Yes. Heroin use and prostitution--as stigma-laden as they may be--are at their core INDIVIDUAL FREEDOMS for taxpaying adult citizens. Newsflash: heroin is NOT the strongest or deadliest opiate. Fentanyl, oxymorphone, hydromorphone and methadone are all more potent than heroin. And all are...

Here is the latest RP hit piece from MoJo magazine. Some of the comments on the facebook page are appalling :(

He who protesteth loudest...

What an awesome and rational statement. Way to go RP! The first sentence says it all: "My faith is a deeply personal issue to me." That is one thing that annoys me about modern-day religious zealots of ALL religions. The Bible itself says that we are to pray in solitude, not publicly for...

While RP seems "radical" to a lot of Christians/conservatives, his views on abortion, corporate greed and states' rights should appeal to TRUE Christians/conservatives who can see through the neo-con rhetoric.

Ugh. This further reinforces my distrust toward "hip" media figures like Colbert, John Stewart and Bill Maher.

I'm disgusted and disappointed with Obama too, but there is no excuse for defending GWB's presidency. The ONLY thing he had going for him over Obama is that he made his position on the issues known up front, where Obama flat out lied about things like marijuana legalization, etc.

Disturbing! Never had this happen despite posting things I KNOW would be considered offensive/derogatory by 90% of Amerikans. Have you tried messaging the help center? Not that it would help, but they need to know that this behavior is unacceptable.

In the late 1800s/early 1900s, heroin was available through mail-order catalogues and was routinely given to babies in cough syrup. Same with cocaine and hashish. Heroin is not the demon drug it's made out to be; in fact, many of the atrocities associated with it (overdose, needle sharing) are...

Would a "racist" support the legalization of drugs, which is responsible for incarcerating about one-fourth of the Black male population? (Not to mention Latino men, Black women and other minorities). I don't get where this racist accusation comes from, but it's getting pretty old. R.P. has...

Thanks for moving the thread! I figured it fit best in the media spin section, but the other topics in there seemed more directly related to R.P. And glad you found the link useful. I had to watch it again to catch everything.

Wasn't sure where to post this, so forgive me. May be old to some of you but it relates directly to what's going on with Ron Paul and the media so here it is. If nothing else, this documentary could be used to shut down all FOX, CNN and MSNBC disciples who think the idea of media spin is a...

The tendency of media outlets to label Paul "kooky", "weird" or "radical" is all the average American hears. Then they see his age and make a snap decision that he's not young, hip or progressive enough to understand the issues in 2011. He doesn't have enough entertainment value for the...

What's so bad about this is, had it been a police officer or (U.S. soldier in Iraq) who shot someone, it would be a whole different story. Here in Vegas cops shoot to kill, often murdering innocent children and people with mental disorders...and remain on the police force.

My condolences, OP. My great uncle succumbed to ALS a few years ago. He tried removing his mercury dental fillings and many other "holistic" treatments, all to no avail. While I often disagree with mainstream medicine's views, I have to stress that a political forum is no place for credible...
