You’ve struck a nerve again. Funny, it never fails to draw out the statists when the topic of Prohibition II comes up. All their fancy talk about “smaller, less intrusive government” goes right out the window when it comes to what THEY don’t like. Consistency is utterly foreign to them as a concept. And they wonder why they can’t keep hold of the reins of power.
To paraphrase Churchill (I believe), it’s the job of progressives to make all these monumental screwups, whilst it’s the job of conservatives to keep them from being corrected.
Good post. Bull’s eye.
