WND readers want pot legalized

I would disagree. Alcohol prohibition clearly shows that we have betrayed our Constitutional limits and assumed powers not Constitutionally granted. You may approve, but that doesn't make it Constitutional.

"Do not be decieved, neither the DRUNKARD, nor the adulter, nor the theif, nor the homosexual will enter the kingdom of Heaven." ....the Apostle Paul (appointed personally by Christ to bring the Gospel to the gentiles...Paul, a jew who had been making sure that Christians were thrown into prison or killed until he met Christ while on his way to arrest more Christians....I'll take Paul's words..

[Moby Grape]

And I disagree with you (suprise). I think you are guilty of "finding" hidden rights the way liberals do....according to liberals there is the right to abortion because each individual has a "right" to personal happiness....I share your strict Constitutional stand, but do not see the right for addictive drug taking in the wording.

....I share your strict Constitutional stand, but do not see the right for addictive drug taking in the wording.

If you feel the Constitution grants citizens rights instead of limiting government authority, you don't have an accurate understanding of the document. No disrespect intended

Is this one better for you?

Genesis 1:11-12
And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

I smell some rats! I wonder how many WND "readers" voted multiple times?

If it went the other way, would you be calling fraud? Are you really Al Gore? LOL

[Protagoras]

That might tend to keep it small scale and confined to small businessmen and farmers who aren't worth sueing....

As far as pot is concerned, If it were RElegalized, I'm guessing most folks so inclined would grow their own.

[Protagoras]

So, we light up and inhale our broccoli?

OH NO! Are they going to outlaw broccoli now?

[Destructor]

Oh, you again. I thought I dusted your ass off for good in our last little chat. I guess you're back for more, huh?

My chosen confirmation name was Paul. I need no lesson there. Firstly, alcohol not herb is what is written about. And Jesus turned water to wine. Certainly a drink will not keep you PERMANENTLY from heaven but, being a drunkard, as in always drunk, might. The Pope has said, "The Heaven in which we will find ourselves is neither an abstraction nor a physical place among the clouds." Instead, he added, it is a "living and personal relationship with the Holy Trinity" and a "blessed community of those who remained faithful to Jesus Christ in their lifetime, and are now at one with His glory". Sins can be forgiven! Sinners should not necessarily be imprisoned, have their property seized, their right to vote rescinded, or even forced to listen to secular reprogramming. These things are far worse sins upon this great nation when they happen to good citizens that stop to smell a flower in God's Garden.

I have read the Federalist Papers. I have read the documents of the Anti-Federalist. I have read the Constitution. You should not assume that if someone disagrees with your "interpretation" that they do not have a full grasp or understanding of the document. It is just this type of arrogance (unintended on your part, but inherent in many third party memebers) that drives so many from the affiliation with the third party movements. I go beyond the actual documents to the letters and essays of the Founders, particularly those written after the Constitution and Bill of Rights....for instance it is CLEAR from both the original documents and the essays of the Founders, that our nation's leaders intended that we NEVER have a national income tax...although liberals and democrats were successful in changing this, it was a terrible mistake, and the warnings of the Founders and the anti-Federalist have proven true regading a national income tax...my point is, that if there is success in getting an amendment that allowed legalization of addictive drugs, I do not think it matches the desires of the Founders. It is the words of the Founders in total that helps us to know the actual intent of the words in the document.

[Protagoras]

LOL, You thought wrong, as usual. The person who proclaims themselves victors, are just that, self proclaimed victors. The delude themselves. :-)

Thanks for the laughs Al Gore.

[Protagoras]

that if there is success in getting an amendment that allowed legalization of addictive drugs,

No such amendment is needed. Quite the opposite, an amendment to disallow such use is needed. Precisely like the one used for the equally disasterous first prohibition. Ignored in the second prohibition.

[Protagoras]

LOL, thanks again for the laughs kid. Anymore insults you wish to fling? I'm here for another hour or so, have at it.

You gain support among the folks here with each post. LOL

[Protagoras]

Hey kid! Ya never answered the questions. Take some time out from the 10th grade for a minute and give it a try.

They were; If it went the other way, would you be calling fraud? Are you really Al Gore?

The stats are totally plausible. I know boatloads of conservatives who want pot legalized, and none of them are pot heads that I know of. All the survey shows is that it isn't a defining issue for conservatives, even if a faction of the conservatives want it to be. Only a small minority of conservatives subscribe to the caricature of people supporting pot legalization being pot heads. There is a huge contingent of clean, straight-as-an-arrow, non-drug-using conservatives who are also in favor of drug legalization.

RE: I'm sure the real Thomas Jefferson would be rolling over in his grave with the knowledge that you were actively defaming his name with your stupidity.

Thomas Jefferson grew HEMP as did many of our founding fathers so the only thing rolling would be the herb!

That is one of many myths that surround a great man. According to Liberals (that are pressing a definate agenda)Thomas Jefferson supposedly fathered children by his slave woman Sally Hemmings. That was later disproven by genetic testing.
