I find myself absolutely amazed that a pro illegal drug group is posting in this otherwise conservative forum, the Free Republic. I would think that you and they would be much happier posting in what I'm sure must be hundreds of pro drug usage forums out there. But I guess that to you that would be too much like preaching to the choir.

Instead you guys want to hang around our conservative forum preaching this drivel and somehow I guess hoping that we will all be converted to your cause.

It ain't gonna happen.

If you want to get an idea of what most freepers think of these pro drug related posts, just look at all the funny add ons that freepers are putting on the keywords section of this post.

As Jim Robinson said to tpaine:

Free Republic is a place for people to discuss our common goals regarding the restoration of our constitutionally limited republican form of government. If people have other agendas for FR, I really wish they would take them elsewhere. Thanks, Jim 226 posted on 2/7/02 4:01 PM Pacific by Jim Robinson

You pro druggies: Go find another forum.

I will leave this post now, so you pro drug guys can self righteously cluck your tongues to each other about what an anti drug nerd I am.

In addition, all posts from you druggies will be ignored.

The definition of the term "conservative" seems to be subject to opinion. There appear to be different interpretations. I would think that a forum where everyone just pats each other on the back and nods their head in agreement would be incredibly boring.

The pro-drug sites are wastelands, so they come here.

I'm not pro-drug, I'm anti-unconstitutional-drug-prohibitions, anti-jackbooted-thug-murderers, anti-nanny-state-we-need-to-protect-you-from-your-miserable-selves.

Perhaps you think multibillion dollar federal agencies, and above-the-law federal goons, which and who are not authorized in the Constitution, are somehow aligned with a limited, republican, Constitutional government, with only enumerated powers?

It's not your forum newbie.

Keep that in mind as you read about and learn the meaning of conservativism.

LOL!! You're a funny guy. 'Don't talk to me; I'm pouting'.

Answer this question: Why should any rational person believe that the the government can be the ally of the citizen?

Master, perhaps...servant, perhaps...ally--never!

It is plain on the face of it that the WOD is a criminal conspiracy to protect the revenues of illegal drug cartels.

I don't know where the argument is in this regard. Seriously.

JR did not post that remark to me.
If memory serves it was part of a longer, 'mission' type statement wherein JR was trying to cut down on all the sideline issues that distract the forum from its main goal of constitutional restoration.

Seeing that the war over drugs is a primary cause in many violations of our constitutional rights, it is certainly a topic worthy of discussion.
You drug warriors will at some point have to face the fact that prohibitionary law enforcement is a far greater constitutional evil than the 'sinning' such bans attempt to stop.

Here's an Anti-WOD post from Jim Robinson:

"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. "

Jim Robinson, 5/9/01

Personal attacks, petty (and not so petty) bickering, flame wars, feuding, etc.

I've never understood how people can fail to distinguish the fact the because some don't like the government's constitutional violations while ahem.."prosecuting" the "war" on drugs, that means that we are drug users/dealers/addicts.

I don't do drugs. I don't smoke. I hardly even drink anymore. But prohibition one didn't work. Prohibition two is failing as well.
