Libertarian Party: National Guard Should Protect Medical Marijuana Users from DEA Thugs

Libertarian Party ^ | September 23, 2002 | George Getz

As a Republican, I LOVE these LP press releases. Keep 'em coming.

[weikel]

I oppose the WOD and generally side with the libertarians but I cannot favor this initive if the states use the national guard in this way it would throw the Union into civil war. Thats our last resort...

[LenS]

Ah, yes. The Libertarian's only real principle -- the only one they'll really kill for -- the right to get stoned.

Democrats have abortion as their ultimate litmus test. For Libertarians, it's cannabis.

[BikerNYC]

Finally! Using the National Guard to protect the local people from outsiders. I like it.

[BlueLancer]

Jeez, if the Libertarians want to fight about it so much, they should arm themselves and resist the Evil Government. They remind me a lot of those terrorists hiding out in Arafat's HQ in Ramallah ...

...they're eager enough to send out someone else to resist and become martyrs to the cause, but hypocrites enough not to want to become martyrs themselves.

The Libertarian Party ... if you want your 72 virgins, you're going to have to earn them yourselves.

[Illbay]

Further proof that "free drugs" has become THE ONE AND ONLY issue for the Libertine Party.

[Darth Reagan]

Yep, that's all we need. A military clash between a state and the federal government. The next civil war starts over marijuana. While libertarians (small l) have a lot of good ideas, the LP does a good job of discrediting them.

[Catspaw]

Everybody must get stoned....

Read this little paragraph about the Libs from a website about The Libertarian Party and note my bold:

But in general, libertarians combine the strong defense of individual civil liberties, due process, social tolerance (religous, lifestyle choices, etc.), open immigration, and nonconformity espoused by modern day "liberals" with an equally strong defense of free markets, private property, free trade, radically reduced government and international noninterventionism often espoused by conservatives.

They are not only for pot but OPEN IMMIGRATION!" I didn't realize that!

[Emile]

As has been amply demonstrated in many of the wars we've fought, some things are worth fighting for. And the level of unconstitutional federal reach into every aspect of our lives might be getting to that point. The question: how much are we willing to take before reacting to it?

[Reagan Man]

>>>They are not only for pot but OPEN IMMIGRATION!" I didn't realize that!

Oh yeah!

[SteamshipTime]

They also oppose welfare and anti-discrimination laws, without which there would be far less immigration.

[Moby Grape]

And I LOVE these LP releases as well....DEA agents are THUGS in their world...The LP is FUNNIER than anything one could invent...

[PhiKapMom]

Wonder what the people on here that oppose immigration think of the Libs? Or did they not know?

[Reagan Man]

Libertarianism = organized anarchy.

libertarianism = unorganized anarchy.

[AzJP]

Without welfare we'd get only the good ones. Our welfare brats would leave for socialist countries. Pity.

[Moby Grape]

Illbay, legal DOPE is not their only issue...hiding our heads in the sand and pretending no harm will ever come to our shores is the OTHER great principled stand taken by these true patriots.

[SteamshipTime]

An anarchist is anyone who doesn't rely on government to tell them what to do.

[PhiKapMom]

Excuse me but anti-discrimination has as much to do with blacks in this country as anything and if you don't think some of the laws were necessary, then you have a lot more faith in some people like Byrd than I do. Somehow the KKK seems to have led to a number of laws on the books!

Anti-discrimination laws will never go away as long as there are people that detest another person because of the color of his skin!

Personally the Libs are the doing anything you want, feel good crowd of the 60's who have contributed very little to the good of this Country.
