I believe I’m pretty conservative and many might even label me “reactionary”. Maintaining the death penalty in the face of escalating costs to do so is not a conservative position, by definition. Conservatism also applies to resources and wasting resources to fight a losing battle isn’t conservative or smart. Choose to win the war which is to keep society safe from those who endanger us.
JMO and medical marijuana is only the camel’s nose, IMO. If I wanted to live in CO, I’d move there.

I agree.
I also don't trust the government enough to give it power over life and death. That's a mistake that can never be undone.
