Milton Friedman Says No To Refs C & D

, ,

By Jessica Peck Corry (Jessica@JessicaCorry.com) Milton Friedman, winner of the Nobel Price in economics, has denounced Refs C & D for what they are--a massive tax increase that won't help bring accountability to our ever-growing government.

According to aGreeley Tribune article that ran on September 14th, Friedman said the following: "I strongly urge the voters of Colorado to reject Referendum C, or any action that would suspend Colorado's Taxpayers Bill of Rights. I strongly favor the continued and uninterrupted use of TABOR, including it's so called ratchet mechanism. The ratchet is one of the best features of TABOR. It is the only thing that will reduce out-of-control government spending."

War enters 5th year: Why not victory?

(John Andrews in the Denver Post, Sept. 18) Why not victory? The question haunted me all day on Sept. 11, the fourth anniversary of Islamofascist military attacks against America’s seat of self-government, Washington, and our crown jewel of liberty, New York.

Radio, Sept. 18: Beyond Katrina

By John Andrews, Host of Backbone Radiobackboneradio@aol.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Join us every Sunday, 5-8pm on 710 KNUS, Denver or at www.710knus.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Okay, that's more like it. Storm hysteria finally began to abate this week, and some perspective was regained. It takes more than just a hurricane, even a monster storm like Katrina, to knock the United States of America off its pins.

Even when the political and media elites lose their heads in a manner that would disgust our stern forefathers, the good sense of the American people and the resiliency of American institutions have a way of coming through. What a relief.

Katrina's Unintended Consequence: A National Dialogue on Fatherhood?

, ,

By Jessica Peck Corry Rocky Mountain News editor Vince Carroll hits the nail on the head in his Tuesday analysis of the liberal push to have a national “conversation on poverty” in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

He writes: “until Katrina, we are supposed to believe only media commentators, academics and Democratic politicians thought or cared about poverty, because—well, because they’re just a lot more compassionate and thoughtful than everyone else.”

Radio, Sept. 11: America Asleep?

"I tremble for my country," Thomas Jefferson wrote, referring to the evil within -- human slavery apathetically tolerated in the midst of a free republic. This week, on the fourth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on our homeland, I tremble at the apathy of many Americans toward the evil without -- Islamofascists who hate our free republic -- enemies bent on killing millions of us and enslaving the rest.
