You seem to think there is something you need to enlighten me about, so for the last time: I understand the Big Lie. I also understand that it’s the Law of the Land. Done, period, finito. The whole thing is a house of bullshit put together so the rulers can rule. Two dweebs on a message board (or 2 million) won’t change that. The vast majoriy of Americans are ok with it. That doesn’t make it right, that just makes it real. So it goes.

It's one thing to repeat the Big Lie not knowing it's a lie.

It's something else altogether to repeat it knowing it's a lie, and then attack anyone who'd tell the truth.

If you're not a liberal troll sent here to discourage any talk of constitutional restoration, you're doing a very good impression of one.

I'll stick up for Wolfie: Wolfie's a solid citizen. If I may be so bold, I get the impression on the thread that he's saying "what is is what is, and you know what? It is because many conservatives have this exact blind spot when it comes to the War on Drugs that it is." You're saying the whole thing is illogical, unconstitutional, and should never have come about in the first place. You're both right.

We should fight the good fight all we can, but you know what? It's like screamin' at a wall. It's like kicking at the pricks. And like Wolfie, sometimes I get a sick satisfaction seeing conservatives squirm on this very issue. For me, it's where the rubber meets the road of conservatism: the federal government is either restricted to certain enumerated powers or it's not. If it is, you have to live with the notion that your personal bugaboo, whether it be drug use, porn, or what have you, is perfectly legal. If it's not, then you have to live with the notion that you're not a conservative, but a statist, i.e., a commie in conservative clothing.
