Quotes From Kentucky Politicians (2015)

Fancy Farm, 2015

“Now Fancy Farm is that special time of year where politicians try to avoid putting their foot in their mouths. Well, we know if my opponent puts his foot in his mouth, it will be clean, well-trimmed and polished. And if I'm not mistaken, there's a pedicure booth right here on the grounds of Fancy Farm, so Whitney [Westerfield], stop by, and you won't have to miss court this time.”
~Andy Beshear, Democratic candidate for attorney general, poking fun at state Sen. Whitney Westerfield, who according to his personnel file when he was an assistant county attorney, once overlooked work duties to get a pedicure.

“I did cut it pretty close. I got a pedicure at lunch, and I'm ready to go toe-to-toe with you.”

Besides the Governor and the Lieutenant Governor's race, which run on one ticket, Kentucky has 5 other major state executive positions that are up for grabs: Treasurer, Auditor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, and the Commissioner of Agriculture.

Instead of Kentuckians talking about a Republican primary that they will have virtually have no impact on, Kentuckians would do themselves wonders if they started to talk about the candidates running for these 7 major executive state positions... there's also about 30 elected county positions that are worth mentioning... but that's in 3 years from now. One step at a time.

The Attorney General of Kentucky... serves as the state's chief prosecutor, the state's chief law enforcement officer and the state's chief law officer. As the chief prosecutor, the attorney general is the chairman of the Kentucky Prosecutors Advisory Council, which supervises the prosecutors of Kentucky. As chief law officer, he writes opinions to advise government officials and agencies concerning the law. The attorney general holds an ex officio seat on various Kentucky state boards and agencies.

The primary duty of the Auditor of Public Accounts is to audit all accounts and financial transactions of all state government spending agencies.

The Commissioner of Agriculture is responsible for expanding agricultural markets, increasing rural economic development, and promoting the Kentucky Proud program.

The Secretary of State for Kentucky is responsible for business registration, preservation of state records, state election management and other administrative, fiscal and personnel tasks.

The Kentucky State Treasurer is the chief financial officer of the government of Kentucky, responsible for maintaining the state funds and acting as the state's bank.

If you have any awareness or public consciousness of the political sphere, deciding who should be the State Treasurer is infinitely more important of a decision/position that will affect Kentuckians moreso than whether Rick Perry or Scott Walker would be a better Republican candidate for the Presidency. Kentucky may get to vote on the Presidential primary in May, but by that time, who has won the nomination has already been decided on, months ago. That is why I have compiled some of the most compelling one-liners that Kentucky's politicians have to offer.

“I have been named one of the best lawyers in America from my peers four straight times. I've taken on and won the big complex cases, and I have a record of standing up for people, not for collecting debt from them.”
~Andy Beshear

“My wife Britney and I are the proud parents of a 5 year old daughter and a 6 year old son.”
~Andy Beshear

“That's why I have 3 priorities... #1, we have to better protect our kids from the epidemic level of child abuse in this State. That's why on Monday I released a 7 point plan just to show you how we're going to do it. #2, we've got to end the spread of illegal drugs like heroin and find better treatment for our friends and neighbors. Folks, since starting this race, I've talked to 50 sets of parents who have lost their kids to heroin alone. Enough is enough. Finally, we've got to better protect parents and grandparents to the ever increasing numbers of scams and abuse. Protecting our seniors is our duty.”
~Andy Beshear

“You could donate to Andy Beshear, like everybody else has, and maybe you'll get a board appointment from the Governor.”
~Whitney Westerfield

“If always you do what you've always did, you'll always get what you've always got.”
~Whitney Westerfield

“You know, there's no education in the second kick of a mule. There's no point in beating a dead horse, and there's no sense in electing a second Beshear in Kentucky.”
~Whitney Westerfield


“Go ahead and boo. Im a big guy... I won't cry like Jack Conway.”
~Mike Harmon

“I know that Adam talks a lot about being born into a farm family in Meade County, but did you know that he actually attended an elite prep school in Louisville.”
~Mike Harmon

Adam changed political parties in high school. He was a Young Republican, and then switched to being a Young Democrat.

“Adam is very deliberate with his words. Why he even traveled all of the way to South Carolina, just so he could praise Obama, and then, he didn't even fill out his Kentucky Right-to-Life form.”
~Mike Harmon

“Check out mikeharmon.com. God Bless!”
~Mike Harmon

“Ladies and Gentlemen, that's the first time I've ever been called a liberal... My NRA record is 20 points higher than Allison's.”
~Rick Nelson, Democratic candidate for Kentucky State Treasurer

“I'm Allison Ball and I'm running for Kentucky State Treasurer. I am the good Allison on the ballot. The only Allison you should be voting for. And to help you remember this in the next few months, I'm going to give you a list, so you can tell the difference between the two of us. The first thing to remember, I spell my name with two “L's” while the other Alison spells it with one. Two, my father has never given me a sweet deal on a bus. Three, I don't use my full name everywhere I go. Four, I've never been supported Barack Obama, Harry Reid, or Hollywood liberals. As a person from eastern Kentucky, I actually am a friend of coal. And the other Alison has been a bit confused about who she voted for, for President the last time around. I'm happy to tell you that I voted against Barack Obama, just like almost everybody else in Kentucky.”
~Allison Ball

“I started my first business when I was 9 years old selling positive pencils for 25 cents each or 4 for a dollar.”
~Allison Ball

“I know what it is to work hard. My opponent by contrast is a retired teacher and has been a member of the liberal Democrat House for 14 years. This is important to notice because this says something about him. 14 years ago, the teacher's retirement system was solvent, and was in good shape. Today, it is not, and that's because of policies by liberal Democrat opponent has supported. He has supported debt increasing policies the whole time he has been in Frankfort and he would continue to do that as Kentucky State Treasurer.”
~Allison Ball

“My opponent has often talked about financial literacy as a focus of his campaign. Well having a member of the liberal Democrat house teach about financial literacy is like asking one of the [guise-niners?] of the Titanic to teach a course on ship building, it's not a good idea.”
~Allison Ball

“We need somebody with a financial background. We need somebody with new ideas. We need the future and not the past. We need the good Alison as Kentucky's State Treasurer.”
~Allison Ball

“There's some tension between Mitch McConnell and Matt Bevin. Look, they actually had to put somebody sitting in between them just to make sure everything's okay.”
~Matt Jones

“Just say you voted for him, we know you did. It's okay. I voted for him. If Drew knew how to vote, he would have voted for him. Just say it, and we can all move on.”
~Matt Jones, to Alison Grimes

Crit Luallen

Crit Luallen has worked with 7 Kentucky Governors.

“Jack Conway and Sannie Overly represent a new generation of leadership. They will build on our current momentum with new ideas, new energy, and new commitment to the future.”
~Crit Luallen

“Matt Bevin simply can't be trusted to be your Governor. He may be a good salesman, but Kentucky can't afford what he is selling. If you listen to what he said and what he believes, let there be no mistake.
~Crit Luallen

“[Matt Bevin] would devastate our public schools, decimate protections for working families, and derail our progress.”
~Crit Luallen

“This race isn't about who's in the White House. This race is about who's in your house. Your family, your children, and whether they will have the future they deserve. To preserve that future, elect the Democratic ticket.”
~Crit Luallen

Adam Edelen

“Go ahead and stick your chin out Matt, because this one is going to get hurt.”
~Adam Edelen

Adam Edelen says “important” like John Edwards, but not always. Sometimes there's a southern twang there, but sometimes not.

“We can do big important things in Kentucky when we get beyond mindless empty cotton candy rhetoric, and get about the business of changing people's lives.”
~Adam Edelen


“My father Larry Edelen here, who is a Meade County farmer. And let me tell you something Mike. This man, I got the education you mocked, because this man was never late on a child support payment. Those are true family values!”
~Adam Edelen

“Kicking a half million of Kentuckians off the insurance rolls with the stroke of the pen, is callous, and it's not Christian. Maybe this side of the aisle [Republicans] should put down the books of Ayn Rand, and pick up the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John!”
~Adam Edelen

“At Fancy Farm, Rand Paul is limited to speaking for only 5 minutes, and doesn't jeopardize the national security of this country!”
~Adam Edelen

“[This race] is not a dispute between Republicans and Democrats. My friends, this is the difference between the mainstream and the extreme. Values that say, we understand that we owe a little something against the law of the jungle. We are the law of the land. Folks, for the next 94 days, stand up and elect Jack Conway and this outstanding Democratic ticket, and reject the politics of cynicism and division. Thank y'all and God Bless Ya.”
~Adam Edelen

~Matt Jones

“Mitch! Mitch! GO ahead, and clap! I know! You're a Louisville fan. Clap! You're not fooling me!... He wanted me to say that he went to UK law school, well, I went to Duke, and I hate 'em.”
~Matt Jones

“[Fancy Farm] is an amazing event. This event started in 1880. I want you to think about what was happening in 1880. In 1880, James Garfield was elected President of the United States. In 1880, the first ever professional baseball game was played on the polo grounds. And in 1880, Mitch McConnell was elected to the Senate for the first time. That's pretty amazing. Only 135 years of service.”
~Matt Jones

“He's got a Presidential race to lose, so he's got to make sure to take care of that.”
~Matt Jones, on Rand Paul

“Rand Paul, come back home. You're not going to win. The crazy people are voting for Donald Trump or Bernie Sanders... you're not going to win. Just come on back home... Calm down (to the loud obnoxious asshole Republicans in the crowd). I'm going to make fun of them too.”
~Matt Jones

“Governor Beshear... think about Governor Beshear for a second. He is in his final term, and let's talk about what he did. [cheers] Oh you like that, huh? Okay. He's in his final term, and let's think about what he's accomplished... [“nothing!”]... let me talk! You all have... stop it. He cut $1 Billion Dollars from the budget. He privatized Medicaid. He appealed the gay marriage decision of the Supreme Court, and he fought EPA on coal. I've got to tell you Governor, you've the best Republican Governor we've ever had in this State.”
~Matt Jones

“Here's what I've realized. [Jack Conway] has got perfect hair that he likes to plays with, he cusses at me, and he cries in front of me... he's like all of my girlfriends, combined into one.”
~Matt Jones

“They actually had to sit somebody in between them, just to make sure they behave.”
~Matt Jones

“Just trust me. Jack Conway doesn't have an accent, but he will have one today.”
~Matt Jones

“2 of our biggest politicians, both went to Duke. Rand Paul, and Jack Conway... wait... and Matt Bevin, he put it on his resume, that he went there.”
~Matt Jones

“Richie Farmer said that he'll be gracious enough that he'd make the first license plate to whoever wins this election.”
~Matt Jones

“They've asked me to say this. We want to try and keep this civil. So no chants while people are speaking. We're not a bunch of Indiana fans acting like hooligans out here. Be normal. Also, no noisemakers. If you bring out a noisemaker, it's going to be like Rick Pitino. You'll be finished in less than 15 seconds, and we're getting you out. So, no noisemakers.”
~Matt Jones

“Steve (Beshear)... enjoy your retirement – I'll still be working! Mitch McConnell, Majority Leader U.S. Senate."
~U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell, reading an inscription he wrote on a selfie Beshear, who can't run again because of term limits, took at last year's Fancy Farm.

“Rand Paul is busy, he has a presidential race to lose. He's got to make sure to take care of that. …. I have a message, you're probably watching in Iowa, you're maybe, like shucking corn in Dubuque or something like that. So Rand, look at me. Look in the camera. Come back home, you're not gonna win. You're not gonna win. The crazy people are voting for Donald Trump or Bernie Sanders. You're not gonna win. Just come on back and join us here in the state.”
~ Matt Jones, the emcee of Fancy Farm, on the fact that U.S. Sen. Rand Paul didn't attend.

“The Republican Party is trying to put one over on Kentuckians. Folks, they are taking a candidate, Matt Bevin, who a year ago, they themselves, called an east coast con-man and a pathological liar and all at once now, they're telling us that he's been rehabilitated and he is worthy of being governor. Now let me tell you something, I believe in recycling as much as anybody, but that is ridiculous.”
~Steve Beshear

“He cut one billion dollars from the budget, he privatized Medicaid, he appealed the gay marriage decision to the Supreme Court and he fought the (Environmental Protection Agency) on coal. I've got to tell you, Governor. You're the best Republican governor we've ever had in this state.”
~Matt Jones, the Emcee of Fancy Farm, on Democratic Steve Beshear

“But it's totally not fair to say Miss Grimes hasn't done anything. She's tried to make it easier for veterans to vote. For Mitch McConnell.”
~Stephen Knipper, Republican candidate for secretary of state.

“I am the good Allison on the ballot. The other Alison is a little bit confused about who she voted for president the last time around. So I'm happy to tell you that I voted against Barack Obama.”
~Allison Ball, Republican candidate for state treasurer

“I hear that after Mitch speaks, he leaves. So Matt Bevin, you might have 99 problems, and a Mitch ain't one.”
~Matt Jones

“I'll give Jack Conway this. He's a good actor. He's been running around Kentucky all Summer. Pretending to be John Wayne. Let's be honest Jack, the only “John” you remind people of, is John Edwards, minus the authenticity.”
~Mitch McConnell

“Let me tell what one of the results of having a Kentuckian setting the agenda in the Senate is. On Monday, we'll be voting to defund Planned Parenthood.”
~Mitch McConnell

“In terms of foreign policy, Jimmy Carter said it best. I can't think of a single place in the world that we're better off since Obama's been in office. That's Jimmy Carter.”
~Mitch McConnell

“So folks, if you loved of two terms of Barack Obama and some of these misguided people actually did, then you're going to love Jack Conway.”
~Mitch McConnell


Steve Beshear

“This spring, Kentucky was crowned #1 in the nation when it comes to economic development. Fact! Kentucky's unemployment rate has dropped from 10.7% to 5.1%. Fact! Kentucky was second in the nation in bringing healthcare to our families. And fact! We just finished the fiscal year with a surplus. I just deposited $82 Million dollars into the rainy day fund. So the bottom line is that in the 7 ½ years since the recession, Kentucky has seized control of her future, and we have tremendous momentum.”
~Steve Beshear

“Matt Bevin, this other guy, wants to take our state back to the 19th century. Under Matt Bevin, the state's signature industry would change from horse racing to cockfighting.”
~Steve Beshear

“Or about how he thinks paying his taxes are optional?”
~Steve Beshear

“Now, I can talk about how getting a pedicure instead of prosecuting criminals is really not a good idea. But I think somebody else is going to talk about that.”
~Steve Beshear

“What I can talk about, is how the Republican Party is trying to put one over on Kentuckians. Folks, they are taking a candidate—Matt Bevin—who a year ago, they themselves called an “east coast con man” and a “pathological liar”, and all at once now, they're telling us, that he's been rehabilitated, and he is worthy of being Governor. But let me tell you something, I believe in recycling as much as anybody, but that is ridiculous. And you know, Senator McConnell knows it too. He mentioned his name twice in his whole remarks. Once in the beginning, and once at the end. I don't think he's any more for him than I am.”
~Steve Beshear

“[Matt Bevin] opposes programs for childhood development. He's against tough curriculum in our classrooms. He wants to take healthcare away from 500,000 Kentuckian the very first day he walks into office. And he wants to destroy an economic development program that's create 10s of thousands of Kentucky's jobs. Those aren't my words, those are Matt Bevin's words.”
~Steve Beshear

“It's nice to see Matt Bevin up here. Normally he's got to go to a cockfighting rally in order to get a crowd this big.”
~Jack Conway

“Matt Bevin isn't from Kentucky... Matt's from New Hampshire. He says he got to Kentucky as fast as he could. Heck, I'd be running too, if all I had were tax delinquencies and bailed out businesses from where I came from.”
~Jack Conway

“Boy, the Kentucky Republicans were glad to see him. They called him an “east coast con man”. They called him a “pathological liar”. They said if Matt Bevin became Governor, his only agenda would be the commissioning of his own portrait.”
~Jack Conway

“Matt Bevin thinks that early childhood education serves no purpose, and he wants to drain funds from our public schools. That's not Kentucky.”
~Jack Conway

“Matt Bevin would kick almost a half million Kentuckians, your friends, your family, your neighbors, off of health insurance, and he has no plan to replace it. And he says, if you don't like it, you can pack up and move. That's not Kentucky. He's against raising the minimum wage, and giving hard working Kentuckians a raise. That's not Kentucky.”
~Jack Conway

“Boring! Boring!”
~Republican assholes in crowd at Fancy Farm to Jack Conway

“Who can you trust?”
~Jack Conway

“God Bless Kentucky!”
~Jack Conway

“Thank you Donald Trump and Matt Bevin. Donald Trump and Matt Bevin actually have a lot in common. Neither one will ever win elected office.”
~Alison Grimes

“Last year, as we all know, Mitch called Matt Bevin, “bailout Bevin”, and an “east coast con man”. You see, Mitch and I actually agree on some things. Republicans will do anything and say anything in order to get elected.”
~Alison Grimes

“Their theme is “We are Kentucky”. How is that even possible? Matt Bevin is from New Hampshire and his running mate is from Michigan.”
~Alison Grimes

Matt Bevin

“I pledge allegiance, to the flag, to the United States of America, to the Republic, for which it stands, under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
~Matt Bevin

“This is just a piece of cloth. It's just 3 simple colors... It reprsents great sacrifice. It embodies...
land of the free and the home of the brave.”

“If you look at our Kentucky state motto, what it says is, “United We Stand, Divided We Fall.” When we are divided, we are falling, and yet we proved, just a moment ago, that we can save ourselves from falling. We can be united and I challenge you, that you can boo at you want, and that doesn't solve us that things that we are faced with in this country.”
~Matt Bevin

“The one thing that discourages me, however, about his process, that we are literally celebrating the very worst elements of the political process. We are celebrating our divisions, and we're doing it in a childish way that frankly doesn't resolve any of the issues we face. I want to challenge everyone of you, I want to challenge everyone of you here, on this side and on this side, rise with me, stand with me, and join with me in saying the pledge to the flag of this country.”
~Matt Bevin

“This race for Governor is bigger than that. This is about all of us and the reason it is about all of us, we are Kentucky. We are all Kentucky. Despite the division, we are Kentucky. East, west, rural, urban, black, white, young, old, rich and poor, Democrat, Republican, and Independent alike. This is our home. This affects every single man, woman, and child in our state.”
~Matt Bevin

Richard Heath

“I'd also like to take just a moment to recognize our veterans, if you're a veteran, please stand... Thank you for being here today, thank you for your service to our country, and to please stand on guard, it looks like we're going to fight for our religious freedom all over again. You know, it doesn't matter what kind of laws we pass in Frankfort. It doesn't matter what kind of laws we pass in Washington DC. It doesn't matter what the Supreme Court says about them, God's law, trumps them all. Y'all have a good day.”
~Richard Heath

“She's gone half the time. She spent half of the time running for the US Senate.”
~Stephen Knipper

Alison has got this one in the bag.

“I'm somewhat of an anomaly. I'm a Black conservative. So you just have to judge me based on the content of my character, my experience, and my qualifications. How about that? First, let me say, I'm a Christian. I'm a wife. My husband Doyle is here. Retired Air Force Colonel Doyle Isaac.”
~Janean Hampton


“I rose from the wreckage of the inner city by embracing the spirit of liberty. And by rejecting the negative voices that I was a victim and that I was helpless.”
~Janean Hampton

“I concluded at a very early age, that the Constitution applied to me and that I had all of the individual rights that that document talked about, and that I could pursue happiness as I defined it.”
~Janean Hampton

“Kentucky, we're better than this. We can be so much better than what we are, but we have got to elect the right people.”
~Janean Hampton

“This is my home. As well as my mother's.”
~Janean Hampton

“Let me tell you, it is disingenuous to say we have a budget surplus when the rest of the balance sheet doesn't look good. That's like having a $1,000 in the bank, and you owe a million dollars on your credit card.”
~Janean Hampton

“We are Kentucky! We are Kentucky! We are Kentucky!”
~Janean Hampton

Ryan Quarles

“I am the only UK Wildcat in this race.”
~Ryan Quarles

"Kentucky deserves a commissioner with a real farm background. My background was no different than countless farm kids across Kentucky."
~Ryan Quarles

“And I even shoveled cow manure, which served me well, for Frankfort politics.”
~Ryan Quarles

“I will continue have the courage to stand up to Obama liberals in both in Washington and in Frankfort.”
~Ryan Quarles

“Last December, I was proud to kickoff my campaign at a successful John Deere dealership.”
~Ryan Quarles

I've got the experience. I've got the worn out farm boots. Elect a farm boy as Ag Commissioner. I'm field-ready and farm-tested.”
~Ryan Quarles

“It's great to be back at Fancy Farm, where the line for the BBQ is as long as Matt Bevin's nose.”
~Sannie Overly

“In all of my time in Kentucky, I'd never seen anything quite like that last Republican primary for Governor, 3 qualified Kentucky candidates with long histories in their community, and they went with Matt Bevin! A guy whose not even from Kentucky. He's wrong for Kentucky, and he's lied to Kentucky.”
~Sannie Overly

“Think about all of the things Matt Bevin can teach us. He's sure got a lot of tricks up his sleeve. He can tell you how to evade taxes in 5 states.”
~Sannie Overly

“Here in Kentucky, we believe... It's time to raise our minimum wage.”
~Sannie Overly

“He doesn't know, that here in Kentucky, we don't throw a half a million of our neighbors off of healthcare next year for something that may happen in 6 years. Now don't get me wrong, on our farm, we welcome guests with open arms even if they are from New Hampshire.But we don't let the fox in the hen house, and we don't need Matt Bevin in the Governor's house.”
~Sannie Overly

“[Matt Bevin] lies like a dog on the porch.”
~Sannie Overly

“God bless Kentucky.”
~Sannie Overly

“We visit our best farm families in the state [...] we listen to ag business people. We relocate the Department Agricultural Department right here in the heart of western Kentucky. Western Kentucky is the heart of agriculture, and there's not any better people in the State of Kentucky than right here in western Kentucky.”
~James Comer


Jean Marie Lawson-Spann

“A choice between this 8th generation Kentucky farm woman who has spent more than 20 years of building relationships to grow Kentucky agriculture or my opponent, a young fella, who has recently started magically sprouting gray hair from that barely 30 year old head. An Ivy league lawyer who boasts that he holds 6 college degrees, and he's partisan insider.”
~Jean Marie Lawson-Spann

“This fella has spent so much time getting degrees that he doesn't know what he doesn't know.”
~Jean Marie Lawson-Spann

“My name is Jean-Marie Lawson Spann. I'm Kentucky born, Kentucky educated, and Kentucky proud.”
~Jean Marie Lawson-Spann

Jean-Marie Lawson Spann is absolutely adorable. I hope she didn't cry after that Republican bastards made such asses of themselves at Fancy Farm.

Andy Beshear 

“That was when I realized that if I didn't run — and win — we're all screwed.”
~Drew Curtis

“Voters usually just pay attention to political campaigns in the last 3 weeks.”
~Drew Curtis

How do you feel about medical marijuana?

“Totally in favor of it.”
~Drew Curtis


“There's a little girl at my daughter's school who needs it, not the synthetic version that's available, but the other version.”
~Drew Curtis

“The science behind it is sound, and that's all I need to know.”
~Drew Curtis

Are you in favor of recreational marijuana?

“If this legislature passes a copy of Colorado along with something that backs people out of drug offenses because they forgot that in Colorado, and a copy of tweaks, I would sign it. I don't think they're going to send that one, but that is something that makes economic sense. Several states have already proven it as this point, and in fact, it's my believe that it's going to be legal in 100% of the states, and if we jump on that early, there will be a Billion dollar Budweiser of pot showing up somewhere, and that would be great if it was here. But I'm not going to shove real hard for that, but that might be something a Republican Senate couldn't manage to pass through. But if they did, it's definitely something I would take a look at it.”
~Drew Curtis

“The woman who celebrates love is not rare. However, her error is when she is so in tune to her passion she neglects to address true issues—thus neglecting their object. She loves the attention more than the beloved.”

~Helene Haluschka

Books Read By Anne Frank

2 outta 5 Kyians can't read, according to a 1999 Paul Patton Task Force commission report. “44% of Kentuckians struggle with minimal literacy skills, and 37% of the Kentuckians age 25 and older do not have a high school diploma.” http://www.lrc.ky.gov/lrcpubs/rr296.pdf But hey, Kentucky, don't lose heart. Just look at the good side. If 44% of Kentuckians CAN'T read, then that means that 56% of Kentuckians CAN read, so let's look at the positive side. Here's Wendy, a Kentuckian, from Letcher County, who I met the other day:  Many Kentuckians, especially the backwards, racist, and illiterate, love to fuck up their words as bad as they possibly can. “Taters” isn't only stupid... it's childish. Plus, potatoes aren't that great.

100 Greatest Works Humanity Has Ever Made

A Great Books Canon “To ignore the leaps and bounds we've advanced in the fields of technology and science is to forever play patty-cake to the cavepeople of yesteryear.” Podcast Explanation for the first few Great Books of the Freedom Skool: http://youtu.be/7jD_v4ji1kU This is the Freedom Skool's 2015 list of the 100 Greatest Works Humanity Has Ever Made in the order of most important to least. Books are too limiting in their scope for what ideas can cloud the brain, and folks from all over the world, yesterday, today, men, women, atheist, spiritual, white, black, straight, gay, transvestite, have all helped in the collaboration in the making of this list. Out of the great pool of ideas, the best ideas should prevail. Thus, the 100 greatest works ever are nothing more than the 100 greatest ideas ever constructed. For all intensive and respectful purposes, consider this my own personal 100 “great books” list. For all kinds of culture, things which please the eyes, su
