Roadmap for America
Why Liberalism Doesn’t Work
February 15, 2010 At the recent State of the Union, the expectation was that Barack Obama would (similar to Bill Clinton) declare “the age of big government is over”. It didn’t happen. Why? Barack Obama is genuine. He sincerely believes liberalism can be used to make the lives of poor and lower middle class families better. (More) Drug War Part V: The Hypocrisy We Can Correct
February 1, 2010 In The (induced) Ignorance of Power we discuss how the Drug War has been our domestic Vietnam. Vietnam was called the television war and the Drug War has been synonymous. Every night we see handcuffed prisoners paraded in front of the camera like trophies; pictures of the drugs seized; and paramilitary troops kicking in doors. It all makes great drama, but in 40 yrs. has had zero effect on drug use. (More) Assessing Obama’s First Year
January 25, 2010 Once again we interrupt our treatise on the Drug War for breaking news. In this case it is the election of a Republican senator from Massachusetts. Amazing! This could only come about as a referendum on what is occurring in Washington. (More) The Drug War: Part IV Legalization vs. De-criminalization
January 20, 2010 As we have discussed for a number of weeks, our Drug War has not only failed, but made the situation inexorably worse.

January 7, 2010 Once again we interrupt our treatise on the Drug War for breaking news. In this case the attempt on the Delta airliner over Detroit. (More) The Drug War, Part III
December 28, 2009 This is the third in our series on the Drug War, as you cannot explain 40 yrs. of failed policy in a one page column. We have paramilitary armies and a clandestine air force operating on two foreign continents, multiple agencies with $billions in equipment “protecting” our borders, the same agencies creating their own navies, plus the Coast Guard “protecting” our shores, the largest prison population in the world, yet we have had zero effect on drug use! (More) The Iran Conundrum
December 21, 2009 We are interrupting our series on the Drug War to respond to the breaking news on Iran. The Drug War has been a monumentally failed policy for 40 yrs and will undoubtedly remain so for another week. For the moment, however, Iran has presented us with a challenge, and as good citizens we need to understand it. (More)
