"Time's Up" Flags Now Available


I now have a supply of my "Time's Up" Flags available for purchase. They are high quality flags made by Annin & Co. They measure 3' by 5' and have headers and grommets for hanging. They are digitally printed and made for indoor or outdoor use. They are better than I had hoped. The cost is $60.00 each delivered. Email me at dullhawk@hotmail.com if you are interested in one.

The Danger of Militarized Cops Goes Mainstream

Here is a very interesting article from Popular Mechanics: SWAT Overkill: The Danger of a Paramilitary Police Force

Perhaps America is becoming aware of the dangers. We can only hope.

Kent McManigal: The Silly Candidate

I will admit that sometimes I feel a bit silly running for president. I have no war-chest of funds for campaigning. I don't even accept donations. I am not a famous activist or celebrity. I haven't staged theatrical protests (although I really enjoyed reading about the "V in DC" events). I do not play politics the way I have been told is necessary in order to be elected. By which, I mean I have not toned down my libertarian views. Not even most of my own family would vote for me, since they are textbook examples of the religious-right. Will I win? No. But if I abandoned my principles in order to win, even I would not vote for myself, and would be disgusted at anyone who did vote for me. We do not need more politicians. We have a vast overabundance of that breed now. That is why I stay in the race. I still believe that of all the choices out there, I am the one who could straighten out the mess the best. I would not spare government programs that I may like if they fall outside Constitutional authority. There are no sacred governmental cows to me. I may be called a "utopian dreamer" for this. I don't believe in Utopia. I do believe in (and live in) a growing Distopia. I aim to stop it. What will you do?
