I am generally libertarian and consider the war on drugs a waste of my tax money.

That said, now that I know Soros is a force behind the legalization movement, I have to reconsider.

Anything he is for is typically hidden evil.

What's the big surprise here?
The addicts were high-fiving and LOL-ing the day after the "medical marijuana" initiative passed in California. It was no big secret and their pictures were reprinted in every major newspaper in the state.

Didn't seem to matter. I have never bought into the "medical marijuana" sham.

Your not alone.

Most of those that kick in doors for a living, agree with that position.

I agree.
I always thought it did hold medicinal qualities, but now I'm not so sure.
He's absolutely desperate to drug up and numb our citizens, and he must have a reason why.

Soros seems to want to turn the United States into the Netherlands. And we know what a pillar of strength and world power the Dutch are....

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Remember, our enemey is the government, which is at the root of just about every ill in society today.

If George Soros is funding something to help decrease the power of government in a specific area: more power to him.

I just wish he wouldn't be in favor of expanding government in other areas.

Good point. However, on the flip side...

I would love to see Soros butt locked up for toking...

I would hate to lock up my neighbor if he/she happens to toke...

It's the "dope" that man "exhales" that is criminal.

I agree with you Mean West,

It's like how liberals always hide behind children to ram their social agendas down our throats. I'm sick of being manipulated by these losers. The real victims are just pawns in their relentless narcissism.

All you have to do is look at the way liberals want legalization to *be* and you'll understand why Soros supports it. Just look at how medical marijuana works, for example. The government controls it with ID cards and lists and approved stores and growers and whatnot. It's a plant for crying out loud, yet these idiots create an entire bureaucratic monstrosity to take care of distribution and use even though any 5-year-old could grow this stuff in his living room. The liberals don't want simple legalization--they want to replace the current prohibition regime with a just-as-oppressive authoritarian regime that emphasizes *forced treatment* and *social services* and *education* and all the other useless feel-good PC nonsense that normally goes hand-in-hand with any liberal program (including most of all TAX DOLLARS, of course).

Of course Soros is on board. Why wouldn't he be? He's a Socialist who thrives a building socialist programs. This is his forte.

Conservatives can either sit back and watch it happen, or fight for a legalization regime that doesn't include all the leftist government-mandated social services and sign-up sheets and ID cards and tax-dollars and whatnot.

Legalization of marijuana is inevitable.
The only thing left to decide is *what* kind of legalization regime we're going to end up with.
So far, socialist legalization ala Soros is the only option currently on the table. While conservatives twiddle their thumbs. It's too bad, really.
