Is the War on Drugs Starting to go too far.

Is the War on Drugs starting to go too far. Watch the video below, now this is pretty disturbing so a word of warning before you watch it;

Freedom Watch Video, Drug Bust Gone Awry,

The Crimanal Loving Anonymous Poster.

This entire post is dedicated thanks to an Anonymous Poster who said this, "You idiot......you're so shallow minded. What you post in response to me....is such a stupid unintelligent discussion" In response to my post Parole What is it Good For?

Parole What is it Good For?

For a few years now we have all seen in the news several reports and stories of men and women who have been paroled, clemency, or earned "time off for good behavior" who subsequently committed a serious crime, murder, rape, pedophilia, or some other serious crime.

Well what brings this subject, for me anyway, to the forefront is the series Unsolved Mysteries. It seems that ever episode I watch at least one criminal on there has gotten parole or was paroled only after a few years served, but the one that really did it for me this time is the case of  James Donald King.

Rush Limbaugh to get his own Comic Book.

Rush Limbaugh's life is to be immortalize in comic book fashion by Bluewater's biography comics.
Bluewater President Darren Davis said the stories are not "puff pieces or hatchet jobs," but strive for balance.

We will see, until then read more here, It's a Bird, It's a Plane... It's Rush Limbaugh?

Feds May Raise Driving Age for Teens

The ever encroaching power of the federal government is now reaching for the driving age for teens or more accurately what the States may set as the minimum driving age for a learner’s permit and a standard drivers license.

So why is this important? Because States like New York and New Jersey have a problem with States like Nebraska, Idaho, Iowa, and Kansas which allows a teen driver to get a learner’s permit at 14, these rural states due to the fact kids learn to drive at 12-13 on the farm have decided their residents are capable of getting a learner’s at that younger age. But States like New Jersey want the federal government to force their rules on these other states, so why is this important its in the same field as taxes if New Jersey can get the federal government to force Georgia to raise the age for a learner’s permit and a standard drivers license what would stop them from going back to that same federal government if to many New Jersey residents are moving to Georgia due to their high taxes to force Georgia to raise their taxes to match New Jerseys in fairness.

Defending Capitalism: Flea Markets

Defending Capitalism: Flea Markets

We all know them, Flea Markets, whether its clean, dusty, outdoors, indoors, or a combination of those. Well yesterday while doing some work someone I know, who is a retired union worker this will be important a little latter, said that only Flea Brains go to Flea Markets, of course this wasn't just some jest he was serious. My response "Why? Flea Markets are the perfect example of why capitalism works, you take your goods there if someone wants them they well buy them or negotiate over the price until both sides are happy." he really didn't have much to say after that. But I wanted to continue the defense of Flea Markets here.
