“[State controlled] education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.” – Joseph Stalin

Competitive Enterprise Institute

"[I]f you serve a child a rotten hamburger in America, federal, state, and local agencies will investigate you, summon you, close you down, whatever.  But if you provide a child with a rotten education, nothing happens, except that you're liable to be given more money to do it with."

--Ronald Reagan

“Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.” - Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870-1924)

 

Depending on how one counts the number of abortions per year since 1973, more than 50 million people who might have been are not. These were people who, regardless of the circumstances of the women who carried them, had the potential to contribute to the country and to the world. But now they cannot, because they are not. Would we be fighting the battle over immigration had we not rid ourselves of a generation of humans who likely would have done the work for which we are now importing illegal aliens? Actions have consequences. – Cal Thomas

You Be The Judge            By Theresa Camoriano

Martin Luther King, Jr. said we should judge people not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character – it should be noted that he said we should judge people.   Unfortunately, the “diversity” curricula that have been used in our schools teach our children that all cultures, all people, and all traditions are equal and should not be judged.  What a disastrous thing to teach!        (click to read more)

When a business sets standards or policies with adverse effects that fall disproportionately on minorities, courts call that a "disparate impact" and equate it with discrimination. But the same liberals who applaud that approach when it comes to businesses would be appalled if the same standard were applied to their own environmentalist restrictions that force vast numbers of blacks out of their own upscale liberal communities. – Thomas Sowell

Why Can’t We Build A Bridge            By Theresa Camoriano

For the twenty-one years I have lived in Louisville, people have been expressing a strong desire to build a bridge across the Ohio River.  One of the main commercial advantages Louisville has is its central location, so improving transportation in the Louisville area by building a bridge would be very advantageous in attracting and growing business.  It also would make life much more pleasant for many commuters and would allow for the development of areas that have been difficult to access in the past.  For many years, the project was successfully opposed by powerful and wealthy people in Prospect who did not want a bridge in their area.  To her credit, Anne Northup spearheaded the effort and moved the project along, past environmental impact statements and other planning stages.  Now it is time to begin building, and Kentucky says it does not have the money.  Why not?        (click to read more)

"If anything, liberals are even more dangerous than Islamacists. The terrorist attacks with bombs and bullets. The liberal saps our will to resist. He rationalizes evil. In the name of civil liberties, he constantly seeks to undermine national security and make it impossible to safeguard our people from another 9/11." ---Don Feder

Seeing through the ‘Web’ of secret spending          By Jim Waters

Simon Bolivar liberated South America from its Spanish occupiers during the early 19th century and was often referred to as the “George Washington of South America.” He once said: “Every citizen has the right to maintain vigilance over the public treasury. Its conservation is in the public interest.”        (click to read more)

The Ron Paul attraction          - By Henry Lamb

In modern times, third-party candidates have been little more than a curious distraction from the main event, often siphoning enough votes from one major party to ensure victory by the other. Al Gore, for example, is convinced that Ralph Nader's votes put George W. Bush in the White House.         (click to read more)

Finally-A Little Respect for Mitt            By: Michael A. Minton  

Well, there were a whole lot of nay-sayers about Mitt’s chances to win a “Gold” in Michigan yesterday. Well, all I can say to you folks is: na-na-na-na-na-na. I know, I studied Political Science and Public Speaking, and the best I can do is a string of na-na’s? Well, you have to remember, I am a single father of two young girls, and sometimes the way they phrase things sums it up best!        (click to read more)

New York Times ‘Killer Vet’ Story Exposed as Erroneous by Pro-Troop Group         (Press release from Move America Forward)

SACRAMENTO- Move America Forward (website: www.MoveAmericaForward.org), the nation’s largest grassroots pro-troop organization, today announced that after vetting the numbers cited by The New York Times in their Sunday, January 13, 2008 story, “Across America, Deadly Echoes of Foreign Battles,” it became clear that the Times had engaged in demonstrably erroneous and false reporting.        (click to read more)

It is manifestly contrary to the interest of the consumers to prevent the most efficient entrepreneurs from expanding the sphere of their activities up to the limit to which the public approves of their conduct of business by buying their products. Here again, the issue is who should be supreme, the consumers or the government? In the unhampered market the behavior of consumers, their buying or abstention from buying, ultimately determines each individual's income and wealth. Should one vest in the government the power to overrule the consumer's choices? — Ludwig von Mises
