"principles of the Revolution merit conservation"

Hah! Starting with what, drugs?

You're great at wrapping yourself in conservative rhetoric when it comes to the things you want. Where were you when this country was losing these "priciples of the Revolution"? Find one for me today.

But you want to restore these priciples starting with legalizing all drugs -- and you dare to cite the era of the Revolution and call it a principle. That takes balls.

I think John Adams had people like you in mind when he opined that our Constitution was wholly inadequate to the government of any other than a moral and religious people.

I would think that's it's more of the principle of ownership of one's own body, and the legitimacy of government regulation of the use of that body.

Bereft of an intellectually coherent position, you are reduced to name-calling and slander!

How like a Tory!

Tar and feathers for you, Mr. 'conservative'!
