Quote of the day: Restoring liberty?

“But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever." --John Adams

Taking up the cause of freedom starts with a simple vote

Based upon the dismal 10-percent turnout for this year's primary election, it appears the 'them not me' syndrome is alive and well in Kentucky. This Memorial Day weekend, let's commit ourselves not just to gripe about our nation's shortcomings, but to invest in keeping freedom's flame alive.

Apparently BIPPS is about to be 'balanced' out

Yesterday a Herald-Leader columnist/blogger posted about a new think tank based out of Berea called the Kentucky Center for Economic Policy.  At the end of the post this statement is made:

Expect the Kentucky Center for Economic Policy to provide some progressive balance to the conservative Bluegrass Institute for Public Policy Solutions, based in Bowling Green.

Do we really need "balance" provided for the ideas of sound fiscal policy, accountability in education, and transparency in government? The Bluegrass Institute proudly stands behind these ideas.  We are proud to be Kentucky's only free-market think that provides free-market solutions to Kentucky's most pressing problems.  Does liberty need to be balanced? We don't think so.

Check out Zieger’s concerns in this video extract of his comments at the 1st Annual Commonwealth Freedom-Liberty Conference on October 2, 2010.

U.S. Constitution - Irrelevant Historical Artifact

Or so says Wilder Publications according to Fox News.
