The Drug Wars

Friends of Ours ^

[AtlasStalled]

The failure to secure the border to prevent illegal drugs from entering into the United States from Mexico in the first place is inexusable. The Mexican drug cartels have established distribution networks and supply lines in at least 230 American cities, and the enforcement violence among the rival cells has been brutally incessant in Phoenix, Atlanta and Houston. The governors of Arizona and Texas have requested national guard troops to secure their borders only to be rebuffed by resident Barack Obama who "said that now is not the time to send troops":

"We've got a very big border with Mexico," Mr. Obama told a group of reporters in Washington. "I'm not interested in militarizing the border."

Isn't the primary job of the President to secure our national security?

Why doesn’t that surprise me?

Great comment...
What is your solution?

[microgood]

And why won't people quit? Because they're weak pathetic morons.

What this means, however, is that anyone who drinks alcohol is a weak pathetic moron. Certainly during prohibition they were (since it was illegal and they did it anyway) and since you cannot go from being a pathetic moron to not being one just because they repeal a law, that means everyone who drinks alcohol is a pathetic moron.

I don’t drink.

Do you? LOL

[microgood]

Do you? LOL

Absolutely. But we should probably outlaw it anyway. Then we could have raging border wars both in the north and south.

They want the Feds to pick up the tab. The guv has to pay for a state call-up. If Federal expenditures are ever appropriate for anything, it oughta be for this.

Won’t quibb;e on that. Maybe the bail out money should all be directed to National Guard units ;)
