Commentaries by:
Foundation for Economic Education Articles about the Great Depression Coast: “[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) |
"It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man who knows what the law is today can guess what it will be to-morrow." --Federalist No. 62
Who Is Afraid of Change? By Theresa Camoriano When conservatives oppose a government takeover of healthcare, which makes up one-sixth of the U.S. economy, President Obama accuses them of being obstructionist and afraid of change, but the truth is that the President and other elitists – the statists who want more government control of everything – are the ones who really are afraid of change. They are afraid of the common folk having the power to make so many rapid and far-reaching changes over which they have no control and believe they should have the power to control the market in order to make sure their idea of justice prevails (so that they and their friends always win).

For fiscal year 2009, 98% of all federal revenue went to defense, Social Security, Medicare, and interest on the federal debt. All these other programs were paid with borrowed money! – Bobby Eberle
Where the jobs are By Henry Lamb Everyone agrees that we should reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Everyone agrees that we need to increase American jobs. (click to read more)
National Review's Jim Geraghty sums up Obama's America thus: "Unsustainable is the new normal." … It's not the "debt" or the "deficit," it's the spending. And the only way to reduce that is with fewer government agencies, fewer government programs, fewer government employees, lower government salaries. Instead, all four are rocketing up: We are incentivizing unsustainability, and, when it comes to "some collapse down the road," you'll be surprised how short that road is.– Mark Steyn
Text message to Jody: R U 4 real? By Jim Waters Political tone deafness is contagious. Despite the message sent by Massachusetts voters last week, incumbent politicians in Washington and Kentucky don’t seem to get it. I’m beginning to wonder if they ever intend to start protecting — rather than destroying — our liberty. (click to read more)
[A] West Texas wind farm now under construction created 2,800 jobs – but 2,400 of them are in China. Solar power issues are similar….38 states depend on coal for 35-98% of their electricity and a sizable portion of their jobs and tax revenues. – Paul Driessen

The Tebow story will put this human face on abortion for the 100 million or so who will watch the Super Bowl. Nothing could be scarier for the culture of death. When Harriet Beecher Stowe published Uncle Tom's Cabin, she put a human face on slavery. When the American public understood that slaves were human beings, the capacity to tolerate slavery was punctured. – Star Parker
Elitists Always Move Towards Totalitarianism By Jeff “Mario” Smith, Guerilla Reporter February 7th in the year of our Lord 2010 For decades, the United Nations, “The House That Hiss Built”, Alger Hiss being a convicted communist spy, has been positioning itself to be the One World Government authority, or if you will, as George H. W. Bush called it, the New World Order. More than merely a place for nations to hash out their differences, the UN has enacted all manner of world governmental bureaucracies, like the International Criminal Court for example.

I think prisoners of war, enemy combatants and terrorists captured on the battlefield should be tried in military court and not brought to the U.S. I do not believe they should be tried in civilian court." – Rand Paul (see his ad here)
Some of you may not know this, but even in 1959 when I was born, abortion was allowed as a last resort to save a mother's life. I knew one woman who was haunted to her death because a doctor talked her into aborting a son due to the threat to her of carrying the child to term. (click to read more)
If Republicans offer a detailed agenda specifically countering failed Democratic proposals still fresh in voters' minds, the 2010 campaign becomes not a referendum on a personally popular president, but a choice between his unpopular ideas and the free-market, limited-government ideas the American people support. Therein lies a mandate to govern. – Chris Chocola
Leftists, Liars, and Lunatics are in Charge By Jeff “Mario” Smith, Guerilla Reporter February 1st in the year of our Lord 2010 There is going to be a rally at the Capitol in Frankfort on February 20th, 2010 at high noon and information about the rally can be found at www.restoreamericaky.com. It is past time that Americans who want to pass the blessings of Liberty to their posterity stood up and shouted at the leadership that enough is enough and it is time we restored this greatest of nations to its Founding Principles. We want our Freedom back and we want it back now. (click to read more)
It is not fair to compare our current American democratic leaders with the Bolsheviks. Yes, they both use the same slogans in their speeches. Yes, they both stir up envy and class warfare to distract from their failures. Yes, both political movements sought control of the banks as the foundation for their new egalitarian vision. And yes, they are both opposed to free speech, as was made clear by the reaction of American leftists to the recent Supreme Court decision. But you would never find a Czar anywhere in the Soviet government. – Svetlana Kunin
Property Owner Threatened With Jail I'm not sure how many of you have been following this story about Genny's Diner and the owner Frank Faris. I encourage you to read the story linked below and for someone to volunteer to step up and organize some support for Frank to defend his property rights. (click to read more)
Obama and other supporters of restrictions on political speech believe voters can't handle clashing versions of the truth, that they need to be shielded, in the name of democracy, from messages that would otherwise mesmerize them into doing the bidding of "powerful interests." The Framers thought otherwise, and that's why we have the First Amendment. – Jacob Sullum
Like the Medieval doctors who bled a patient to expel the evil spirits that they believed were causing his illness, [Obama] drains the economy of the capital it needs to grow. – Dick Morris
