H.R. 5741 is currently being argued in the house of representatives. If passed, H.R. 5741 will give the president the power to require 2 years of compulsory service from every US resident between ages 18 and 42.

The Central Intelligence Agency(CIA) has confirmed the worst fears of its creator President Harry Truman that it might degenerate into “an American Gestapo.” It has been just that for so long it is beyond redemption.

Recently, I had a brief email exchange with a tea-party member. He likes everything I have to say, but says he probably won’t vote for me. According to him, tea-partiers must unite around the candidate who a) most closely matches the tea-party ideals and b) can win. He wrote to me and asked very plainly, [...]
