What you libertarians fail to understand is that your individual choices affect me, because you’re not an island. I don’t want to live in the kind of crap, third-world country that tolerates prostitution and heroin usage, because I know what sort of society results. For the same reason, I want to keep pot out.

And it’s not your government that’s telling you what to — it’s your fellow citizens. When pot legalization was put on the ballot here in California last time around, it failed.

So stop screaming about “the government” — the people of this country don’t want that noxious, evil weed legalized. Except you. And you only get one vote

That is so good - it deserves a repost in bold font.

Blue Ink - in case you didn't already know - you are arguing with two of the biggest lib hypocrites here at FR. While they themselves say they don't use these dangerous drugs, they are perfectly OK with others using them.

Kinda like welfare fraud. Or abortion. While they personally oppose it - they are OK with others taking part in these societal fuster-clucks.

That is morally evil. And yet they hate our SoCon values and attack us even on a conservative stie.

Ahh Well.

That is so good - it

has already been rebutted in posts 139 and 141.

No, nothing like those rights-violating acts.

That I am "OK with others taking part in these" is a baseless lie. THAT is morally evil.

Have a hankie. It's your stupid arguments I've attacked.

I have absolutely no problem with your SoCon values, friend. I simply have a problem with you enforcing your values on me through the exercise of government power. Just like you, for instance, may have a problem with the Homosexual Agenda enforcing its values on you through the exercise of government power. It's the exact same dynamic in action; you support it when the power acts in your favor, and rail against it when it does not.

That whole tyranny of the majority thing is lost on you, I guess. Sad, because I admire the passion with which you fight for your cause.

Me, a hypocrite? I practice what I preach. I oppose the government shoving the homosexual agenda down my throat for the same reason I'm pro decrim: it's none of the government's business in either case.

Remove the plank from you own eye before you concern yourself with the plank in mine, friend. It's your ideology that rests on a contorted and inconsistent footing, not mine.
