Dr. Cornel West articulately raises concerns about Obama posturing on Martin Luther King, Jr. today. King was adamantly anti-war; Obama has increased war efforts primarily through the drone program in numerous countries that haven’t done a thing to the U.S. Dr. West also raises concerns of the prison-industrial complex; Obama, even after using illegal drugs [...]
Mitt Romney is dangerous. Barack Obama is dangerous. Neither of them want to leave you alone. Neither of them want to end needless and atrocious wars overseas. Neither of them will dare espouse an original thought. Both are pawns. Both want to use government force to their advantage. But go on, get emotionally attached and [...]
Unfortunately, this point is not easily understood by people continue to spout the dogmatic and rehashed excuses in support of the two-party system. In reality, it’s a pretty simple concept: don’t vote for what you don’t want. There is no reason to get emotionally attached to these two corrupt, hypocritical, and tyrannical political parties.

Paul Ryan talks a good talk (sometimes), but in the end he votes for more spending, more government intervention, and military adventurism. Romney doesn’t even have anything close to a coherent and consistent philosophy or record. And no, I am not voting for Obama/Biden either. Nothing will change so long as we continue to support [...]
Don’t blame me. It’s not my fault that your corrupt, anti-liberty, pro-war, sold-out political parties nominated corrupt, anti-liberty, pro-war, sold-out candidates. I will NOT vote for Romney or Obama. Tweet
While in the Senate and on the campaign trail during the 2008 presidential election, Barack Obama spoke eloquently about the need to restore due process and constitutional procedure for people targeted and captured by the U.S. government. He repeatedly called for the closure of Guantanamo Bay, and on his first day of office as President [...]
Contrary to his campaign rhetoric in 2008 and one of his first Executive Orders vowing to close Guantanamo Bay within a year, President Obama is now overseeing a $40 million renovation of Gitmo. Have people already forgotten what Obama said just five years ago? “Why don’t we close Guantanamo and restore the right of habeas [...]
What is a chickenhawk, you ask? Chickenhawk: chick·en·hawk. n. “A person who strongly supports war or other military action, yet actively avoided military service when of age.” Chickenhawks are those individuals, particularly in politics, who strongly support or advocate for war and increased military intervention even though they avoided participating in the military when they were of [...]
Adam Kokesh and Joe Rogan discuss what Anwar Al-awlaki was really saying (at least at one point) and what it means in terms of the government’s ability to label and attack people without presenting any evidence. Heartfelt appreciation to Adam for helping bring this issue into the spotlight. Tweet
The assassinations of Abdulrahman Al-awlaki and Anwar Al-awlaki, two U.S. citizens killed by U.S. drone strikes in Yemen, carry extremely dangerous implications for individual liberty, due process, and severe abuse of government power. We cannot let these incidents slip through the cracks. Tweet
