I totally agree with Buckley on this. I don’t see how any conservative who believes in limited government and individual rights could possibly approve of the failed “War On Drugs”.

Wait a second. Doesn’t this opinion label Buckley as an insane libertarian and an enemy of all that is good and decent in society?

At least that what some of the “deep thinkers” on the fr say. How does this square with his status as one of the greatest conservatives ever? Maybe some people are a lot dumber than they think.

As HL Mencken said, “The sort of man who wants his ideas to be forced on others is usually the sort of man whose ideas are idiotic.”

That quote clearly shows how much conservatism has changed since his time.

It now embraces government as the tool for all problems, just like the libs.
