Comment on Thank you Senator Rand Paul by LiberalsNightmare

Perhaps the cadre of term-loving attorneys who make up most of the leadership were just stunned when Senator Paul a physician by trade gave them a wholesome dose of wisdom just like Kentucky’s famous medicinal elixir, bourbon, as in straight up. Way to go Senator Paul!

Comment on A right to be safe? by Alan Harper

The Yarmouth response reminds me of the oft quoted saying “Don’t confuse me with facts, my mind is already made up.” If I got everything I think and believe about guns from CBS, etc., I would be very like the Sarah Palin quote “I don’t blame people for not knowing what I stand for. If I believed everything I read in the media, I wouldn’t like me either.”(Sarah Palin of Fox News Sunday August 1, 2010) It is basically impossible to overcome the extreme bias projected by the major medias as unbiased fact. They spout this bias multiple times daily and the average person has not the time, energy or will to check the veracity of this waterfall of biased opinion, and in fact, come to believe this drivel as the gospel truth from the sheer number of times it is uttered unchallenged…..but then they never realize the only way to challenge this slanted view is through the very media that promulgates this view and have it as closed to a better truth (hard facts) as Fort Knox.

Comment on Why the dramatically higher motorcycle death rate? by LiberalNightMare

The Wall Street Journal today (April 11, 2012) reported that natural gas prices have dropped from a a high of $14 USD to a low of almost $2 in just four years as gas producers scramble for a place to store all the surplus gas. it turns out that one of the consequences of not having enough oil is they had to go after it differently. This led to fracking and now they have so much gas there is a very good arguement that coal will not remain king for long. In the short run this will be devastating to Kentuckians who under the leadership of our current governor opted not to study how to convert coal to synthetic fuel, something the German’s had to invent in WWII when the allies destroyed all their easy access to oil. So while countries like Malaysia and Qatar lead the world in modern synthetic fuel (super pure and super clean burning too) Kentucky keeps electing leaders who Forbes Magazine only ranks as the worst run state in the country.

Liberals claim to hate mountaintop removal of coal because they claim it is bad for the environment but they keep electing the same people who marshall in low tech answers that are 65 years too late. Does this make Hitler smarter than a KY state governement leader?

Comment on Declaring war on class warfare by Jefferson Review

Jefferson Review — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 21:49:44 +0000

Elizabeth Warren’s comments remind me of the 1980′s when Jews who wanted to leave the Soviet Union were required to “repay” the government for their “free” education. Of course, they already had paid for those “free” things, just as we now pay for our “free” education system and “free” roads.

Interestingly, every time we “stick it to the rich”, the people who are less rich pay the price in many hidden ways, such as in the form of fewer jobs and other opportunities that otherwise would have been created. When the government beats up on “the rich”, claiming to benefit the “masses”, they really are just lining their own pockets and playing us for fools.

Author of Constitution

Gouverneur Morris of Pennsylvania was put in charge of the committee to draft the final copy of the Constitution. Other men who had much to do with writing the new Constitution included John Dickinson, Edmund Randolph, Roger Sherman, James Wilson, and George Wythe. Morris was given the task of putting all the convention’s resolutions and decisions into polished form. Morris actually “wrote” the Constitution. The original copy of the document is preserved in the National Archives Building in Washington, D.C. Jacob Shallus who, at the time, was assistant clerk of the Pennsylvania State Assembly, was given the job of penman of the Constitution. After the Constitution’s text was agreed upon, he engrossed it prior to the signing.

Thomas Jefferson was the main writer of the constitution. Out of all the people with him he was the youngest and ‘forced’ to write a paper that he did not think would turn into a great document.

Comment on Louisville’s Missing East End Bridge Illustrates How the Federal Government is Crippling America by Jefferson Review

When I re-read this article, it caused me to have a flashback to the good old USSR in the 1970′s. When I was a student there, we laughed about always standing in line {“Na Ochered”} to do everything.
