I have been on FR for a few years. I have NEVER once seen a self-described L/libertarian “rush to argue for drugs”.

Well, maybe that isn't the best way to phrase it. I've been here since '01 and I cannot recall a single thread involving Libertarians where drug legalization did not eventually become the central issue, and where the most vigorous proponents of legalization were Libertarian posters.

Full disclosure: I was briefly a registered Libertarian. I made the error of getting involved with the local Libertarian activists. Big mistake. The people I met were universally pro-abort, pro-drug and anti-religious. I quickly left.

Hard to talk about other topics when your detractors glom on to just the one issue and won’t bother with any others.

Just like you are doing now, btw.

I am religious, but my faith is my own. I do not pretend to want my religion codified in Law. I am pro-life, “if it’s human, by definition then killing it is murder”. I do not do drugs, nor would I hire an addict, or associate with drug abusers.

None of which means a damn thing to the anti-libertarian types because I think the FedGov needs to stick 100% to their limited Art 1 Sec 8 powers. None of which allow them to have a DEA, FDA, BATFE, NSA, DHS, BATFE, DoE, or many of the powers they now claim.

Get stuck on the one issue. It makes it easier to ridicule you. You are missing the forest over one stunted tree.
