Uh you are missing the point again, a conservative society will bring about a conservative government.
We live in the days where the ACLU/Libertarian/Anarchic factions have made great strides in society in the last 40 years and we have seen the results and it seems that you want more of that.
You think you've answered them? Could you point out exactly where, then, because I don't think you have, unless you think "because Soros is for it" is a legitimate answer.To make it easy for you, I'll even start you off:
"Why should conservatives interested in shrinking the size and influence of the federal government support the War on Drugs?"Simple, because conservatives believe X, Y, and Z, and moreover, the government has the power to do so because of A, B, and C.
Why should conservatives interested in returning this nation to a constitutional republic support the War on Drugs?"
Simple, because the War on Drugs does X, Y, and Z, and this will help restore our nation to a constitutional republic.

No, you're missing the point. The DEA, the drug war, the propaganda, is all a product of the liberal idea that government can and should solve all of society's problems, because society simply cannot be trusted to cope with it. You seem to think that it will lead to a conservative society, but it will not. Liberal government will not produce a conservative society, but sheep. Conservatives are not sheep. The liberalization of the government started in the 30's. The hippies didn't invent it, but they did use it as a mechanism to advance their agenda. You don't want to dismantle the mechanism, you just want to find a way to turn it against them, and it isn't going to work like you want it to.
