Hows that funny? It is entirely true.

What is funny is the amount of so called conservatives claiming they love liberty and freedom, and then throwing away their so called values and supporting liberalization of the government.

Thats funny and sad at the same time.

Well you need to understand the desperation, my FRiend - the desperation that drives ordinary, freedom-loving people to go so far as to empower their government to inaugurate a “war” on drugs. Desperate people do foolish things, like granting power to those who will abuse it.

Now ask yourself, “why on earth are they so desperate?” Isn’t it because we know what happens to our kids, our parents, our neighbors when they become addicts? Do we want that sort of effect becoming ever more commonplace, rotting our communities? our states? our country?

Today we have “dry” counties and “wet” counties. Isn’t it in our purview to determine for ourselves what sort of community we’ll have? Of course we should begin with a presumption of liberty. But that doesn’t mean liberty is a trump card for the settling of every question.
