We treat it as a law enforcement problem, not a National Security problem.It shouldn't even be a law enforcement problem. It was made a law enforcement problem through bigotry, plain and simple! And if you honestly believe that the drug use by approx. 5% of the population is a "National Security problem" then you're just plain delusional!
The U.S. needs to go after the producers and suppliers of drugs with the full force and might of our military.Dear G-D, you have no concept of what Posse Comitatus is, do you? And you call yourself a conservative?
We need to crush these vermin the same way we are taking out AL Queda. These clowns are also terrorists.Oh, you're one of those "body count" types, eh? How about this "oldie but goodie"...
Don't Let a Few Innocent Deaths Stop the Drug War!!Just
one of
many innocents you've helped kill by your support. Just acceptable collateral damage, right?
What unmitigated ignoramuses people like you are! And before I go about thrashing the rest of your BS read this
Freidman interview, who IMO has far more knowledge and practical solutions than your "Kill "Em All" attitude!
Tobacco has not turned the inner cities of this country into war zones, drugs have.
No, the inflated price of drugs -due to them being black market items - has turned the inner cities of this nation into war zones. (your use of "country" instead of "nation" indicates a liberal leaning)
Tobacco does not cause a mother to leave her children to fend for themselves for days at a time because she had to go out and find a fix.
Maybe "Sugar Daddy" with his big wad of cash does it for some women. Maybe Piss Pot Pete has the "fix" she might be craving. Maybe one woman's "fix" isn't the same as another's.
Tobacco has not caused turf wars between rival gangs who kill inocent people during their drive by shootings.
See above about the black market.
Tobacco is not being smuggled across our borders by the ton, while our ranchers and land owners have to clean up the destruction left on their land by the mules bringing it across.
You're right. Tobacco isn't being smuggled across our borders by the ton because it's a legal product. However illegal aliens by the thousands, who sponge off of the socialistic welfare system established by foolish liberals, are smuggled across our border, smuggled in by greedy coyotes. There are far more illegals than "mules" by a long shot. Cast blame where it properly belongs. Also, if things keep going as they are the developing black market for cigarettes will develop and then tons of tobacco will start to be smuggled in.
Tobacco is not turning our schools into cespools, drugs are.
You're right and you're wrong. The liberals are at it again. Have your kids been assigned to read the book Heather Has Two Mommies yet? Have your children been properly educated sexually including transgenderism and subjects such as fisting? Get the point? Something along the lines of liberal educators...
You really need to get your priorities right as to where blame lies.
When I read drivel like yours I automatically get the mental image of the atypical and stereotypical old coot sitting on his porch with his mason jar of moonshine bitching about how bad things are, in his point of view and how much better things were "in my day".
Have a nice day!
What the hell does Posse Comitatus have to do with going after the Columbian and Mexican drug cartels? I am a conservative, my beliefs on the Drug war do not change that fact. I don't see what good the leagalization of drugs would do. What benefit would it bring? The same clowns I knew in High School who were the druggies, are still the druggies, they have done nothing with their lives, except leach off my tax money. Why should I have to pay for some worthless no good lazy jackass whose only goal in life is to remain stoned out of his mind 24-7?
Yes our school system sucks, and it can't all be contributed to drugs, but it can contributed to the dumb assed attitude, that you should do whatever you think feels good, the rest of the world be damned. I spend alot of my time undoing what liberal ex hippie teachers pump into my kids, and alot more of my time keeping them away from drug pushing losers who would like nothing more than to corrupt them with your screw it lets get stoned attitude. As for your old coot comment, I'm 38 years old, I don't have a porch, and I don't bitch about how bad things are now compared to how they were in my day. I actually think things are pretty good and will get better, because we will beat the Liberals/Socialists, and any day I can go hunting or fishing with my kids is a great day. We will always disagree about the drug issue, but that does not make us enemies. I guarantee we agree on 95% of all other issues.
