I care for kids, families, the sick and the elderly, working class, middle class, and every American. To end poverty and advance the American Dream, I am Libertarian Girl.
A friend recently began having attacks where he couldn’t breathe, and his doctor prescribed him an asthma inhaler. Asthma inhalers aren’t something you think much about if you don’t have asthma, but the government thinks about them. Not how they’re saving lives, but how they’re causing the depletion of the ozone layer (never mind that [...]
Ron Paul always brings an interesting and unique perspective to any issue, and yesterday he addressed the swine flu on his Youtube channel.

In a case that has “long legal battle” written all over it, Sausalito, California might just find out. It’s banned medical marijuana dispensaries, establishments approved by both state and city voters by referendum– a [...]
An interesting article from The National Review about student groups at Hofstra University in the wake of Wednesday night’s debate:
