“[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)

 

Obama chose to be part of that church for 20 years. He was not born into it. His "personal" character matters, just as Eliot Spitzer's "personal" character matters -- and just as Hillary Clinton's character would matter if she had any. – Thomas Sowell

Poison To The People            By Theresa Camoriano

How can it be that the same people who are panicked about one part per billion of a contaminant in our water or air, because they are afraid it will poison them, are completely unfazed by the poison of lies, half-truths, and generally evil ideas that are promoted and accepted without challenge?  Don’t they realize that the harm done to a society that accepts these polluting, evil thoughts and ideas is far worse than any harm caused by few minor chemical contaminants?             (click to read more)

Empowering families            By Ken Blackwell

Across the country, governors are rushing to pour more and more tax dollars into state-run preschool programs. Today, all but 10 states offer some sort of taxpayer-funded preschool for some 3-and-4-year-olds – primarily based on need.

According to the National Institute for Early Education Research, more than $3.3 billion is spent on the nearly 950,000 children who used these programs each year. And last year, 28 states increased government funding by a combined 13 percent.             (click to read more)

3 candidates for global governance           by Henry Lamb

The Revolutionary War was all about establishing the independence of, and bestowing national sovereignty upon, the United States of America. The U.S. Constitution created a system of limited government that championed individual freedom, which produced the most prosperous and productive civilization the world has ever known. This unique position in the world is rapidly waning. The next presidential election will surely accelerate the rate of descent into global mediocrity.             (click to read more)

Dueling zoning regulations don’t work          By John Garen

The subprime mortgage situation should sharpen our focus on issues related to housing and home ownership.

Much of the recent coverage relates to lax conditions under which lenders wrote many subprime mortgages and how that problem has been compounded by a flat housing market.             (click to read more)

Frankfort's secret society sucks the life out of liberty           By Jim Waters

What you have a right to do, and what’s right to do often don’t have much in common. Secret budget meetings attended by big-spending politicians may be legal. But that doesn’t make them right.

Why should decisions get made during closed meetings about how hard-earned money of Kentuckians will turn into tax revenue?             (click to read more)

[Some people] have a depraved taste for equality, which impels the weak to lower the powerful to their own level, and reduces men to prefer equality in slavery to inequality with freedom. I believe that it is easier to establish an absolute and despotic government amongst a people in which the conditions of society are equal, than amongst any other; and I think that, if such a government were once established amongst such a people, it would not only oppress men, but would eventually strip each of them of several of the highest qualities of humanity. Despotism, therefore, appears to me peculiarly to be dreaded in democratic times. — Alexis de Tocqueville
