Letter to the Editor – Mike Bryant »

Dear Editor:

I am writing to express my concern that members of the KY General Assembly voted to furlough most state workers for six days, but didn’t offer to reduce their own pay by a single cent. In addition to the lost pay the workers will lose, the general public will not [...]

Rand Paul Scared to Face Position on Guantanamo Bay »

Frankfort, Kentucky – Earlier today Rand Paul quickly fled from his own press conference after he was afraid to be thanked for his support of closing the facility at Guantanamo Bay by a group of Kentuckians.   The group, organized by the web site TooKookyForKentucky.com, held signs and distributed flyers about Rand’s position of closing Guantanamo [...]

Thoughts on KY Senate Candidate Rand Paul »

Dear Conservative Leader:
Since I started the informational web site TooKookyforKentucky.com, I’ve been amazed by public interest.  I’ve been interviewed by the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, and I’ve appeared on WTVQ to challenge Rand to answer questions on where he stands on important conservative issues.  I’ve also been harassed by Ron/Rand Paul [...]

Breathitt County mentioned in the NY Times twice- a century between stories- both relating to politics… »

The last time Breathitt County, KY was mentioned in the New York Times was Sunday, November 7, 1909.  The Times then ran a story about an election night feud in Jackson.  Fast Forward 100 years and a few days and we see Breathitt County in the NY Times again.  And, again, it is regarding politics: [...]

I mean, ‘Holiday Tree’? [...]

Some thoughts on KY Senate Candidate Rand Paul »

Dear Republican Leader:
Over the past few months I’ve grown increasingly disturbed about the efforts of Rand Paul’s Libertarian attempts to hijack the GOP.  As you know, a sizable number of Republicans think Rand Paul is a conservative.  However, Rand Paul is anything but a conservative; he’s a libertarian.
To highlight this, I’ve created a web site [...]

The View From the Right »

By: Mike Bryant

I was listening to C-SPAN radio the other day (yes, I really do enjoy listening to the inner workings of
our government, though it is often very scary) and on the radio was the US Senate Committee on
Health Care. Sen. Orrin Hatch, a Republican from Utah, had proposed an amendment that said quite
simply if [...]

The View From The Right »

By Mike Bryant - July 13, 2009

Some interesting quotes to consider…

“When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people… the separate and equal
station to which the Laws of Nature and Nature’s God entitle them…”
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their
Creator [...]
