This bill, introduced by Rep. Dennis Kucinich, doesn't look like it will have the votes to pass.2 But it's just the opening argument of a huge fight in Congress to end the war. And ultimately, the success or failure of that fight will depend on how many of us are willing to call, write, email and march… Continue

Václav Klaus, 2010 Club for Growth Economic Winter Conference, Palm Beach, Florida, March 5, 2010

Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen,

Thank you for giving me the chance to address this distinguished audience and for asking me to speak on one of the issues I consider absolutely crucial.

Pupils Aged Five On Hate Register: Teachers Must Log Playground Taunts For Government Database

Heads will be forced to list children as young as five on school 'hate registers' over everyday playground insults.

Even minor incidents must be recorded as examples of serious bullying and details kept on a database until the pupil leaves secondary school.

According to the logic of this argument, if there are no… Continue
