You are not an American conservative. You are a statist. You believe that we are granted rights by the government - we only get to do what they allow us to do and if they say that we're not allowed to do something, then by God who are we to think we have the "right". Your belief system is anathema to the freedom of the individual that was the foundation of our country.

You're no different than the leftist a-holes we are fighting against, in terms of your view of the role of government. The only difference between you and the average leftist is that you want the government to force people to live by YOUR rules, rather than theirs. They want the government to force people to embrace homos and take public transportation, while you want the government to force people to avoid things you don't like and God knows what else. Feh. Decent Americans want the government to leave us alone.

A lot of people in Washington DC has been working very hard, for a very long time to make people ignorant of what it means to live in a republic.

Mostly, you’re an idiot!

Nowhere in my post did I address the role of the Federal Gov’t.

I simply made my case against promoting drug use.

Society doesn’t need any more intoxicants.

The more the stigma of using intoxicants is removed, the more young people are going to be impacted by their mind dulling, motivation killing qualities.

Despite the howls of protest, the use of “recreational drugs” is a clear gateway to addictive “hard” drugs.

This isn’t some libertarian, individual “right”, as the impacts to society are long term and severe.
Look at the cultures that have tried the libertarian approach.
Sweden, Norway, The Netherlands.....
