Our next regular meeting will be October 22. There are three belief systems competing to dominate our society – Americanism, Leftism, and Islamism. Those three systems are not compatible with each other. While there are many people promoting Leftism and Islamism, nobody has systematically promoted Americanism. Our American system has produced the freest, most prosperous, most fair and just society in the history of the world, but we are at great risk of losing it. What is Americanism and how can we promote it? For starters, come to our meeting on Monday, Oct. 22 at 7 pm! We will end in plenty of time for you to get home for the debate.

Our May 21 meeting: Topic: How KY Governor Beshear is implementing Obamacare and what can be done to stop him. Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear has been quietly implementing socialized medicine in this state since the early days of his first term. He has expanded Medicaid and is now well into the process of setting up ObamaCare, obligating us to participate whether the Supreme Court upholds the federal law or not. Worse, the legislature has quietly gone along with Beshear’s plan. In 2012, Beshear and the legislature budgeted $50 million to expand Medicaid eligibility and accepted another $60 million in federal funds to build a massive socialized medicine bureaucracy in Frankfort. David Adams has been watching all these activities closely all along. He will speak to us with a full update and details on what we can do to stop it. Go here for a summary of David Adams’ presentation including suggestions as to what you can do to stop Obamacare in Kentucky.

On April 23, 2012. Bill Vetter made a presentation on the separation of church and state. It was so successful that we plan to have a follow-up meeting on that topic in the future.
Our March 26 meeting was very successful. We took several of the issues that are being debated today and focused on what techniques are being used to trick us or cloud the issue and how to cut through the fog and make the issues clear. The truth is our friend – we need to learn how to use it.
February 27, 2012 – We learned about Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals . What did he advocate? How are his tactics being used today? How can we defend against them? Can we use them for our benefit? This was a lively discussion! Many thanks to Patrick Adams for leading the discussion.
