[Republic of Reagan]

"You ever notice how these guys are all about self-reliance and personal responsibility on every issue except drug abuse? When they call for an end to the War on Citizens Drugs they'll get my dollars and votes."

"The quintessential Libertarian argument for drug legalization is that people should be allowed to do what they want with their own bodies even if it ruins their lives. But that's not true. Back on earth, we live in a country that will not allow people to live with their own stupid decisions. Ann has to pay for their stupid decisions." - Ann Coulter

As always, Ann sums it up best.

While I love Ann to death, she is flat out wrong with this quote. This argument is the same one people use for seat-belt laws. "If someone hurts themselves, we are all responsible." That reasoning leads to the complete societal control of every aspect of individual life so as not to harm society. The problem with "liv[ing] in a country that will not allow people to live with their own stupid decisions" is a problem of socialism, not stupid decisions. You correct the problem by removing the socialistic tendencies of the country, not by removing people's right to make stupid decisions.

Excellent! I know people that don't work but suck off the government tit that are alcoholics. The government should not be buying their booze and cigarettes. Make them work if they are able bodied and want to purchase these things.
