Why I am a Libertarian

By -
It came out this week that the IRS has been targeting conservative groups for audit. 

Democrats correctly point to the same type of activity originating under President Bush during the waning years of his administration. Then, it was the directed targeting of Democrat and liberal groups. 

This is why I am Libertarian. 
Abolish the IRS and this problem goes away totally. 

Same for marriage - gay or straight. Do you really want someone in government defining what is their opinion of a legal marriage? If you answer "yes," it means that in a few short years, someone else will be in power, and they WILL NOT share your opinion.  Then you will be SOL. 

Same in the food and drug arena. You really want the FDA telling you what to eat? It is their recommendations that have led directly to the highest obesity rate in recorded history of mankind. By the same token, the FDA is incompetent when it comes to dictating what drugs are safe and what drugs to criminalize. 

These are just a few examples... I could go on and on and on...

This author has many preppers for friends, due to obvious reasons . One of the topics that comes up often is comms in an emergency situation.

And this is why .  From the tweets : "I hate to be discouraging, but I must remind everyone that even in a time of emergency, unlicensed operation is against FCC regulations. I know that personally I've received a few tattle-telling messages from hams over the past few days who have reported to me people sharing life-saving information over the radio without a license.  This is a constant reminder that for the overwhelming majority of the ham radio hobby, there is NO emergency so severe that unlicensed operation will be accepted. Sure, net control for formal nets can operate under emergency rules, but for most ...

The Breed of Peace

Reposted from Social Media: By Robyn Eshelby-Theart. ====== I'm a qualified dog behaviourist. Not only that, but I spend my entire life working with dogs. It's literally my 24/7/365 as, beyond being a behaviourist, I have a doggy daycare and boarding facility. My job is dogs. Tonight I will share something with you. And for the sake of all innocent animals, I hope that you read it. PIT BULLS ARE NOT PACK DOGS. PIT BULLS ARE NOT MULTI-PET-HOME DOGS.   Now before everyone launches into the "I know a nice pit bull who nurses kittens and walks around with a duckling on his shoulder" stories... Everyone knows a nice pit bull. If everyone here was to post their nice Pitbull story, within a minute or two people who truly understand the breed would refer 100+ pit bulls currently sitting in rescue within 50km of Fourways, with profiles on social media, whose only crime was being true to their breed design. Hundreds of Pit bulls around the country, possibly thousands in fact, ...
