Seth Cohn, well known by supporters of freedom, has an excellent piece, published by the Concord Monitor, which you can view online.

He wants Mitt to keep his "mitts" off money belonging to people in other states. Mitt seems inclined -- no, EXCITED -- to be going after more of your cash in order to fix the deadly government tunnel project in the Boston harbor.

Sam Blumenfeld, the most well-versed expert on government education "Against the Grain" has featured, joined Gardner on Friday, July 21, to discuss the new revelations that more and more middle-grade and high school students cannot read.

Sam will be back, soon! For more on his Alpha Phonics program and book, call 781-899-6468.

The fetal stem cell funding bill was vetoed by George Bush -- his first veto. Here, "Human Events" editor, Terry Jeffrey discusses the ramifcations of the Senate vote, just prior to Bush's actions to stop the funding.

For an excellent piece on Senator Bill Frist's prevarication on this issue, go to www.humaneventonline.com.

Many thanks to Terry Jeffrey.

Join Gardner Goldsmith as he covers the issue of fetal stem cell funding from the federal government. This is not only a constitutional issue, but also a moral issue. One can evaluate this issue on two fronts, and come to the conclusion that federal funding for this kind, or any kind of scientific experimentation is unjustified.

We thank the former Vice President for being so knowledgeable.

Gardner and Ian continue their conversation on national and state topics including education and "wellness".

Thanks, Ian.

On Friday, July 14 (Bastille Day -- Way to make it pay off, France) Ian Bernard, of Free Talk Live (www.freetalklive.com) joined Gardner Goldsmith to discuss many national and state issues. On the agenda was the incredibly brilliant idea of imposing federal "wellness" standards on local school districts.

Wonderful!

Now that more than 200 bolts were found to be "in danger", and following the death of a mother of three, it migh tbe productive to question the paradigm of federal funding of road projects, or government funding altogether.

Graft, corruption, failed and shoddy work. A deadly combination.

Stated, again, with all due respect to the family of the deceased.

It happened! Secretary of Defense Don Rumsfeld graced "Against the Grain", and all of NH, with his presence.

Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

Not everyone buys the claims of the Bush Adminstration that the so-called "war" gives the Executive Branch special powers.

One such man is James Bovard.

This is part two of two, with James.

Attention Deficit Democracy

On Wednesday, July 12, well-known author James Bovard, whose latest book, "Attention Deficit Democracy" is a wake-up call for freedom-lovers everywhere, joined Gardner Goldsmith on "Against the Grain". Together, James and Gard explored the news that the Bush Administration will now conform to the Geneva Conventions on prisoner treatment, when the adminstration has repeatedly told us it WAS already conforming to them.

WASHINGTON – The Bush administration, called to account by Congress after the Supreme Court blocked military tribunals, said today all detainees at Guantanamo Bay and in U.S. military custody everywhere are entitled to protections under the Geneva Conventions.

With respect to the deseased, we investigate the problem of mispent money, unconstitutional projects, and Congressmen who take our cash for their pet ideas.

One woman is dead, and her husband in the hospital, after a 3 tonne section of the Ted Williams Tunnel fell on their car the night of July 10, 2006.

Here is the rest of the story...

This was something that should not have happened, both in the specific case of this death, and in the general issue of the Big Dig funding itself. Two years ago, the Foundation for Economic Education published a piece by Gardner Goldsmith on the Big Dig. The link is here:

Thanks to Number Two, the Conspiracy would like to offer for your perusal the comments of Alaska Senator Ted Stevens, member of the Senate Commerce Committee (better known at the "Anti-commerce Committee"). As a member of the committee, Senator Stevens is charged (though not constitutionally) with regulating the nation to death.

This he does with aplomb and striking enthusiasm, despite his glaring lack of knowledge about the things he wants to regulate. Case in point, the internet. Ted and his pals in DC are looking into the interest of businesses to provide upgraded levels of internet service for added fees. Since Ted does not seem to believe that people can be free to use their money to get something better, because it might make others feel inadequate, he is against letting businesses offer things like faster service, video news, and music options for a bit more. Equality means the equal sharing of misery, not equal treatment under the law.

If one were to listen only to the pop media, he would get the impression that NJ governor John Corzine was standing firm against an income tax, as if he were opposed to placing such a burden on his people in order to make up for a $4.5 billion budget deficit. But what the pop media "reporters" don't report is that Corzine is simply in favor of a different way to take money from the citizens. He wants a sales tax.

Regardless of the brand of poison, the tax ideas are pernicious. Majority sanctioned theft is still theft. But, of course, don't expect the pop media to make this observation. Don't expect them to note one of the major reasons New Jersey is in this financial mess, which is due to the fact that NJ, like New Hampshire and more than thirty other states, was targeted by educrats for a lawsuit that would centralize education funding decisions in the state. This has brought about an explosion in education costs for NJ, NH, Texas, New York, VT, CT, and all the other states where the education establishment and leftist legal community have joined forces to destroy local control of schools.
