...just this once why don't you libertarians eliminate the government subsidy FIRST, before we give another body blow to our culture and social structure?

I'm not a libertarian so I guess I shouldn't answer that question ... but I will. What's wrong with fighting for all liberty all the time?

Here...lets expand a few minds:

Sarah Palin: Smoking Pot Is No Big Deal

Sarah Palin says recreational pot smoking is “relatively speaking a minimal problem” in America.

In an otherwise uneventful appearance on the Fox Business Network with Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, Palin said that while she doesn’t believe marijuana should be legalized, the country has bigger fish to fry.

“I think we need to prioritize our law enforcement efforts,” she said. “If somebody’s gonna smoke a joint in their house and not do anybody any harm, then perhaps there are other things our cops should be looking at to engage in and try to clean up some of the other problems we have in society.”

Allen St. Pierre, the director of NORML, which supports liberalizing drug laws, said Palin’s position on pot is perfectly in line with her identity as a politician.

“If you’re a populist as she appears to be, it’s maybe not that surprising,” he told AOL News in a phone interview today.

But has the former Republican vice presidential candidate ever lit up a joint?

You betcha. In Alaska, it was legal to smoke small amounts of marijuana until four years ago, and Palin has said that she’s tried it but didn’t like it.

“I can’t claim a Bill Clinton and say that I never inhaled,” she told the Anchorage Daily News in 2006.

You and the lefties have been winning the war against conservatism for 50 years, and it has driven us into the gutter, and into socialism and government control of our lives, and culture, let's take a moratorium on the anti-social conservative victories of the left and libertarians, and concentrate on welfare and economics for a while.

Calling liberalism libertarian, enables the left to double team conservative America from every angle, yet with the same goals.
