Witchcraft & smoking are 'direct theats' only in the stange minds of communiarian prohibitionists

Its interesting how the darkest chapters of American history like witchcraft and other religious persecutions are pointed to as justification for similar mobocratic tyranny that goes on today.

Fortunately, these local tyrannies were quickly extinguished in early America by way of free republican institutions such as jury nullification and separation of governmental powers. Even slavery was being dismantled by these means. Before the knaves could bring us the civil war, they had to destroy these republican institutions first:

Modern knaves such as Roscoe can't even remember their anti-republican predecessors' hatred for these free institutions (such as that of Judge Peleg Sprague) and now 100% of their own hatefulness may be utilized in modern pogroms--and continue completely unchecked.

mobocratic tyranny

Because they reject the moronic position of liberals and libertarians equating doing drugs with the right to keep and bear arms?

Your cult's hatred of our nation, its laws and it citizenry is as predictable as it is impotent.

Good points. -- But don't forget the other 'knaves' on this thread who have defended the prohibitionary philosophy, their unlisted 'states rights' cohort, plus all the drug warriors at FR who refuse to acknowlege that their support of the WOR's is eroding away our liberty.

"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."
