US Goverment Agencies Infiltrating Mexican Drug Cartels

It’s insane that we are risking lives in this futile effort to stop drug trafficking. Why do we continue this approach decade after decade? We take down one cartel and another one rises. It’s a good thing so much effort was put into killing Pablo Escobar; seemed like that whole cocaine trafficking thing was going to get out of control. I know millions of dollars were spent and hundreds of lives lost in the pursuite of Escobar, but we did slow drug trafficing, didnt we? It wasent all in vein, was it?
  History has shown that drug laws do not stop drug use; they don’t even put a dent in drug use. We will never stop trafficking and use but we could save lives by changing our approach to the drug epidemic. An intelligent approach to legalize cocaine, Marianna, and heroin would devalue the products. By devaluing the products the crime associated with drugs would decrease significantly. These commodities only hold such value because they are illegal. Stiffer laws= higher values= more crime: this fact is not debatable. The prohibition of alcohol created the largest criminal empires in the United States; many of themare still operating today. The prohibition of narcotics has created the largest criminal empires on the planet and as long as our laws stay the same, America will continue to fund the largest criminal empires on the planet.
Just like Alcohol: some people will use drugs in moderation, some will abuse, some will die from drug use, and the intelligent will not use at all. These facts rain true regardless of legislation, always have, and always will. Yes drugs are often misused, but people who are users will always use in spite of the law. Implementing an intelligent form of legalization will eliminate cartels, drug motivated prostitution, and too many crimes to list. Also the billions used in the war against drugs can be decreased and reapplied to manage a legalized approach that works towards educating those who are willing to listen, and provide aid for people who seek help.

Republicans, Protestors, and Corporate Corruption

Protesters are gathering all over the country in a stand against large corporations, and in turn the republicans have come out with a “new agenda.” Members of the GOP are actually bold enough to speak out against corporate corruption and greed. I had to laugh when watching Sarah Palin on “The Sean Hannity Show” as they spoke about a need to solve the issue of corporate welfare, corruption, waste in the federal government and the negatives of capitalism. These people stand for nothing and they jump on whatever bandwagon they believe to be on route to the Whitehouse.

 It’s scary that some people actually buy into such phony redirect.

 Actions are all you can use to judge a politician or a political party because their words are just tools used to gain votes and do not adequately represent their agenda. For instance, the GOP champions less government control, fewer taxes, and more individual freedom. The GOP’s actions have been large scale ware under false pretenses which increased taxes and left Americans with less freedom; Real ID act, and The Patriot Act.
Now the GOP is championing a need to end corporate welfare but I am sure their legislative actcions will promote quite the opposite.

The GOP and Herman Cain

The problem for Democrats in recent elections had been many who support their party do not show up at the poles. When the Obama campaign got more people out to vote it created a real problem for the GOP who are well aware that the majority of those who fail to vote are Democrats. So now they are approaching the coming election that again is against now President Obama and again is presumed to have a large voter turnout. .

Is it merely a coincidence that the “Grand Old Party” has an AfricanAmerican front runner while running against the first sitting Black president? Could it be possible that the GOP worked to ensure that an African would be a front runner? Is the GOP’s support of Cain just tactical and do they think that they can steal some of the black vote? Herbert Cain seems like an odd choice considering his resume, and the fact that he puts his foot in his mouth more than G.W.

 In my opinion, foreign policy is not Cain’s only flaw; he is an African candidate championing policy that would make the lives of most Black-Americans decrease in quality. His GOP support is not based on resume or ability, but it is typical stategy from a manipulative party. I do have to give the GOP credit for inventing the “Tea Party.” It was a great move when confronted with a nation disenfranchised with the term “Republican”

Rick Sanchez leaves CNN after anchor calls Jon Stewart a 'bigot'

Sometimes in life people see themselves as being something they are not and having abilities they do not actually possess. On occasion people of this sort look to blame their inability to achieve goals on facts they have created themselves through a deductive reasoning that has been processed without the added components of their own shortcomings. Even people who have obtained above average success in their professional life will do this because their success is relative to a bar they have set higher than it should be.  

Rick Sanchez cannot understand how a John Stewart successfully humiliates him and his ideals, has a larger fan base, and is bullet proof to any counter attacks he might wish to wage.
