Obama, Afghanistan and Marijuana

This article guides the reader to resources on the Afghan conflict that CNN, FOX etc. aren't telling the "sheep" (e.g. the American People). It argues for immediate withdrawal and explains how Marijuana Legalization would actually help destroy the heroin market which funds both covert US Military operations as well as Islamic Terrorism.

I remember my mother talking about Vietnam and how she didnt really think about it much until a high school senior she knew died.

Working outside of two military training bases I knew that it would eventually hit close to home.

Yesterday a soldier was on a search mission, kicked in a door and was shot and killed. He was very close to my co-worker and my buddy is pretty torn up. No children, survived by his wife and parents. A stand up guy...

Im sick and fucking tired of this pointless, useless, wealth and youth draining war. HOW DO WE WIN???

Fedor,

I must apologize for all of my comments on your post. I have not been in a very good mood since my conversations with a young Marine. I truly meant no harm. I know you must have experienced the same as I have.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Suspected swine flu is sweeping a traditional Eskimo whaling village on a remote Alaska island - prompting an urgent medical mission to deliver help.

"Diomede is probably the most isolated place in the United States right now," said David Head, a doctor involved in the effort. "We thought it would be better to go out there and just vaccinate peopple".

Out all day, hoping to come on tonight and see clips from Rand's health care forum today at Valley High School. Really want to see how his ideas play. More than his Dad, I'm betting his career as an eye surgeon will give him healthcare policy gravitas just as the issue is front and center.

Vids somebody? Not on You-Tube, or anywhere else I looked.

Ron Paul will be in South Carolina this Monday, November 9th to deliver a lecture entitled The Politics of Tolerance, at the University of South Carolina at 7:00pm in Carolina Coliseum.

The lecture will focus on the importance of civility and tolerance in politics and everyday life, the future of individual liberty, and the importance of the Constitution.

The event is organized by Young Americans for Liberty, the University of South Carolina Honors College, and the Carolina Debate Union, and is generously sponsored by Midas Resources. Admission is free and all are welcome.

Four days later on Friday, November 13th Ron Paul will return to Iowa in another YAL sponsored event.

Live webcasts are in the works - stay tuned for more information. These should be great events.

I hear a lot about term limits. People of all stripes are vehement about the subject whenever it comes up. I know of a few organizations that won't endorse a candidate unless she signs an oath swearing to introduce term limit legislation in whatever office she's running for. It's a very attractive idea, and I'm not necessarily opposed to it. I understand what it's like to have an incumbent virtually own the rights to a seat. My own representative, Rob Andrews (D-NJ), is in his tenth consecutive term.

Wow.....I have a lot to say...and I do not want to bore you....but this is very important.

First off....as you all probably know I own an Electronics store here in Portland Oregon. We are doing pretty good considering......but I am witnessing first hand all kinds of things happening very fast.

Secondly......several of our big companies that we buy product from....just laid off 30% of their work force. These are some of the biggest electronic companies in the United States. Very Sad.

Next......I have been talking with several Realtor, and Mortgage company owners over the last week, (Heavy Players in the Portland Market) and they are all talking about the doom and gloom in the commercial real estate market that is coming. This is going to be way bigger than the housing collapse.

Myself....I eat lunch at a little Deli about 1 mile from my store. The Deli is in a strip mall that has about 20 stores. Well 85% are empty...and I just learned from the deli owner that the strip mall is going back to the bank next week because the owner can't make his $42,000 a month payment. Ouch.

Next.....I bank at a very good credit union.....about 1 mile from my store. They just moved out of the strip mall that they were in...into a new free standing building. The strip mall that they were in has 10 stores. Well.....now it only has 1 out of 10 rented. It is so sad to see what is going on.

The Chrysler Dealerships near us.....GONE.....

Burger King across the street.....gone..

KFC...gone....

Flea Markets and Check cashing places opening up....

It is a very different world....

On and On and On....

I could keep going.........

The only Positive thing in this entire Chaos is if you have cash....you are King.

We are buying items for our store at 30% to 80% off...and we are able to pass that savings on to the customer which is making us as busy as can be....

Tell me what is going on in your neck of the woods....

Remember 9/11 — Part One

by Hsing Lee

September 11, 2001 was a day none of us will ever forget. I woke up to an early morning phone call. My friend was screaming for me to turn on BBC News.

The BBC Newsman asked a man dressed in a suit and tie, a man who looked and sounded as if he had an education, if he thought the events at the WTC could be the result of US Foreign Policy in the Middle East.

I'll never forget what this man on the streets of New York said.

"What does flying airplanes into buildings have to do with politics?"
