According to the Jonesboro Police police, that's what happened to 21-year-old Chavis Carter, who was arrested with a small amount of marijuana.

The "rulers" actually don't matter. They are vastly outnumbered by the people like you and me. The problem is those who legitimate the "rulers" with their votes, remaining silent when the "rulers" commit evils in their names.
Most of them do not feel bad about that. Many of them even cheer and applaud to their "rulers" and they defend the crimes they co... (more)

Government Is Shrinking?
posted 08/01/2012, 10:05 PM (Jeffrey Tucker) [Category: Economy] In today's political climate, the more implausible the claim, the more likely it is to stick. One that seems to be sticking now is that government today is small by historical standards and constantly shrinking.
Run that one by the man on the street — looted by the tax man, harassed by police, hounded by regulators — and he will scoff. Now comes the highbrow journalist with a nuanced view to correct him, citing all kinds of complex data.
Own Guns, So that I Don't Have To
posted 08/01/2012, 10:05 PM (Jeffrey Tucker) [Category: Commentary] While attending the Agora Financial Symposium in Vancouver, I became aware that Americans enjoy some rights that Canadians do not: among them, the limited ability to carry weapons. Even private security guards seem unable to be armed in Canada.This does not make me feel safer. Quite the reverse.
Private people who carry guns make me feel safer.
So I would like to make a plea to my fellow citizens: please buy, carry, and even stockpile weapons. Carry them with you al... (more)

posted 08/01/2012, 9:55 PM (Americans for Tax Reform) [Category: Economy] WASHINGTON, D.C. — While 529 hardworking athletes proudly represent the United States in the 2012 Olympics, any medals and money they earn wearing red, white and blue will be taxed by the IRS.

Socialism for Texas Farmers
posted 08/01/2012, 9:55 PM (Jacob G. Hornberger) [Category: Economy] Texas farmers are suffering severe drought conditions. Thus, it should come as no surprise that Congress has decided to help them out with U.S. taxpayer dollars to the tune of around $600 million.

It’s just another reflection of the socialist, paternalist, welfare-state mindset that pervades both political parties.
It wasn’t always that way, of course. Americans once l... (more)
