I don’t believe in drug use especially when people commit crimes to obtain them. But I don’t think that smoking something deemed illegal or having in your possession a small amount of something deemed illegal is grounds for SWAT teams busting down doors and killing people (and dogs). What happened to “an eye for an eye”?
I also figure that the number of people you describe are a very tiny number. How many stupid kids OD'd? How many people have the cartels murdered? How many are in prison for having an amount the authorities considered dealing?
The punks from the 60's completely changed our culture, making illegal drugs desirable, shunning marriage, denouncing our founders, becoming promiscuous, rejecting our standard morals. I amazes me that conservatives do not despise these people. I believe they were useful idiots led by marxists.
I used to have a friend that was an undercover narc for the DPS. They went after the big drug dealers and movers, and it wasn’t until they had enough legal proof that they moved in on them. I believe that was the correct course.
I agree. Three things come to mind:
1) Bill Ayers was mentored by communists of my father's generation ( born 1913). Without plenty of support and help of Marxists in academia he would have never risen to the levels of influence he now has.
2) The government K-12 schools of the 60s generation had been highly consolidated. Very few of the 60s generation attended one room schools directed by the parents. They attended school **factories**. These schools were ( and are ) the very definition of a single-payer, compulsory-use, socialist entitlement. What little remained of the Protestant Christian worldview was reduced to a mere nod to God in the morning. It was strictly godless secularism for the remainder of the day. By 1964 God was gone.
Children who attend socialist-entitlement schools risk learning to be comfortable with socialism.
Children in godlessly secular classrooms **WILL** learn to think and reason godlessly . They must just to cooperate in the godless classroom.
3) I attended a Catholic University in the early 70s. It was non-stop Marxist Liberation Theology. My professors were of my **father's** generation!
So? Question:
Who should be blame for the above? The children of the 50s and 60s? No! We should blame their parents for not being more aware and more involved,...and...more assertive in removing their children from evil.
Absolutely. I stand with the Libertarians on that one!
By the way, I am a lower case “l” libertarian.
Don’t pretend that drug use started in the 60s. The WOD started in about 1914 when Democrats claimed that black men were doing cocaine and raping white women. All in order to fill the southern prison plantations with free prisoner/slave labor.
>> You want to demilitarize the police? End the WOD.
The statists won’t allow it.
>> Those of you who allowed yourselves to follow those punks who popularized drug usage deserve the WOD.
You must be talking about R&R...
>> The punks from the 60’s completely changed our culture, making illegal drugs desirable, shunning marriage, denouncing our founders, becoming promiscuous, rejecting our standard morals
I think that was a consequence of WWII, and parents being lenient on the spawn that bequeathed us all with the blessings (cough) of the sixties.
It amazes me that the number of people who claim to love liberty and who cannot even entertain the idea of ending the WOD.
It amazes me that the number of people who claim to love liberty yet cannot even entertain the idea of ending the WOD.
The Rutherford Institute and ACLU are similar. What both organizations fail to acknowledge is that they are partially responsible for the alleged police state. The illegals, criminal element from south of the border and gangbangers are almost a protected class.
There’s quite a bit of statism among so-called “conservatives”. They don’t mind statism as long as it’s done their way.
Cite please.
Look up the history of the Harrison Tax Act.
