I get pissed when I here someone claim to be conservative and tow the Republican line regardless of how liberal the particular issue may be.
Curtailing a state's power is far easier than trying to limit the fed's power. This is the fundamental reason the founders gave us a constitutional republic. Representation at the federal level is a fairy tale but state officials quake in their boots come election time if they've screwed up.

Oh, he's not coming back for more when there are people who will call him on it here. He's hiding like a frightened child. He'll only come back when he thinks the coast is clear.

The constitution is the guide line the for the government to follow. The constitution doens't really give people the right to do this or do that, but it is to limit the governments infringement on the people. The constitution deosn't even provide freedom but civil liberties.

("I smoked marijuana and turned into a bat.") although a lot of the drug warriors still believe that happens, along with a penchant for listening to jazz music, raping white women and playing that crazy piano with a maniacal grin on your face.
Hmmm. . .that's not how I see druggies. Every one I've met seems a bit of a wasteoid. Not enough of the brain left to play jazz/piano, and not enough concern for anything other than drugs to want to rape a woman.

Or he'll just round up a bunch of drug warriors that will call us names and tell us how stupid we are.

"The constitution deosn't even provide freedom but civil liberties."
Indeed, and those civil liberties do not include the right to do things which harm others. Taking drugs harms others. You know it, I know it, everyone who is honest in their thinking knows it.

"The constitution is a restriction on government power."
No where in the Constitution are rights granted to the people to do things which harm others. Taking drugs harms people other than the druggie. And you know it.

I don't do drugs. But I guess if that is the only way to make yourself sound right, go right ahead. Most intellegent people can see past those comments.
To: RockyMtnMan
Unfortunately, the blind support of the WoD is both the Republican and Democratic party line. Because of people who live in sound bites and who can't participate in intelligent discussion and assesment of the issues. Politicians are scared to death that if they take a reasonable stance on the expansion of goverment power or the massive expenditure of resources driven by the drug war, all anyone will hear is that they are "pro-drug." It is the exact same kind of thing reflected in presidio's posts - and it is a damn shame that politics are driven down to that level by those who refuse to acknowledge reality. So they'll get their drug war, and it won't succeed any more than it already has, and it will cost a fortune, and we'll jail an increasing number of our citizens who have never raised a hand to anyone or stolen anything or violating a single one of God's commandments, and soon there will be all kinds of new surveillance techniques we will all have to put up with - we'll probably all have to submit samples, like Gattaca - and these people won't care any more about liberty then than they do now.

Repeating it doesn't make it true.

Since you are relying on the "harms others" argument, why not reply to my #631?

The law will punish someone if they harm someone. There are laws against that already.
To: MEGoody
Taking drugs harms othersNot as much as a drug dealer who thinks you are a cop or trying to move in on his territory. By your logic you are advocating a ban on alcohol as well, I personally know several people being harmed by alcohol abuse.

"See my posts 668 and 689."
Since the only thing you've posted relates to rights upi say the Constitution does not give, I take it you can't name one? Just one right retained by the people? Anything? Or is the 9th just fluff?

But, but, but we have to punish everybody to keep people from harming others.
That arguemnt doesn't work when the gun grabbers use it, it doesn't work when the DWs use it.
