A very depressing piece reports some very uncomfortable news. The Mexican drug cartels (whose murder victims south of the border run into the tens of thousands) are now here in the United States, and they are winning. We do already have these [cartels] in the United States, but you just don’t hear about them very…

My favorite Lesbian Conservative Cynthia Yockey is at it again. (you might like to review my recent post about Cynthia: The Keys To The Next Election) She explains why gay equality will come from the Right. But first she lays into the pretensions of a vast swath of social conservatism. I will point out to…

Damn! Sunday is almost over and I never had time to write a damn thing. I hate it when that happens. I did see a New York Times piece titled “What if the Secret to Success Is Failure?” and it is not a new topi here. (“…if the goal is to prevent success, first we…

I recently posted some videos about marijuana as medicine. I got some criticism saying that the usefulness of marijuana for so many conditions was unbelievable. I will do some more posting including some articles that I haven’t yet cross posted here. But I thought it might be worthwhile to do a links mostly post to…

Drug addiction is a medical problem. If the Coast Guard can fix it I propose we put them in charge of cancer. If the police can fix it I propose we put them in charge of heart disease. If the politicians can fix it I propose we put them in charge of everything. Oh? Wait.…

From Jesus Saves. Moses invests. Aleister Crowley changes the world. Led Zeppelin is Satanic to the core. In the song “Houses of the Holy,” Robert Plant (lead singer) speaks of Satan’s daughter and making her garden grow (a sexual reference). The album cover displays naked women crawling towards the top of the temple. It’s sickening…

A common complaint I hear about public education is the huge amount of money spent per child versus the incredibly poor quality of the education they receive. Kids are routinely allowed to “graduate” (I guess they still use that term) without basic reading or math skills. Fortunately, those who are motivated to better themselves still…

I can’t remember who sent me this quote, but here it is: “Americanism means the virtues of courage, honor, justice, truth, sincerity, and hardihood—the virtues that made America. The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living and the get-rich-quick theory of life.” Too late. The…

Stories like this make me miss Philadelphia: A pair of lesbian lovers have admitted to burglarizing 29 homes but passed up one house where they encountered a lion, police said. Harley Rose Gifford and Britney Singleton, both 19 and from the 7100 block of Marshall Road, in Upper Darby have been arrested, according to police…

Zero Hedge is discussing the latest news in the ongoing financial meltdown. Which prompted a couple of comments (among many others). how does this compare to the Lehman shit fest of ’08? And the reply: Were gonna need a bigger fan. I have nothing to add. Cross Posted at Power and Control

The physiological link between sexual abuse and drug use has tentatively been found. It has long been widely accepted that early childhood sexual abuse can predispose an individual to later substance abuse. But how? Now, a new study combining brain imaging with information gathered from a questionnaire assessing symptoms of subjective distress and discomfort provides…

It appears that Dr. Oz has gotten a few facts about apple juice wrong (or at least incomplete). Arsenic in apple juice! Fed to babies! And it probably came from China! Television’s Dr. Mehmet Oz is under fire from the FDA and others for sounding what they say is a false alarm about the dangers…

Jimmy Carter has a few kind words for Mitt Romney. On former Massachusetts Gov. Romney, the former Democratic president said he would like to see Romney win the Republican presidential nomination. “I’m not taking a position, but I would be very pleased to see him win the Republican nomination,” Carter said on an interview on…

But according to our Congress marijuana has NO valid medical uses. We do have the smartest Congress money can buy. kurogroves.com Run From The Cure – video.

I am not enamored with the current crop of Republican candidates, but this post isn’t about my opinion of the candidates. Rather, I want to take a stab at explaining why so many right-of-center young people like Ron Paul. First and most obvious, they agree with him. But merely agreeing with a candidate’s position on…

Cynthia Yockey has some thoughts on why Obama will win the election in 2012. Last week Allan Lichtman, a professor at American University, renewed his 2010 prediction that Obama will win in 2012. Prof. Lichtman developed a system of 13 keys to winning the presidential election in 1981 that has correctly predicted the winner of…
