The United States of Sedation. It seems that more and more of our populace is either stoned or inebriated most of the time. How did it come to this point?
“How did it come to this point?”
We slap drug dealers on the wrist when they’re caught. The only ones that seem to get life in prision are the kingpins ... and they’re replaced quickly when they’re caught.
You need to execute dealers. Anyone caught dealing heroin needs to die. Maybe give them a pass the first time since anyone is capable of doing something stupid once. That’s the liberal side of me talking I guess. However, the second time you are caught dealing that garbage, you die. I’d lump meth dealers in with that group.
We coddle our criminals. They push “rehabilitation for criminals” on us since it gets liberals money to perform social experiments. It also gets them political power since they can play on people’s emotions and make you out to be “heartless” if you don’t care for this breed of scum even if they tend to get out of jail and go right back to doing what they do best. Maybe if a couple thousand were executed, word might spread that no amount of money is worth dealing opiates.
As for the addicts, I’d blame liberalism for them. I almost feel dirty for saying that since I’m one who is pretty heavily into personal responsibility. Sure, the addict made the initial choice to use said drug, but there are millions of shades of grey as to why that decision was made. Many times it was a foolish, reckless decision made when the person was very young. However, had liberals not had so much compassion for hardened criminals dealing a drug that turns your average person into a zombie, we might not be in a situation where we are even considering “shooting up safehouses”.
Our War on Drugs is a joke. It’s been fought by politicians like all the wars the US has been involved with since WWII ... there is no clear path for victory laid out, the media tries to make the USA look like barbarians when they execute the war, and a bunch of filthy liberals are out there protesting publicly while being paid by communists privately.
