Oxycontin Junkie Fights Marijuana Legalization

Patrick Kennedy Stands Up AGAINST Marijuana Legalization Movement... the putz!
-
(Reuters) - Retired Rhode Island Congressman Patrick Kennedy is taking aim at what he sees as knee-jerk support for marijuana legalization among his fellow liberals, in a project that carries special meaning for the self-confessed former Oxycontin addict.This drug addict attacks AJ after his segment on Pier's show, his speech was slurred and it seemed he was on drugs, despite pushing a book talking about dealing with addiction. If he's not taking oxy again, he is probably doped up on legal methadone or just plain old booze. - Chris |
White House weighs broad gun-control agenda in wake of Newtown shootings
posted 01/07/2013, 12:37 AM (Washington Post) [Category: Politics/Corruption] The White House is weighing a far broader and more comprehensive approach to curbing the nation’s gun violence than simply reinstating an expired ban on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition, according to multiple people involved in the administration’s discussions.
A working group led by Vice President Biden is seriously considering measures backed by key law enforcement leaders that would require universal background checks for firearm buyers, track the movement and sale ... (more) |

Fiscal-Cliff Antics
posted 01/03/2013, 12:17 AM (Jacob G. Hornberger) [Category: Politics/Corruption] The fiscal-cliff deal shouldn’t surprise anyone. A sufficient number of Republicans caved, enabling President Obama to bask in the glory of causing Republicans to vote for a massive tax increase.
What did the Republicans get in return with respect to federal spending?
Not one darned thing. On the contrary, they agreed that the “cuts” in federal spending that were going to go into effect as part of the “fiscal cliff” would be suspended for at least the next two month... (more) |

Government: All Costs, No Benefits
posted 11/27/2012, 2:01 AM (Will Grigg) [Category: Politics/Corruption] While thousands of his constituents left homeless by Hurricane Sandy were still suffering in the cold, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie found time to make a self-aggrandizing appearance on the Saturday Night Live program. He then informed New Jersey residents that taxes would have to be increased in order to pay for reconstruction efforts that have yet to begin.
As if this weren’t sufficiently aggravating, some residents of New Jersey’s Seaside Heights who saw their homes ra... (more) |

US battles Iraq and Afghanistan over detention without charges
posted 11/20/2012, 9:11 PM (Glenn Greenwald) [Category: Politics/Corruption] For several decades, the US government - in annual "human rights" reports issued by the State Department (reports mandated by the US Congress) - has formally condemned nations around the globe for the practice of indefinite detention: imprisoning people without charges or any fixed sentence. These reports, said Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in her preface to last year's document, are grounded in the principle that "respect for human rights is not a western construct or a uniquely Americ...

NYPD Cops Caught Making Deals at Gas Station?
posted 11/13/2012, 8:10 AM (YouTube) [Category: Politics/Corruption]
At a BP (British Petroleum) gas station in Queens I noticed a group of NYPD cops had organized a scheme to allow fellow conspirators to bypass a 4 hour wait to buy gas during an artificial fuel shortage. I observed one officer use his flash light to signal waiting cars across the street to pull in as he looked around to see if anyone was on to him.
Little did these "officers of the law" ... (more) This is total speculation, though it's an entertaining video nonetheless, his political analysis is spot on. Regardless, the idea that government workers would get special lines in itself is absurd, they have no more right to the gas than anyone else, if anything they have less of a right to it as they're not spending their own money but tax money stolen from productive citizens. - Chris, InfoLib |

Chris Christie Is a Hardcore Statist Control Freak
posted 11/05/2012, 5:19 AM (James Ostrowski) [Category: Politics/Corruption] Character is best revealed in times of stress. The storm has revealed New Jersey Governor Chris Christie to be a mean, nasty, statist, control freak. His latest stunt is persecution of business owners who had the temerity to charge the prices they felt like charging for the goods they own. He calls this "price gouging," an imaginary crime that cannot be rationally defined. Christie is aggressively cracking dow... (more) |

Behind the Scenes: Mitt Romney speaks about Mormon faith
posted 11/02/2012, 5:04 AM (InformationLiberation) [Category: Politics/Corruption]
This is an interesting clip of Romney acting like an actual human-being arguing with a radio host during a break about his Mormonism. It doesn't seem like he's fully aware he is being recorded, regardless he actually talks about his Mormon beliefs, which is a big "no-no," in that a politician expressing anything but the most popular "acceptable" politically correct views is political suicide (this is ...

Washington Post: Yes, We Need To Give Up Liberty For Security
posted 10/30/2012, 12:09 AM (Techdirt) [Category: Politics/Corruption]
By now you've probably seen the paraphrase of a Ben Franklin quote that those who give up liberty for security, deserve neither (he said similar things a few different ways, but the standard actual quote is: "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.") Whatever the actual quote is, there is quite a lot of truth to it. Giving up liberty for the sake of security rarely works out as planned. Either way, it appears that th... (more) |
