Your claim about drugs is ridiculous. Just because someone is not for regulating drugs, it doesn't mean they actively want people to do drugs. There are lots of things that are not regulated, like rap music, but no one in the govt wants to ban them. You can disapprove of something and not engage in that life-style without banning it for everyone. You cannot be a conservative because you don't believe in self-government. If you believe in self-government you govern yourself first before you govern others. All you are saying is that you are too weak to govern yourself and want some other entity to regulate things in life. That is faith and trust in big government - something that liberals like. But, then again, who am I to judge? I am just a conservative.
