“Even if one takes every reefer madness allegation of the prohibitionists at face value, marijuana prohibition has done far more harm to far more people than marijuana ever could. ” the late William F. Buckley, Jr. 1925-2008

The cheerleader for the conservatives since the end of World War II, the man who once described himself as being “so right for so much of the time” is dead.

William F. Buckley, Jr. is the founder of the magazine National Review. He was a popular talk show guest during the 1960s and 1970s. He developed an imposing vocabulary to intimidate and skewer his opponents in political debates.

Buckley was 82 .

Here’s commentary from Clark Dark’s momma…Blanche Africa Reilly Dark. Tell us how you really feel about another Clinton candidacy, Blanche.

Thanks. Firstly I want everyone to know I did not wholeheartedly support  Bill Clinton, Hillary’s husband, for president. I do not see him as being anything but a new style Dixie-crat. I definitely do not see him as being, nor would I ever describe him as “America’s first black president”.  I find that description insulting on many levels. Most importantly I find it offensive because he is not a black man.

Hillary Clinton I do not like you. From the looks of the surveys taken in recent months I am not alone in my opinion. There are many Americans who do not like you. (more…)

On Thursday and Saturday President George W. Bush indicated he is not giving up on House approved legislation providing immunity to those telecommmunications companies who assisted in spying on American citizens in the name of security.

The U.S. House has opposed legislation giving immunity to the corporations that participated in domestic surveillance of Americans. The U.S. Senate has approved a measure granting retroactive immunity to the telephone companies for their part in spying on American telephone calls. (more…)

Dawn Primarolo is the woman in the British government who wants to provide perpetual contraception for teens in the UK.

Who is this monstrous individual you ask? Dawn Primarolo, Paymaster General from 1999 until 2007, as head of the Finance Ministry, was in charge of the UK’s version of tax credits to families. In the United Kingdom tax credits were given to working families to provide enhanced assistance. There have been allegations that families were worse off for participating in the program. (more…)

In Canadian author Margret Atwood’s 1990 novel “The Handmaid’s Tale” she describes a period sometime in the future following nuclear war where a totalitarian theocratic government is in place in a country called Gilead, that has replaced the United States of America. Because of dangerously low reproduction rates, Handmaids are assigned to bear children for elite couples who have trouble conceiving.

Recently an article appeared in the British publication the Daily Mail reporting the virtues and reasons as proposed by a government official, the Minister of State for Public Health, to justify radical birth control for British teens. Although this is an idea being fomented in the UK it is not beyond the realm of possibility the abstraction could find life here across the pond. Remember the Beatles and Carnaby Street imports of the 1960s? (more…)
