NORML's letter to Sen Norm Coleman

Minnesota Senator Norm Coleman acknowledges on his website that he was a "campus organizer in the '60s" when he attended Hofstra University in Hempstead, NY. His Wikipedia entry states: "He ran for student senate and opined in the school newspaper that his fellow students should vote for him because he knew that 'these conservative kids don't fuck or get high like we do... Everyone watch out, the 1950s' bobby-sox generation is about to take over.'" Several photos (reproduced here) show the then longhaired Coleman speaking through a bullhorn and unfurling an anti-war banner with other students. Since that time, the Brooklyn, NY-born politician ...

Diversity is remarkable for its homogeneity. From :Wikipedia: “Christian's parents found her abandoned Toyota 4-Runner two blocks away from the Chipman Street house on Monday, with the help of her mobile phone provider.

When police went to the address on Tuesday, January 9, they found the home unoccupied and Christian's body in a trash can in the kitchen. Christian was ...

The Ascendancy of the Scientific Dictatorship Part Two: Science Fiction and the Sirius Connection - by Phillip D. Collins ©, Feb. 24th, 2005 In part two of this article, we trace the thread of the concept of 'survival of the fittest' from Condorcet to Malthus, to Spencer, to Wallace and to Darwin; elucidate the 'predictive programming' contained in science fiction novels; and illuminate the extraterrestrial connection, specifically the Freemasonic import of Sirius, the Dog Star. Science Fiction: A Means of Predictive Programming Aldous Huxley first presented the 'scientific dictatorship' to the public imagination in his book Brave New World. In Dope, Inc., ...
The Fuhrerprinzip, Why so-called conservatives embrace it

The Fuhrerprinzip, Why so-called conservatives embrace it Sean Scallon June 27, 2007 Why does Rudy Guliani lead or has led the field of GOP presidential candidates in most polls since the beginning of the year, despite the fact he remains outside the party’s mainstream on issues like abortion, immigration and homosexual rights? Over 10 years ago such positions would have certainly terminated his campaign on the ground, as it had former California governor Pete Wilson and Pennsylvania U.S. Senator Arlen Specter back in 1996. But today, Guliani is a serious candidate for the GOP nomination regardless of those views. The reason for this has a lot to do with a peculiar fetish that ...
The Honor of Ron Paul [Full Thread]

I guess I’ve known Ron Paul for a quarter of a century now, and I don’t remember how we met. My first memory of him is a quiet dinner on Capitol Hill, during the Reagan years. He told me with dry humor of being the only member of Congress to vote against some bill Reagan wanted passed. For Ron it was a matter of principle, and he was under heavy pressure to change his vote. What amused him was that the Democrats didn’t mind his voting against it; all the pressure came from his fellow Republicans, professed conservatives, who were embarrassed that anyone should actually stand up for their avowed principles when it was unpopular to do so. That was Ron Paul for you. Still is. ...

Hate Crimes and Special Victims: An Un-American Story
Post Date: 2007-06-27 11:28:36 by Vitamin Z
0 Comments
The fallacy of hate crime laws — the prosecution of which requires a degree of mind-reading not yet available to most Earthlings — has been cast into stark relief the past few weeks following an interracial rape-murder that has bestirred white supremacists and led to death threats against an African-American columnist. The spark that caused the firestorm was the brutal rape-murder of a young white couple, Channon Christian and Chris Newsom, who were carjacked last January in Knoxville, Tenn. Five blacks — four men and a woman — have been charged in connection with the slayings. Because the story didn't receive national media attention, some commentators and ...
Buchanan: Does Bloomberg spell doom for Hillary?

Posted: June 26, 2007 The presidential candidacy of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is already a smashing success. A mere change of registration from Republican to independent has garnered him a cornucopia of free and favorable publicity some candidates do not receive in a year of campaigning. The mayor has replaced Fred Thompson as the most talked-about non-candidate since Mario Cuomo in 1992 and Colin Powell in 1996. Gov. Cuomo and Gen. Powell, after scouting the terrain, declined to engage. That may be good advice for the mayor. Enjoy and exploit the media frenzy you will create between now and decision day, but think long and hard before plunging in. For, after that, the fun stops, ...

Wonks vs. Revolutionaries: The Biggest Division Within the Democratic Party By Arnold Kling : BIO| 26 Jun 2007 "Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York and Barack Obama of Illinois and former Sen. John Edwards of South Carolina all have staked out positions sharply at odds with [documentary film director Michael] Moore's approach. But none of them is eager to have that fact dragged into the spotlight... In "Sicko," the filmmaker calls for abolishing the insurance industry, putting a tight regulatory collar on pharmaceutical companies and embracing a Canadian-style government-run system. --Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar, The Los Angeles Times, June 22, 2007 Assuming that the ...

Why is nobody questioning the GOP front-runner about his lobbying efforts on behalf of a murderous leftist demagogue? by Justin Raimondo To look at Fred Thompson, the actor-cum-senator who now appears to be moving to the front of the GOP presidential pack, one would think that what you see is what you get – but, no. Peel back the pretty ordinary red-state Republican opinions – the war is a righteous one, free Scooter Libby – and we get to the hollow core at the center of his political being. That is, his prior career as a professional lobbyist – perhaps the one profession that is rated lower in the public's esteem than being a member of Congress. I have to admit ...
Why black neighborhoods have high unemployment

Why black neighborhoods have high unemployment By Harry C. Alford, NNPA Columnist June 25, 2007 Despite what many bigots and ignorant minds would like to think, Black neighborhoods are blighted for a reason other than a biological one. The reason or reasons are calculated schemes by sinister and greedy minds that conspire to exploit naïve entities to quench their thirst of money and power. For every exploited Black family or household there are these conspirators profiting and solidifying their grip on a disparity that benefits them at the cost of others. We learned this early in forming the National Black Chamber of Commerce in Indianapolis. Prompted by a complaint from a local ...

Goodbye to the City on the Hill And to Its Fabled Economy "We shall be as a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us." --John Winthrop America is being destroyed. Many Americans are unaware, others are indifferent, and some intend it. The destruction is across the board: the political and constitutional system, the economy, social institutions including the family itself, citizenship, and the character and morality of the American people. Those who rely on the Internet for information are aware that the Bush regime has successfully assaulted the separation of powers and civil liberty. Both Bush and Cheney claim that they are not bound by laws that impinge on ...
The Vices of Cheney: Where Impeachment Must Begin

The Vices of Cheney: Where Impeachment Must Begin For several years, in my discussions with Representatives and Senators, it has not been unusual to hear Vice President Dick Cheney referred to as President George Bush's "insurance policy." That is, against the beginning of impeachment proceedings in the House. The prevailing assumption has been that it would be necessary to impeach and convict Cheney, first, so as not to leave the government in his hands should the president leave office before the end of his term. This assumption was, and is correct -- not just due to the fact that the route to holding the president ultimately accountable for "high crimes" goes ...

What is Alex Jones doing? When I ask his supporters that question they typically answer with something along the lines of, "He's waking people up. He's spreading information." Okay, suppose that's true. People are "waking up" to the horrors of the New World Order as well as 9/11 being an inside job. So what? Nothing is changing as a result of all this "waking up." Every day Alex Jones is ranting about the latest NWO atrocity. Every day he freaks out over the march of the NWO and the planned destruction of America. The 9/11 "truth" movement is big online but in the real world it's going nowhere. In the world of Alex Jones, each day ...

Pumping Out Bad Policies By John R. Lott Jr. : BIO| 25 Jun 2007 With gas prices around $3 a gallon, the Senate last week passed new energy legislation. It will ultimately go to conference with the House to work out differences between the Senate and House bills. But any bill that gets agreed upon seems certain to increase the swings in gas prices and leave the average American worse off. Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) claims that oil companies are colluding to drive up the price, "they wink at each other and do the same thing." Likewise, Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) blames the companies for taking advantage of Hurricane Katrina to raise prices: "You have a hurricane, and ...

But even in my harshest musings about the vice president, I never imagined that he would declare himself not ...

No Guns by Charley Reese DIGG THIS I'm ready at last to support gun control. I believe every police agency in the United States – local, state and federal – should be disarmed. After all, the gun-control people have been saying for years that we private citizens have no need for firearms. Well, if that's true for us, it's true for the police. We are the inhabitants of the country. We live in the neighborhoods, we are the victims of crime, and if we don't need guns, then who does? I've yet to hear of a police officer being mugged or raped, and certainly not an FBI agent, as the feds spend most of their time in offices, except on weekends and holidays. ...

WHAT I LEARNED FROM DUKE UNIVERSITY

I used to live in Durham. I used to visit Duke's magnificent open-stacks libraries on a regular basis. I learned a lot in those libraries. But I learned a lot more from Duke over the last month. In 1942, America's most distinguished academic economist, Joseph Schumpeter, offered a theory. He argued that America's business elite had lost its will to resist the socialists. The key to this surrender was higher education. The anti-business socialists had been hired by America's elite universities, he said, yet the business elite continued to send their children to these universities. In 2007, Duke University seemed to confirm half of Schumpeter's thesis, in full public ...

Deluded Presidential Promises of Progress in Iraq Doug Bandow President George W. Bush held an hour-long video conference with Iraqi leaders on Monday and pronounced himself "impressed and reassured," announced White House Press Secretary Tony Snow. The president believes that Iraqi "leaders are working together" on important issues. Yes, President Bush has seen light at the end of the tunnel. He believes that we have turned the corner. He knows the dark of night is about to give way to the light of dawn. He thinks we have achieved a real turning point. What could be more obvious? Of course, that's what he has been telling us ever since he stood on the flight deck ...

Edward D. Failor, Jr., Executive Vice President of Iowans for Tax Relief, and those working with him on the Presidential Forum to take place on June 30th are feverishly ignoring Congressman Ron Paul, the breakout Presidential candidate who is now in undisputed control of the Internet. They obviously fear Paul's participation in the otherwise lackluster line up of candidates to appear at their forum, put on by Iowans for Tax Relief and the Iowa Christian Alliance. Like so many defective Ken Dolls the other candidates mouth slight variations of the NeoCon Line. ...

Bloomberg's Third Party Problem, and Ours By Joshua Spivak : BIO| 22 Jun 2007 With the news that he has dropped his Republican affiliation, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg continues to play a public game of flirting with an independent presidential run. This meshes with the years-long speculation that a noted political figure, be it the self-financing Bloomberg or someone else, like the antiwar Republican Senator Chuck Hagel, will jump into the 2008 presidential race with either an independent or third party bid. Pundits argue that for a host of different reasons, such as the growth of internet fund raising or the mood of the country or because of the impending death of the ...
