Liberty means that people have the rights to make up their own mind on issues instead of having the government dicate what is acceptable.

So the founding fathers thought liberty meant you could smoke hemp but that you were not allowed to not grow it on your own land?

Liberty seems to be a highly subjective concept. My definition doesn't include allowing the free trade of intoxicants any more than it includes bringing back cigarette ads on TV game shows.

So is advertising your main concern about legalizing marijuana?

Really? You ought to look up the word liberty. It definitely does not mean what you think it means. What you're describing is authoritarianism. That's not conservative by any stretch of the imagination.

In case you hadn't noticed, our governing and social organizing systems today, bear only the slightest resemblance to the tenets laid down in our Founding Documents. The Framers would be aghast at the personal liberties we've allowed to be stolen from us.

Liberty is only a "subjective concept" if you're a left liberal who's comfortable with the Doublespeak of the New World Order.
