It's been very useful in showing that you have no sound, coherent argument for drug criminalization.
As I’ve said, I’ve proved my point that you do not have a right to do that which harms others and that leads to societal decay.
What you've failed to do is show that drug relegalization either harms others or leads to societal decay.
It is obvious at this point that I was correct, that you are just a liberal, and one of those liberals that is entirely self-indulgent,
Since I don't use even currently legal recreational drugs (alcohol, tobacco), it's hard to make out how I'm "self-indulgent."
the complete elimination of all codes of morality that voluntarily restrict harmful behavior.
Completely wrong - I want the complete elimination of all codes of LAW that INvoluntarily restrict behavior that is at worst only SELF-harmful. I'm all in favor of the voluntarily restrictions of codes of morality.
The Christians I know know not to tempt the devil, to play with darkness, to toy with sin.
Saying that the prevention of sin is not the proper nor effective province of government is not "to toy with sin."
“Saying that the prevention of sin is not the proper nor effective province of government is not “to toy with sin.”
It is the proper province of CHRISTIANS to protect that element of the culture that best reflects Biblical values.
That is the darkness you are toying with.
And if you flirt with the darkness, eventually it will overcome you. And if you extend that to your nation, eventually it will infold that nation.
And don’t try to pretend that your claim that you don’t personally use drugs recreationally absolves you of what you are doing to others. If you loading a pistol with one bullet and hand that gun to others to play Russian roulette (especially children), you are responsible for what happens to them.
And Jim Robinson — as all true conservatives know — that what Jim posts as the definition of conservatism comes from the Founding Fathers, who understood what I’ve been saying all along, that liberty will only endure as long as there is a moral code of voluntary individual restraint. The Founding Fathers relied on the Christian Church to carry that message to the people to safeguard liberty. You are a part of that group of 1960’s radical leftists (whether you know it or not and whether you acknowledge it or not) that is subverting “the establishment” and primarily that cultural code of ethics that has safeguarded our liberty for over 200 years. Your course of action, while you call it move toward greater liberty, has been proving to be (since the Progressive began their assault on traditional America) the destruction of our liberties. When their leftist actions lead to greater problems, their solution is always greater government control.
Just say no to nannies? Sure thing. But you need to understand that you are ideologically in bed with those nannies you claim to despise.
