Apparently there are more pot smoking wannabe hippies on the Right then I was aware off. Is the current Right, America's new Left? After all, the current Left is so far off the reservation they cannot be charted. It appears true conservatism is dead.
So seeing things like going after someone for a misdemeanor as a waste of public funds is anti-conservative?

I agree. I have noticed, especially in the last year, that there are many Freepers who are very pro-pot (they would claim to be pro-freedom, but the “freedom” is about drug use) and very anti-police. I know there are some bad cops, but most cops are basically decent people like most people. Many Freepers practically froth at the mouth over cops! Strange.
I think that many Freepers are conservative about money issues such as taxes, or national security, but become flaming leftists about pot, cops, pornography, and sex.
Coherent, comprehensive conservativism is no longer alive and well.
Since when is smoking pot indicative of one’s political values on just about anything other than they think that pot should be legal ? (well, in most cases. I’ve known a few idiot pot smokers who think the stuff should still be illegal)
I haven’t smoked pot since I was in high school, and that was 2 times, way way way back about 25 yrs ago.
