Do you think the feds will confiscate his property soon?

Doing your tired contrarian bit, huh Fred.

Please tell me whose lives, Rush has ruined, other than his own and Marta's.

Did he break into a house with a gun, shoot an old lady, and steal money?

No, he didn't, but what the hey, you always got to bring your and best buddy's, who hangs out alone in an internet bar, "wisdom", into the picture.

Fred, you never cease to amaze.

Many drug users have done none of those things, yet face the threat---and sometimes the reality---of imprisonment and property confiscation. Are you saying that drug users who do not violate the rights of others should be left alone? Or just Rush?

It's likely he hasn't ruined Marta's or his own life yet, or at the very least it remains salvageable. With a little luck and a little faith he may come out stronger after all.

Careful Dane, my old friend, you're bordering a victimless crime stance here. :) In this instance, and as well that of Bill Bennett, vice is its own punishment.

So, Mr. Drug Warrior, are you making the case that peaceful drug users who do not violate the direct rights of others, should be allowed to lawfully ingest drugs?

So you're okay with coke addicts snorting to their heart's content, as long as you're not harmed by it?

This would be quite the reversal of your previous position inre: the dangers of drugs to society, both directly and indirectly.

What about the profits Rush bestowed upon his dealer? He made a drug dealer rich. He also induced (allegedly) his housekeeper to engage in illegal behavior. That's some harm being committed -- sucking in others to support his addiction.

In addition, the now-wealthy drug dealer is an example to kids in his neighborhood, that selling hillbilly heroin makes you rich, and you get to sell it to rich people.

Rush is helping to destroy a nation with his promotion of the illegal drug trade.

And you're sitting here, defending him???!?!??!?!

Ah, the world is upside down.

I thought abusing drugs equated with supporting terrorism; at least that's what that ONDCP television commercial drummed into my head.

[The KG9 Kid]

Does your kindhearted support for Rush Limbaugh's addiction to 'hillbilly heroin' pills mean that we won't be seeing you in the 'War On (some) Drugs' threads anymore calling for the execution of people caught with more than an ounce of marijuana?

Don't say that you've never said it, because you have.
