You said — You’re a statist it appears. I thought conservatism was being for less government. I guess not.

Yeah, I guess being against murder, theft, assault, abortion, and all sorts of other things, including illegal drugs — would be disconcerting to those who wish to engage in murder and mayhem and illegal activities... LOL...

So, you’re comparing smoking pot to murder then.

No wonder we lose so many elections.

I thought one of the points of Free Republic was to push for less government.

Well, the Republican party does contain some buffoons who want
to make or keep things they don’t like illegal. The media points shows those buffoons to young people, says “the Republicans say they want less government, but these buffoons are Republicans. Are the Republicans really for less government?” And it becomes difficult for Republicans to get the message out that they’re the party of less government. And we don’t get the votes of certain young people who are for less government, but aren’t up on all the issues.

The problem is we have not gone far enough. We need to outlaw alcohol, cigarettes, caffeine and a lot of other dangerous things like motorcycles, bicycles, boats, mountain climbing, camping, and of course guns.

But there is nobody dumber than a alcohol drinker. If you go to a bar sober and watch the people, it blows your mind how stupid they all are. Pot smokers are rocket scientists even when high compared to alcohol users.
