Campaign For Liberty & The War on Drugs Is a War on You...
Rated • 21 reviews • drugs, law, liberties, politics • campaignforliberty.com
"The drug war is based on a repugnant assertion: that you do not have ownership over your own body; that you don't have the right to decide what you'll do with your body, with your property and with your life. The position of the drug warriors is that you should be in jail if you decide to do something with your body that they don't approve of.
People will always do plenty of things that are bad for them, and there's no reason to put them in prison for it. Think about all the things that you do which are bad for your own health and well being -- should the government outlaw those too?
People eat too much fast food and they forget to floss every day. They watch too much TV and they don't count their calories. They stay up too late and they spend too much. And, guess what else? People swallow, snort, shoot and smoke drugs that are both legal and illegal -- and it's not going to stop. A free society just wouldn't force you, under the threat of punishment, to be "good" to yourself all the time. That was the job of your parents -- unless, of course, you want the feds to be your new "daddy."
Every day that the war on drugs continues is another day of injustice; another day of spending countless billions to lock people up that don't behave the way the bureaucrats want them to behave.
It's time to bring this multi-billion dollar attack on your liberty to an end"
Thank you Dr. Duke.

Rep. Barney Frank: Obamas Choice Of Warren Is Very...
Rated • 2 reviews • liberties, politics, obama, lgbt • huffingtonpost.com
Rep. Barney Frank speaks out about Obama's choice of Rev. Rick Warren to give the invocation at his inauguration. I couldn't agree with him more:
"I am very disappointed by President-elect Barack Obama's decision to honor Reverend Rick Warren with a prominent role in his inauguration.
Religious leaders obviously have every right to speak out in opposition to anti-discrimination measures, even in the degrading terms that Rev. Warren has used with regard to same-sex marriage. But that does not confer upon them the right to a place of honor in the inauguration ceremony of a president whose stated commitment to LGBT rights won him the strong support of the great majority of those who support that cause.
It is irrelevant that Rev. Warren invited Senator Obama to address his congregation, since he extended an equal invitation to Senator McCain. Furthermore, the President-Elect has not simply invited Rev. Warren to give a speech as part of a series in which various views are presented. The selection of a member of the clergy to occupy this uniquely elevated position has always been considered a mark of respect and approval by those who are being inaugurated."
I do believe that Obama's choice in this matter is a real slap in the face to the LGBT community.

Rick Steves: I'm Not Pro-Drugs, I'm Pro-Common Sense
Rated • 4 reviews • activism, drugs, liberties, marijuana • bravenewtraveler.com
I didn't know Rick Steves was an activist for decriminalizing marijuana. That's awesome. His stance is that he's spent a third of his adult life overseas and he well knows that smart drug policies are about reducing harm to a society and not about locking people up.
"It's not a matter of being hard on drugs or soft on drugs, it's a matter of being smart on drugs."

"If you do crack or heroin just once you'll be automatically hooked..."
Are people really inclined to believe something this stupid?
Crack and heroin are just like any other substance that a person can put into their bodies. It enters your system, and after awhile, it leaves again. There's no "permanent effect." And whether or not a person decides to continue using the substance is entirely up to them. I mean, they certainly are addictive substances but it's totally illogical to think that doing something once will automatically make you a slave to it forever. That type of thinking is purely a product of "drug war" hysteria and propaganda.
