“Libertarians arguments all resolve to “I want to smoke dope””
the usual slander of so-called conservatives to discredit real conservatives, ie libertarians.
If you are not for smaller, Constitutional, government, you have no right to call yourself a conservative. The war on drugs is only one of a multitude of activities that the government needs to cease and desist to be Constitutional.
Exactly. If you believe in freedom as a moral concept then then extending that liberty and freedom to others means that sometimes you’re going to have to allow folks to do things you don’t agree with. Allowing them to do it doesn’t mean you support it, it just means you oppose controlling others. At the same time, society owes you the same respect and should not control you. Government intervention and control isn’t okay simply because its intentions are something we agree with... government intervention and control is wrong whenever it extends beyond the purpose of keeping the peace.
Dope is against the law for good reason.
I’ll will report any dope smokers, injectors or snorters in my neighborhood.
I love how breaking the law for illegals is bad, yet Libertarians think they are special.
Libertarians are not libertarian by definition by the way, and far from conservative.
Good post.
The problem is that too many people who think they are conservative still long to force their idea about morals onto the rest of the country. If you are for freedom then you must be against the war on drugs. It has hurt our freedom as much, if not more, as anything else the left has done to us.
