The attacks on Governor Matt Bevin here in Kentucky have been relentless:  And for what?  Because he is trying to fix Kentucky’s failing pension plan for state workers.  Those attacks have come mostly from the Kentucky Education Association and their allies, the major media outlets here in the state.  Why would they do this?

To understand what’s happening in Kentucky and across the nation with the rise of socialism, you must understand the history of the National Education Association and its state affiliates.

The NEA was founded in 1857 with Continue reading →

We’re hearing a great deal of talk about “socialism” in the political realm these days.  In a number of places around the country the Democratic Parties are electing socialist candidates.  And while the Republican Parties have not openly embraced socialism yet, many Republicans in government carry out their government duties in a socialistic way.  They take tax dollars from a citizen in one part of the country, and spend it for a project in another part of the country.  This is the redistribution of wealth by government mandate; which is one of the main tenets of Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto.  It is socialism.

America tried socialism in the 1600s.  The Pilgrims worked Continue reading →

In June, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a twenty-eight year-old avowed socialist, won the Democratic nomination for New York’s 14th Congressional District.  While fifty years ago a political candidate who would have so openly embraced socialism as his political philosophy would have spelled his doom, today it’s becoming much more accepted due to the multitude of Socialists professors in America’s universities.  They teach our young adults from a socialist perspective, and many, if not most, of those young adults come to think socialistically.  Now they are running for office—and some are winning!

Why is this upsurge in socialism occurring?  I believe it is mainly because we don’t understand what socialism really is.  satan has always worked in the darkness; and it is in this region of ignorance that tyranny begins.  So let’s TURN THE LIGHT ON SOCIALISM.  Let’s take a REAL look into it and its operations.

By definition, socialism “is Continue reading →

Do we Americans live in the land of the free; or the land of political slavery?  Political slavery, or socialism, means that the few who administer civil government tell the rest of us what to do.  To determine if we live in political slavery:

• Ask a parent if they can spank their child without fear of the government removing the child from them;
• Ask a school teacher if they can choose their own curriculum;
• Ask a physician if they can choose the type of medicine, therapy, or hospital, by which they care for their patients;
• Ask a business owner if he can operate without first consulting government as to his location, pay for employees, and tools he uses;
• Ask a church if they can building a building, or parking lot, without first asking government about septic systems, phone taxes, employee taxes, fire prevention restrictions, etc.;
• Ask an individual how long he works each year just to pay the government what he is taxed. Let me answer that one for you; in 2013 all Americans worked until April 18th just to pay local, state and national taxes—30% of their work year!!

President Ronald Reagan warned us,

“Government that is big enough to give you everything you want is more likely to simply take everything you’ve got.”

(Speech given at St. John’s University in New York, March 28, 1985)

Kentucky has a state pension “nightmare”.  The report is that the state workers retirement fund is forty-one billion dollars in the hole.  To give you an idea how bad that is for my home state:  Kentucky’s state government budget is only about twelve billion a year.  Previous administrations have, in my opinion, defrauded Kentucky’s people.

So shouldn’t we address this problem at its root instead of just trying to temporarily change the fruit out on the limb?  To do that, we have to Continue reading →
