Ah Chicago, a hell of town.

[Colonel Kangaroo]

It’s nice that he offered Reagan a special place in Chicago. Civility is not dead after all.

[Terry Mross]

I thought the “war” on drugs was more Elder Bush than Reagan. Reagan’s war on drugs was Nancy telling everyone to just say no.

It took me a minute but LOL anyway.

Drugs, the opiate of the masses ...er wait.

“Reagan deserves a “special place in hell” for his role in “making drugs political.””

Not only is this woman a low-class hack, she doesn’t know bleep about the history of the subject. The War on Drugs as we know it today really began with LBJ, and escalated under Nixon. Every President since then - Democrat and Republican -, has taken the same basic approach. It is true Reagan got some noticeably strict legislation passed into law, but the issue was no more or less political than it was under any of the previous administrations.

I guess she believes in Obama’s approach......refuse to protect our borders, let a bunch of illegals in from God knows where and arm the cartels with thousands of ‘automatic weapons’.

Rolling Stone Magazine, Mother Jones, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, and many others on the political left have been quite critical of Obama for his war against medical marijuana, with some of them saying that he's worse than Reagan, W., or any other President:

The biggest current obstacles to medical marijuana are President Obama and the progressives on the Supreme Court

“It is true Reagan got some noticeably strict legislation passed into law, but the issue was no more or less political than it was under any of the previous administrations.”

And when the Colombians turned Miami of the 1980’s into Chicago of the 1920’s it was Reagan’s DOJ that helped to clean it up. South Floridians who were not involved in the drug trade were thankful.

If a white person criticizes a black President, its racism. If a black person critisizes a white President, its OK.

[popdonnelly]

If the Democrats would stop buying drugs, there’d be less of a drug problem.

[Figment]

Preckwinkle? That can’t be a real name. None of the males of that family would have survived junior high

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Nachum.

[stboz]

War on drugs?

I have to think about Tom Clancy's Clear and Present Danger.

Too much money involved to really put up a real fight. Gun Walker is a sympton.

[isom35]

yuck, I did a google image search on preckwinkle (stupidest name I’ve heard all week). I should not have.

[Volunteer]

Toni certainly is a Preck.....

[glock rocks]

I had a preckwinkle removed once. Cost me a $25 copay, and they gave some Demerol to take home.

The cocaine cowboys and the violence was orchestrated by a woman.

She named her son Michael Corleone.

” - - - Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, a Democrat, said her language Tuesday was “inflammatory,“ but stood by her criticism - - - “

One cannot get more typically Democrat than Toni P.

[DemforBush]

Agreed. I wasn’t being critical of Reagan’s policies in my previous post. I was just trying to point out that the twit in Chicago has no idea of what she’s talking about.
