The purpose of FreeRepublic is not to proselytise for drug legalization.

Nor is it a site to shill for the totally unconstitutional federal War on Drugs.

The owner of this site agrees with the libertarians on that issue: this was also noted at post #76 on this thread (I also brought this to your attention at post #1838, but apparently you weren't paying attention).

And Libertarians are not druggies. Libertarians call for an end to the drug war. There is understandable logic behind this. There is nothing in the U.S. Constitution that authorizes the federal government to wage war against the citizens of the United States, no matter how well-meaning the intent. The Bill of Rights means just as much today, as it did on the day it was written. And its protections are just as valid and just as important to freedom today, as they were to our Founders two hundred years ago. The danger of the drug war is that it erodes away those rights. Once the fourth amendment is meaningless, it's just that much easier to erode away the first and then the second, etc. Soon we'll have no rights at all.

Thanks,

And, just in case you need a reminder ...

Free Republic is an online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse {as in $20B annually for the federal WOD} , to root out political fraud and corruption {as in the incalculable damage done to the credibility of law enforcement by the federal WOD} , and to champion causes which further conservatism in America {as in working to reduce the size and scope of the federal government} . And we always have fun doing it. Hoo-yah! {almost 2,000 posts to this thread and still going! :-)}
