Let's call a spade a spade, the "war on drugs" and the "war on terror" is nothing more than an assault on the Constitution.
I don't see anything about the war on terror that constitutes an assault on the Constitution. That war is for our survival - if we don't fight it we have no rights at all under our enemy's thumb. The WoD on the other hand is just gratuitous violence, hypocrisy, and is the source of the most egregious violations of the Constitution. There's no equivalence.
The domestic "War on Terror" is assuredly a joke. But hunting and killing terrorists in their holes in Afganistan is what keeps us safe.
The problem is that Hom3Lamerz Security and the War on (some) Drugs makes the idea of risking one's life for this supposed "freedom" a joke, too. What sane person would sent his child to war for the sake of a government that will break down your door on the say-so of a dog?
The War on Terror -- or more accurately, the War on Islamixc Jihad -- is legitimate and necessary.
Rhe War on Drugs is a travesty and an outrage and terrible public policy.
Thank you for your honesty...the Constitution is VERY specific on the crimes the federal government has the authority to punish, & the 10th Amendment leaves everything else to the states to hash out among themselves as they people so desire. Thomas Jefferson did an excellent job @ listing them in his Kentucjy Resolutions, & since the time of its writing, there have been only a few more crimes added to the Constitution (slavery, & denying people the right to vote based on race or sex)...& THAT'S ALL.
Case closed.
