One gets the impression that to Obama it’s all about whether or not one gets caught instead of whether or not it’s legal.

Obama is an International Marxist! Individual rights mean nothing to him. Congressional power means nothing to him. Court authority means nothing to him. State rights mean nothing to him and if he’s successful in his global government ideals, national rights won’t mean anything to him either.

Ehhh.
Both Conservatives and Liberals have control freak tendencies.
It’s just a question of what each side endeavors to control.

Liberty means LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE, for those many of you who have forgotten. And many have.

The U.S. Constitution states EXACTLY what the government may regulate and control and tax, but drugs are NOT on that list. (Neither is education, energy, welfare, Medicare ... but I digress.) Hell, they knew they needed an Amendment to outlaw alcohol but today they can outlaw anything, right? Wrong.

Among other things, freedom means being free to make mistakes. If you wanna do something stupid, like drugs, then go right ahead but don’t interfere with anybody else’s rights. (And outside of driving under the influence, I defy anybody to tell me how drug use of any kind affects YOUR rights. If your kid is abusing drugs, then YOU need to fix it, not me.)

With all the laws and regulations being jammed down our throats, are we really free to do ANYTHING anymore? Or are we all just police-state junkies?

Video: Penn's Obama Rant

What troubles me about this... I think it's beyond hypocrisy. I think it's something to do with class. A lot of people have accused Obama of class warfare, but in the wrong direction. I believe this is Obama chortling with Jimmy Fallon about lower class people. Do we believe, even for a second, that if Obama had been busted for marijuana -- under the laws that he condones -- would his life have been better? If Obama had been caught with the marijuana that he says he uses, and 'maybe a little blow'... if he had been busted under his laws, he would have done hard f*cking time. And if he had done time in prison, time in federal prison, time for his 'weed' and 'a little blow,' he would not be President of the United States of America. He would not have gone to his fancy-a** college, he would not have sold books that sold millions and millions of copies and made millions and millions of dollars, he would not have a beautiful, smart wife, he would not have a great job. He would have been in f*cking prison, and it's not a god damn joke. People who smoke marijuana must be set free. It is insane to lock people up.

Says it all.
