I think one of the most heart-breaking things I see amongst alleged fellow conservatives, is the constant reliance on existing evils to justify their failed arguments.
For example, the "tobacco is almost illegal" argument. The fact that there can be a "sin" tax by the federal government is a crime.
The concept that Tobacco and Alcohol are LEGAL, and much much more damaging and unhealthy than marijuana, is beyond argument, and the intellectual dishonesty of the distinction is blatant.
The fact that you even need a "prescription" for medication in order to comply with "federal regulation/law" of medicine is gut-wrenching.
The Patriot Act? What an ironic name.
We sit around, fat and lazy, giving our freedoms away at an increasing rate. We spit on the graves of our fallen fathers, we wipe our collective hindparts with the Constitution, as we sit here and let freedom after freedom slip through our fingers.
