The Dark Side of Blogging
Filed Under Opinion/Editorial | 5 Comments
Since starting Kentucky Political Review earlier this year, we have been surprised by the unrelenting deluge of spam sent to the blog of a perverted sexual nature and the intensity of vicious comments made about other people’s opinions on various political topics. We all recognize that many tend to take politics a bit too personal, but the lack of tolerance for the opinions of others is alarming. Interestingly, we observe that it is most often those of a liberal point of view who tend to be the least open minded and most intolerant of another opinion. Read more

Why More Government Is Bad
Filed Under News | Leave a Comment
The Department of Energy was instituted in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. Now, 31 years later, the budget for this department is over $24 Billion annually with 16,000 federal employees and approximately 100,000 contract employees. The amount of foreign oil coming into this country has more than doubled what it was in 1977.
Ah yes, good ‘ole bureaucracy. And now we are going to turn the Banking System over to the government?

Willful Ignorance
Filed Under Opinion/Editorial | Leave a Comment
Even though the mainstream media (MSM) was grossly and obviously in the tank for Obama, no American can credibly claim to have been unable to get the truth about Obama, or at least to get enough of it to know that he was and is dangerous. Yes, the MSM was obviously pro-Obama; just to name a few examples, the Washington Post’s ombudsman recently admitted the Post’s clear bias, the L.A. Times sat on the Rashid Khalidi tape, and MSNBC’s continuing employment of the obviously deranged Keith Olbermann and Obama-touting Chris Matthews showed that the network was a wholly owned subsidiary of Obama-Biden, Inc. But conservative radio, bloggers, organizations such as National Right to Life, and the excellent reporting of National Review and The Weekly Standard ensured that more than enough truth was out there for people to have known better than to vote for President-Elect Obama.
