Governor Bill Ritter’s Campaign Director David Kenney today smeared participants of local tea parties as “rabidly anti-government.” The statement was part of a fund-raising letter sent by e-mail.
Kenney’s dishonest and vicious smear campaign, which likens practitioners of First Amendment rights to diseased dogs, ignores the obvious fact that the overwhelming majority of tea party participants [...]
ST. PAUL, MN – Almost a month ago we posted a video featuring my good bud Mark Tucci, a medical marijuana patient, author and activist in which he detailed how medical marijuana use became lawful in the eyes of government agents in his native Vermont. The video demonstrated the impact one passionate person can have.
While [...]

ST. PAUL, MN/THE HOLLER, TN – The tagline for Motorhome Diaries is searching for freedom in America, which begs the often-asked question – “What exactly is freedom?” Though that question could lead to a long-winded response, it can easily be summarized as having choice. The ability to opt in or out.
Seems pretty simple, right? It [...]
Federal agents have, once again, exceeded their authority in the name of “law and order.”
In a recent decision concerning federal agents seizing information, the Chief Judge for the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, Alex Kozinsky, wrote:
“This was an obvious case of deliberate overreaching by the government in an effort to seize data as to which it lacked probable cause.”
“Deliberate overreaching by the government” happens everyday in every state and in ever county and in every city in this country. Fighting that overreaching is hard. It is time-consuming. It is expensive. And mostly it is patriotic.
Be patriotic.
RENFRO VALLEY, KY- After our meetup in Indianapolis last Monday night we had a few days to hammer out some work before our meetup in Louisville that Friday, so we headed south toward the first pairing of Wal-Mart (where we park/sleep) and Starbucks/Panera (where we work). On the way, we met-up with fellow Fr33 Agent, [...]
Pat Buchanan, in a recent column (Fatal Flaw of Democracies), asks
Does either party have any plan to cut federal spending from today’s near 28 percent of GDP to the more traditional 21 percent?
George W. Bush didn’t even try, and Obama is making that Great Society Republican president look like Ron Paul.
Of course the answer to Mr. Buchanan’s question is “no.” Neither party has such a plan. We don’t really expect the Democrats to have such a plan. They are willing to ride the Ponzi scheme all the way to the bottom.
But the Republicans say they believe in smaller government and fewer taxes. Yet they lie.
When you support the very institutions – the Democratic and Republican Parties – that created the problem, how can you expect them to solve it?
They haven’t. They won’t. They can’t.
And you shouldn’t support them. Because they are lying to you.
Unless, of course, you believe that THIS time they mean it.
And like the unfaithful spouse, how many times do you let them play you for a fool? Eventually you have to say “no more.”
If you don’t kick them out, you have given your implicit consent to the conduct you pretend to abhor. You allow it. You enable it.
And you are kidding yourself if you believe that THIS time the promise will be kept.
It won’t.
How many times do you have to be played the fool before you say “no more?” How many?
KNOXVILLE, TN – Before this past weekend, you could find a steady flow of MHD content on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube and of course the MHD homepage itself. While Jason and I were at a KOA campground we took the time to launch a site on Tumblr to deliver on the promise of being [...]
LOUISVILLE, KY/FINDLAY, OH/ST. PAUL, MN – As is clear by the inclusion of MARV in our “Crew” section on our about page and on our “Let Them Be” design, our home/office/vehicle is an integral part of our operations at the Motorhome Diaries. It is “Motorhome” Diaries after all.
That’s why I wanted to take a moment [...]
ST. PAUL, MN – For those of you that religiously check the MHD homepage for new content, you may be asking yourself “What the hell happened to Pete?” No, I didn’t get locked up again and Jason and Adam have yet to off me and dispose of my body along some lonely stretch of road, [...]
