Interesting marriage of phrases.
So those who oppose the legalization, dissemination, and use of drugs are "pseudo-conservative"?
“So those who oppose the legalization, dissemination, and use of drugs are “pseudo-conservative”?”
No, but I dare say the Folks that through one side of their mouth preach the glories of smaller Government, yet out of the other side of the mouth preach the glories of the Drug War and it’s outlandish excesses might want to review whether they are or they are not “Conservative”
“So those who oppose the legalization, dissemination, and use of drugs are “pseudo-conservative”?”
Yes, like liberals they think they know how people should run their lives, and intend to force them to do so.
(And no, I don’t do drugs. NEVER have, in fact.)
There were no federal drug prohibition laws for the first 137 years of the Republic, and we did just fine. It was the first wave of busybody "Progressives" that pushed for the Harrison Narcotics Act (signed by Democrat Woodrow Wilson) in 1914. They also were partially responsible for Prohibition and the Volstead Act 5 years later (also signed by Woodrow Wilson), and the Marihuana Tax Stamp Act in 1937 (signed by the Left's original fave FDR, shortly after his failed attempt to pack SCOTUS with his sycophants).
Anyone who supports drug prohibition and claims to be a "conservative" is a hypocrite, as nothing empowers the iron fist of the authoritarian state more.
