Scott Rothschild: "New districts, photo ID, GOP warfare await voters" @ Lawrence Journal World
[Excerpt]
When Kansans vote Tuesday they will deal with different districts, a new requirement to provide photo identification and the smoke from Republican Party warfare.
Officials are predicting a low turnout at the polls, which will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
In the Republican Party primary, Gov. Sam Brownback, the Kansas Chamber of Commerce, the billionaire Koch brothers, and Kansans for Life have been working to defeat a group of Republican senators who they say have been obstacles to their agenda. ...

Editorial: "Cow Pokes, Unite!" by Michael Caddell
Below an edited version of a comment posted 01 August 2012, at the Wichita Eagle web site to “Why pick on Cowtown?” by Phillip Brownlee, who writes for the Editorial Board. It was inexplicably censored by the evening of the same day and remains so.
The same “comment” was reprinted by two world class web sites headlined, “Bible Belt Report: Culled, Kept Pols Picking on Cowpokes' Museum” at This Can’t Be Happening, and “How the Koch Bros. Bought Kansas” at Counterpunch.
“Poverty is the parent of Revolution and Crime.” - Aristotle
One of four Wichita museums are to suffer a $100,000 cutback in funding which may force closure. It is called “Cowtown” a tribute to the glory days of white settler expansion and cattle. A distant cry is heard from the editorial board of the city’s single daily newspaper, the Wichita Eagle, with the recent piece by Peter Brownlee, “Why pick on Cowtown?”
The money cut from the museum is less than that used this election cycle as seed money by the Koch billionaires to the state Chamber of Commerce in legally buying the state government.
Those little $500 to $1000 checks to Kansas lawmakers’ campaigns, tossed to PACs and lobbyists, sown each year as brome seed across the tiny Topeka state house, make a better “deal.”.
A common thought among many Kansans, after 50 years, if the museum cannot “make a profit” - the motivation for human culture and history according to many today - then the Cowtown museum must close, history be damned.
A substantial number of elites in Wichita would prefer all to forget the old “wild west” days, better to keep fluoride out of the water, and as many legally armed as possible against each other. Better to keep Wichita’s teeming humanity befuddled, as a herd.. Easier to ride as Roustabout, pointing the state politicians’ noses toward the limitless horizon of individual wealth each election year.
No, the Cowtown museum must go, lest the Wichita majority of “minorities” learn of the early days of democratic “mob justice” and the elites’ ancestral days when whore houses, cattle herds, railroad spurs, whiskey rivers and gunplay was normal.
The public relation firms have determined contemporary Wichita fares better in the “profit at all cost” as a white middle class Jesus armed with an assault rifle proclaiming control over the “free markets.” Kansans of the herd mentality are best dull witted and ignorant of ethereal matters like off shore tax havens, armies of tax shelter lawyers, tax deductible political “charities” and secretive annual government oil subsidy checks.
Whatever political Roustabout leads Kansans matter not to the 1% so long as their Judas goat leads reliably from prairie to the fattening feedlot, ever onward to the environmental slaughter house.
I'd say the "profit at all cost" crowd is dispensing a particular cultural message, favoring the sound of the bullwhip crack over the taxpayers to spoiling them with universal health care, food stamps or art filled niceties like the Cowtown museum.
It is fashionable today among the Big Thinkers in Wichita and Topeka, Kansas to not spoil the herd, but drive them quickly to “market.”
The deficit at the Cowtown museum pales in comparison to the figure of tens of millions donated by David Koch to build a wing at the distant New York Metropolitan Museum of Art. I surmise the family has tens of thousands of acres sublet from the Flint Hills south to Texas in case the herds of Kansas humanity stampede.

Correction: Number of U. S. population served in armed services during WWII
The number cited of U. S. citizens serving in World War Two during the August 2, 2012 LeRoy Show was incorrect.
The attributed number who served is 16,596,639 based on U. S. government data.
Estimates for number of people killed during the war vary from 64 - 85 million deaths worldwide. The majority were civilians and the total number of people killed based on a country by country tabulation equals 2.5 % of the 1939 world population.

Professor Edward Flentje: "A Referendum on Brownback" @ Winfield Daily Courier
[Excerpt] Reporters from Reuters, the New York Times and the Wall
Street Journal descended on Kansas in the last few weeks to cover a
political contest they view to be of national significance, that is, a
battle for the heart and soul of the Republican Party in the reddest of
red states.
Never in state history has a sitting Kansas governor led a public campaign to oust legislators of his own party. In doing so, Gov. Sam Brownback is making the Republican primary on Aug. 7 a referendum on his governorship.
Brownback is asking Republican primary voters in a number of legislative races across the state to side with a slate of candidates composed by him and his allies against incumbent legislators. These targeted legislators view themselves as “traditional” Republicans in the lineage of Kansas icons such as Alf Landon, Dwight Eisenhower and Bob Dole, and former Republican governors; and they believe government has a more affirmative role in assuring a high quality of life for Kansans.
An understanding of what is at stake in the election requires a look at those who have energized Brownback’s rise to power and what they have in store for Kansas.
