When Ron Paul ran in 2008 I overheard much the same thing. "Tanks in the streets." "Martial Law" "FMEA Camps". Life goes on, government gets bigger.

I've given up on any sort of purity tests for Libertarians. I consider myself an anarchist, but I think a Libertarian president would be an improvement over Clinton. Is that up for debate?

My dream scenario is that Johnson wins New Mexico, and Clinton/Trump both come up shy of 270 electoral votes. Then the house votes for Johnson out of spite. President Johnson This could actually happen and has a probability greater than zero. Next best would be a similar situation with...

Been out of the forums since Rand dropped out. Was planning to sit this election out, when I read that the LP will be eligible for $10 million in Federal matching funds if Johnson crosses the 5% threshold. Personally, I like Gary anyway, but isn't getting the LP $10 million a goal we can all...

I think Dallas has a lot of questions to answer. Why did you have a bomb? Who made the bomb? Do you have more bombs? What is your rules of engagement for detonating bombs? Are your officers trained in lethal bombings? I mean...shit, that doesn't even scratch the surface of the questions I have.

They are scheduled to be scrapped. Feds want a 3" hole in the block and the unibody cut in half. Give me a mig welder and a deal with Honda for engines and I could make a killing.

I am certain that Misty Plowright is a pornstar nom de plum, and a damn fine one at that.

If the State department doesn't release these, the Russians will.

I wonder what VW is going to do with all these used diesels? Sell them in other countries?

need a 3rd pic with some dead pakistanis.

Disturbing stuff. Per the article the State department requested approval from the CIA due political backlash in Pakistan. Remember, they're ostensibly our allies, and the CIA kills people there without notifying their government. Its only a few steps now, from a fully automated system...

Is this not a reasonable comment from the senate majority leader?
