I’ve got maybe five or six major issues with pubbies while pretty much everything dems ever think about doing is some sort of an issue with one or two exceptions. But the “war on drugs” is the biggest issue with pubbies. No nation can afford this sort of BS forever.

It's from Ayn Rand but I screwed up trying to get it into the tagline window. I'll keep trying. :-)

"It only stands to reason that where there’s sacrifice, there’s someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there’s service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of service and sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.” -- Ayn Rand
