A Case for Defunding Planned Parenthood

Posted on by

Do you know who Margaret Sanger was? Sanger founded Planned Parenthood in 1916 to solve the “Negro Problem.” That doesn’t sound too creepy does it? She was a racist. She was evil! She believed in eliminating those “species of people” who didn’t contribute to “race betterment.” Did I mention that she was the founder of Planned Parenthood?

She believed in a concept called eugenics. Eugenics is the cleansing of society of the undesirable people who serve no value in Sanger’s insane world. She believed sterilization was needed to stop the undesirables from multiplying and she also believed that society must “weed the garden” of valueless humans. She is Adolph Hitler in a dress. It gets worse. Continue reading →

Why Don’t Kentucky Legislators Embrace Right-To-Work Legislation

Posted on by

Indiana is the twenty-third state to pass Right-To-Work legislation. Kentucky is not one of those states. What is Right-To-Work (RTW)? RTW legislation permits employees to decide if they wish to pay union dues without the fear of losing their jobs.

Indiana projects private-sector employees will save $18.4 million per year from RTW legislation. Indiana’s goal is to attract more employers and more jobs by having a business friendly environment. The Heritage Foundation’s James Sherk revealed that states with RTW legislation are experiencing an unemployment rate of 9.2% while states without RTW legislation have an average unemployment rate of 9.9%. 

According to Forbes, “Indiana’s action comes as the nation’s overall union membership rate continues to slide. Last year, only 11.8 %, or 7.2 million, of the private and public workforce belonged to unions, according to the latest figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). This compares to union membership of 20.1%, or 17.7 million workers, in 1983, the first year for which comparable union data are available, the BLS said in announcing the figures last week.” Continue reading →

No Guns. No America.

Without guns, America would not exist! Unfortunately, America’s freedoms will not continue without the American people having the freedom to arm themselves.

Do you understand the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment? Its twenty-seven words long. The longest word has nine letters. Yes, it was written well over two hundred years ago, but I believe every person who graduated from the eighth-grade completely understands its meaning. The Second Amendment states, “A well regulate Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

Did you understand that? Do we need an academia expert to dumb down this quote so simple Americans, like me, can understand it? The key word in this amendment is “infringed.” What does that mean? Continue reading →

Should Congress Increase Employee Social Security Tax Back to 6.2% from 4.2%?

Posted on by

How did we arrive at this place? In 2010, Congress reduced the employee social security investment from 6.2% of an employee’s annual wages up to $110,100 to 4.2%. This decrease has saved the average taxpayer $900 per year or a household with two incomes $1,800.

The decrease was due to expire on December 31, 2011, however, Congress voted to extend it until the end of February 2012. So here we go again. As of today, It appears Democrats and Republicans will extend the tax cut, but should they?

Here are several questions we must consider:

If an employee’s social security investments are reduced from 6.2% to 4.2%, doesn’t that decrease reduce their future social security benefits? In theory, yes. In reality, no. I don’t know anyone who believes their social security benefits will be there when they retire. If benefits are available, the requirements to receive social security benefits will probably dramatically change. Continue reading →

Senate Rejects Term Limits, Here’s What We Need to Do

Posted on by

Last week, Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) submitted constitutional-amendment 1488 that would limit the number of terms a member of Congress may serve. His amendment placed limits of two six-year terms on U.S. Senators and three two-year terms on U.S. House members.

The amendment failed by a vote of 24-75. Kentucky’s Senator Rand Paul voted for term limits while Senator Mitch McConnell voted against term limits.

America is at a crossroad. If “We the People” refuse to accept our responsibility to become educated voters, term limits is the only logical solution. Let’s face it; most Americans have no idea why they’re voting for any candidate. They select candidates based on name recognition, personalities, and special interest groups’ recommendations or simply by party affiliation. I know because that’s how I voted for almost thirty years. I’ve solved my problem. Continue reading →
