No drug warrior is a real conservitive, they are socialists. They believe in putting people in jail for private behavior to protect 'society'. Hardly a conservitive position.

No, those that want to legalize pot and drugs -- liberaltarians that join Barney Frank, Joycelyn Elders and the left-wing nations of the Netherlands and Canada -- are real leftists.

Conservatives know that justice means protecting innocent people from druggies and that drug legalization dramatically reduces the quality of life in a society.

[Ol' Sparky]

No, liberaltarians sound like their fellow leftists at the ACLU when in comes to drug legalization:

The ACLU has opposed the outright criminalization of drugs since 1968, believing that the best way to deal with drugs is regulation, not incarceration.

"They believe in putting people in jail for private behavior to protect 'society'. Hardly a conservitive position."

Quite right. That is not a conservative position.

That is not where the conflict occurs. It is a dispute about whether it is "private behavior".
