1. Re: Lawmakers mull over marijuana possession legalization –

   At Gary Johnson’s Election Night party, I asked him to form an exploratory committee for the 2014 gubernatorial race, if not actually run for the office.

2. Re: Limiting Government –

   The original author of the article (Sylvia Bokor – Blogspot / Facebook) is one of those so-called conservatives that couldn’t be bothered to support either Ron Paul or Gary Johnson for president, yet always had a kind word for Slick Willard Romney. This is the same Romney who put together the template for Obamacare and treated gun owners as a political soccer ball (to be kicked around at his whim) while serving as governor of Massachusetts. Romney went on to follow up such a stellar performance as governor in 2008 by supporting TARP, the first round of bailouts signed by Bush in October of that year.

   Similarly, in 2012 Bokor stumped for U.S. Senate candidate Heather Wilson, who while in the U.S. House behaved as Romney did as governor of Massachusetts – stabbing gun owners in the back and socializing health care. Medicare Part D was the centerpiece of Wilson’s 2002 re-election campaign – she couldn’t shut up about how much she supported it. Yet Bokor couldn’t be bothered to lift a finger on behalf of Jon Barrie, who like Ron Paul and Gary Johnson, was deemed “unelectable” by Bokor and her “GOP uber alles” cohorts.

   I have nine months of saved emails as evidence.

   Now Bokor wants to “take back the GOP” from the very same people she carried water for in the 2012 election cycle. Ain’t that a laugh?

3. Posted to Facebook –

   Does anyone here have a link to the actual terms of this treaty? Has anyone here read it? Why did the 38 Republicans had to have their “soul(s) removed” before voting against it?

   For what it’s worth, I don’t trust the UN in the slightest. I’ve read some of their proposed treaties and conventions aimed at the “small arms trade” — they’re along the same lines of British-style victim disarmament laws, and often supported by the same crowd who calls me a criminal, psychopath and/or terrorist simply because I own guns that they don’t want civilians owning without first having their stamp of approval.

   Full disclosure: My younger brother has cerebal palsy, and I may be the last person (at least in New Mexico) to defend Republicans.

   David: If “serving others is the highest state of being,” then why should coercion be used to obtain that service? Doesn’t that coercion invalidate it because it wasn’t provided voluntarily?
