How do you know the author is a "pothead"? And where does the article show the lack of reason that you imply?

I'm amazed at the folks who think they can give back handed insults, e.g. your statement or the ban on online gambling, to libertarians, and then cry in their beer when the GOP loses Congress last November. IIRC, Conrad Burns in Montana and George Allen in Virginia lost their Senate seats by margins that were less than the votes in the Libertarian column in each state.

If you like irony, the author of the ban on online gambling in the House, Jim Leach, also lost his seat. Self identified conservatives are about one third of the electorate. Self identified small 'l' libertarians are about ten to fifteen percent of the electorate. We have more than enough enemies without alienating part of the GOP big tent.
