Milton Friedman was consistently liberal on social issues so holding him up as the quintessential conservative isn't very convincing. He was pro-abortion, pro-prostitution and pro-pot.

He and others like him are why conservative movement is in trouble. They swallowed the liberal kool-aid on social issues. They're smart when it comes to the left and fiscal policy, but they're too stupid to realize that the left concentrated on social issues just as much if not more in order to change the minds and hearts of people.

So you think it is only leftist propaganda that changed people’s minds about marijuana? No one can look at the information about the subject and come to the conclusion it should be legalized absent the machinations of a vast left-wing conspiracy?

Do you not think that maybe there was a lot of propaganda around in the first place to make it illegal? Sure were/are a lot of monied interests in this country who wouldn’t like marijuana legal.
