ONE OF the reasons I traveled to Amsterdam in the early ’90s was to interview legal prostitutes, as I continued my Vincent Van Gogh pilgrimage throughout my trip, which began in France. The legal soft-drug bars were simply a bonus. It’s where the girls I interviewed met me. Amsterdam perfected the soft-drug bar a long [...]

President Obama’s “Whining” Statement Attached to Signing NDAA 2013 [Video]
OSAMA bin Laden is dead, but politicians continue to allow the blood thirsty terrorist to strangle our democratic republic from the grave. President Obama signing the NDAA, which codifies indefinite detention into the American fabric, is a capitulation to the right and all that’s unholy about the “war on terror,” which now a Democratic president [...]
Ron Paul Says a Long Farewell to Congress [Video]
6890 words. That’s the total my “Word Count” shows for Ron Paul’s address to Congress upon his leaving office. He still has a few more weeks, but as he began his farewell earlier this month, “This may well be the last time I speak on the House Floor.” You can see the full transcript here. [...]
Will Petraeus-gate Wake Up America on Homeland Insecurity Privacy Invasion?
THE QUESTION in all this is whether having an elite establishment player sucked into the turbine of America’s massive anti privacy establishment will result in any light dawning on how our country has changed and just how depleted our civil liberties are today. As far as I can tell it will not. Tom Ricks offered [...]

Top Story: Obama’s Winnings and the Unreasonable Liberal
“If you want to pull the party, the major party that is closest to the way you’re thinking to what you’re thinking, you must, you must show them that you’re capable of not voting for them. If you don’t show them you’re capable of not voting for them they don’t have to listen to you, [...]

THE LIBERTARIAN candidate is hitting President Obama on an issue liberals take on regularly Buzzfeed: Gary Johnson has reoriented his campaign around a key and little-discussed national security issue: Drones.

He’s Back and Appearing in 7 Battleground States
THE AD was shown for the first time on “Morning Joe” today. From the Caucus blog: Mr. Eastwood, in an e-mailed statement, explained his motives. “I did the ad because I’m concerned for our country,” he said. “I really believe Mitt Romney is the kind of leader we need right now.

News Desk: Jill Stein, Green Party, Makes Virginia Ballot, Along with Gary Johnson
Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson and Green Party nominee Jill Stein also made the ballot, the board ruled Tuesday. [Washington Post] THIS IS another great step for Jill Stein, the only female running for president in 2012, and her Green Party.

Romney In Shambles
IT’S THE TWITTER hashtag, #romneyinshambles, and it’s been trending for 24 hours. It’s the biggest legacy from Romney’s foreign policy gaffe tour. Jimmy Fallon, my fave, starts off the National Journal’s round-up of Romney jokes last night. Mentioning a town hall setting that will be part of the presidential campaign, he says one of the [...]
As Pressure Mounts, Romney’s Tax Issue Pushes Campaign Into Desperation Mode
WHILE REPUBLICANS POUND on Mitt Romney to release his taxes, his campaign sees a moment to go harshly negative, with John Sununu’s surrogacy emblematic of the birtherism crowd that challenges Pres. Obama’s Americanism. After saying, “And I wish this president would learn how to be an American,” Sununu was forced to apologize; with the full [...]
Liberalism Brings Happiness in Massachusetts

Gary Johnson Finally Gets a Headline, But What About the Only Female Running for President?
Those numbers will eventually fall back to earth, Jensen predicted: “I’m just relying on history on that front — unless a third-party candidate’s really well-funded and getting visibility similar to the others that they’re facing [they fade]. Most of these people who are saying they’re voting for Gary Johnson right now will end up voting [...]
Rand Paul Is Not Libertarian, He’s Not Even Conservative
“FETAL PERSONHOOD” being considered over a woman’s own personal freedom is not a libertarian idea. It’s not even a conservative idea. In fact, when women like myself say Do Not Tread On Me, it may be a civil rights and privacy notion, but it also used to be a conservative one as well. What is [...]
War on Women, Military Edition
MILITARY WOMEN haven’t had the same rights as civilian females when it comes to reproductive health care for decades. Unbelievably, only if the life of the woman is at stake is abortion currently covered through Department of Defense policy. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen has a bill that will alter this injustice, which is backed by very [...]
