We've lost it here too, just the big government crowd, and most conservatives can't let it go.

I would argue that we haven't started fighting it here. See my post #9. There is no real committment from the U.S. Government for winning the War on Drugs. If there was, it would have been over in 1992.

Here is one conservative, and not a Libertine, that understands there is just as much money and interest in continuing the war on the "law" side as there is on the "lawless" side that have a vested interest in continuing "the was".

Very little at the state and especially Federal level these days is as simple as "right and wrong".

And very few, if any, politicians operate on pure principle, unless we are talking about financial principle, these days.

Hate being such a "wet blanket" on a holiday.

But em are the facts as I see them.

Of course I have been becoming more and more cynical with age. Perhaps that is it and we really do have a "righteous society representing our Republic".

Are you referring to the illegal immigration problem?
