No difference between Republicans and Democrats

Democrats Republicans
They might as well be called the Republicrats. When in campaign mode Mr. Obama promised to get us out of Iraq and Afghanistan, and he promised to close Gitmo. So far, he hasn’t done any of those things. Instead, he continues the policies of his predecessor.
The Obama administration has clung for so long to the Bush administration’s expansive claims of national security and executive power that it is in danger of turning President George W. Bush’s cover-up of abuses committed in the name of fighting terrorism into President Barack Obama’s cover-up.
When the New York Times starts criticizing their Savior, you know he’s screwing up.

There is still no substitute for human blood

I find it amazing! With all the technology we have at our disposal, there is no such thing as artificial blood. Doctors can do amazing things: build artificial hearts, transplant organs, re-attach fingers and toes. But there is still no such thing as a human blood substitute. Donate today.

I am not a conservative!

Libertarians
I’m getting tired of people accusing me of being a conservative. I am not. I am a Libertarian.
  • I am not opposed to gay marriage. I don’t think the government should be in the business of issuing marriage licenses to anybody.
  • I am in favor of ending the insane “Drug War.” Didn’t our country learn anything from the first time we tried prohibition?
  • I am in favor of lower taxes, abolishing the current income tax and replacing it with a fair tax.
  • I am a capitalist pig. We have too much government regulation and we need a lot less interference in our economy.
  • I was critical of many of the things George W. Bush did during his Presidency. (Medicare prescription drug coverage and No Child Left Behind just to name two.)
  • Criticizing Barack Hussein Obama‘s policies does not make one a conservative. I think Obama is as red as Chairman Mao and he’s taking our country in the wrong direction.
  • Listening to Rush Limbaugh on the radio and watching FOX News does not make anyone a conservative.

I encourage everyone to take the World’s Smallest Political Quiz and see where you are on the political map. My political views place me at second base on the diamond.

Obama got something right

Health Care Politics

This is for all my friends who think I am always critical of Mr. Obama and can’t give him credit for doing something right.

U.S. eases prosecutions on medical marijuana

The Obama administration told federal authorities yesterday not to arrest or prosecute medical-marijuana users and suppliers, paving the way for some states to move forward with plans to create officially sanctioned dispensaries to provide the drug as relief for a series of maladies.

It’s one step toward ending the insane “War on Drugs.” A baby step for sure, but the federal government shouldn’t get in the way between doctors and patients. If somebody is terminally ill and a joint is the only thing that eases their pain and nausea, then they should be allowed to light up.
