The government has no business in forbidding 'drugs' to citizens. If you believe otherwise, you're a socialist, plain and simple.
Exactly. And when conservatives become socialists they deserve the hottest place in hell.


Jim: Are the above comments a reflection of your intent when you voiced protest against the war on drugs (as quoted in this post)?

As I understand your words, objecting to a "war on drugs" in no way advocates liberal drug use. ???

I am opposed to drug (narcotics) use or trafficking, but I do not support the federal war on drugs. I don't think it passes constitutional muster. Crime fighting, including drug crimes (other than international smuggling, etc) should be left to the states and local jurisdictions. I also do not support no knock raids, asset forfeiture, unauthorized wire taps or snooping into bank accounts, etc. All unconstitutional.

Madam, since you asked, I am opposed to 'liberal drug use'.

However, it is not the Government's legitimate business to be managing people's consumption of goods.

You may differ; you may think that it is certainly the Government's job to do just that. That's not an unknown position - it's called 'socialism'.
