“[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)

 

Most politicians don't seem to understand the connection between our ability to compete and our national wealth, and the wealth of our families. They act as if money just happens -- that it's just there. But every dollar represents a good or service produced in the private sector. Depress the private sector and you depress the well-being of Americans. – Mitt Romney

From the U.S. Supreme Court Back to Louisville:  What’s the Future of School Desegregation?            By Theresa Camoriano

Teddy Gordon recently stood in front of a Louisville Bar Association audience and explained how he happened to find himself suing Jefferson County Schools, first on behalf of black students and then on behalf of white students who were denied admission to their desired school due to racial quotas.  Gordon said he just thought it was wrong that a student should be denied admission to a school on the basis of race, and he agreed to take each of these cases for one dollar.  As a sole practitioner, this was not an easy thing for him to do, since he had to earn his own living and did not have partners with whom to share the financial burden.             (click to read more)

Where were the federal inspectors?           By Henry Lamb

The biggest meat recall in the history of the world topped the domestic news this week: 143-million pounds of beef, processed over the last two years, now scattered throughout the nation's schools and fast-food joints – all recalled. The U.S. Department of Agriculture had little choice. An animal rights group released videotape of "downer" cows being pushed around by a forklift and being dragged across filthy floors before joining healthy cows on the hamburger highway.             (click to read more)

Education fat cats start coughing up hairballs        By Jim Waters

(FRANKFORT, Ky.) — Bills filed in the Legislature this week signal unsettling days ahead for “edu-crats” who have an ingrained, all-consuming passion for preserving, protecting and defending the status quo.              (click to read more)

How can they say that with a straight face?            By Theresa Camoriano

          Sometimes I read or hear people say things that seem so outrageous that I wonder how anyone could actually say it or write it.  Here are a few: 

1.       “It’s cruel to require a woman to see an ultrasound before undergoing an abortion.”  How can it be cruel for a person to be given enough information to make an informed decision?  Is the person who makes this statement so pro-abortion that he doesn’t want a woman to be aware of what she is doing?  Is he afraid she might decide against having an abortion if she realized that the fetus was more than just a glob of cells?             (click to read more)

How the Constitution became irrelevant           By Henry Lamb
 

Every presidential election forces the nation to confront the conflicting philosophies of government that have kept the country divided since the beginning. The issues change, from cycle to cycle, but the underlying philosophical difference remains the same. There is one bunch of people who believe that government should be omnipotent, and guarantee:             (click to read more)

Who wants to be a millionaire? Those willing to pay for a college degree          By John Garen

Most people don't know that they would make a list of U.S. millionaires.

Add up the earnings you have made or will make during your lifetime and convert it to 2008 dollars. A million-plus amount likely will appear, especially if you have a college degree. Yes, college graduates usually do quite well for themselves.              (click to read more)

Truth and Answers, or The Long Black Train            By Jeff “Mario” Smith, Guerilla Reporter

The more I read and learn as I grow in this life and enter into the latter stages of earthly existence, the clearer things become to me. The world has been deceived and is on a rapid path to destruction like a train headed down a mountain out of control. There is a track, but it isn’t being properly used. There is an engineer, but he is guiding the train on its current path of destruction. The Conductors are hard at work acquiring more and more passengers knowing full well where they are headed. And the passengers are entertaining themselves in blissful ignorance of that which is happening right before their very eyes. My friends, get off that Long Black Train.

Don’t forget, the history of trade is a history of success after success. And the freer the trade, the better. Protectionism is not a policy for the workingman, though everyone nowadays seems to pretend that’s the case. It was and remains a policy to help some at the expense of others, usually some rich at the expense of those a lot less rich. – Paul Jacob
