But you go ahead and blame the boogieman, Conservatives.
A stoned society is not productive and is your perversion of freedom.
Chicken Little nonsense - legality of the drug alcohol hasn't given us a "drunk society."
is not productive
An individual's productivity belongs to himself and not the government.
Real conservatives, follow the Constitution. Real conservatives follow their own moral guide, usually the Bible. They don’t make up fantasy and insert it at will, in either. The Constitution is a limiting document, nothing not written explicitly in it is even remotely constitutional. To invent powers within it, doesn’t just invite immorality, it is immorality.
I am not a Libertarian, not even a little, but I do believe in the rule of law, of which the federal and state constitutions are supreme over their respective laws. No federal law the not expressly authorized by the U.S.Constitution, or state law by state constitutions, is even slightly legal, or right, even if your your intentions were good. It’s not just similar to how leftist do things, its the exactly the way leftists justify their own statist ambitions.
If you want federal law to ban something it must be authorized, therefore amend it, it’s that simple.
Abortion is murder, no queston about it, it should be prosecuted as such. Sexual predators especially child predators should be treated the same as murderers, as far a I’m concerned, that would eliminate most of homosexuality right there. If some dope fiend commits a crime such as robbery, or murder or whatever, by a means prosecute them for those crimes, by abiding by those state laws.
While we’re on the subject, I would also get rid of most prisons. Someone convicted of a crime, should have to make recompense to that person, or perons. If not possible, or if you simply can’t be trusted to not harm others I believe you should be removed from society not by prison, but by execution. Also once recompense is made, you should be a full citizen once again.
All of these are still state powers not federal. The federal government basically exists to make sure we aren’t invaded, which they are not doing, and to make sure the states play somewhat nice with each other and their populaces, which it also isn’t doing. Also to provide for those abilities. Most everything else is up to the states. Most of the federal government’s actual constitutional duties it ignores, while destroying the powers of the people and states.
But please, go ahead and keep calling me lawless, because I believe the federal and state constitutions must be adhered to in all places, not just a chosen few. To do otherwise is lawlessness, and lawlessness invites more of the same.
