You are a spaced out dope head that is wired to the gills right now.
Polygamy is very much a topic today as is the idea of redefining homosexual relationships as “marriage”
The tea party isn’t saying that everything should be legal as long as it isn’t federal.
Do you think that the tea party is pro polygamy, and wants to leave it to the states?
This bill isn’t Libertarian. Ron Paul isn’t Libertarian.
This bill is Limited Constitution Government.
The Tea Party is Limited Constitutional Government.
Ron Paul is Limited Constitutional Government.
This bill lets the states decide.
These are conservative principles.
They already do. Check your own state laws.
I would say that's being 'wrong on purpose.'
Alcohol and marijuana are different. There is no purpose (other than rare medicinal reasons) for marijuana other than getting high. If one has a glass of wine with a meal, the purpose is taste, not a 'buzz.' In fact, if you're eating, there isn't any buzz at all.
Marijuana is a harmful drug, often leading its users into harder drugs (the point of the dealers), and it should not be legalized, and Ron Paul is just exhibiting his lack of conservatism once again by working together with the far left to sponsor this bill.
I don’t think that polygamy is relevant to what we’re talking about here.
The heart of conservatism is preserving our culture and traditional America, not leftists anti-conservative suicide pacts.
You guys and the rest of the left have made extraordinary radical gains in the last 50 years, and we are a shell of what we used to be, because of it.
Fruit and Nut...... LMAO
I'm glad that you made that confession here on a conservative board, where the goals are overall conservatism, including moral conservatism, and where conspiring with leftists is frowned on.
If you think that limited government is all there is to conservatism, then you are only a fraction of a conservative.
And as a social conservative, I'd say you're devoid of some of the most critical elements of the conservative movement.....and therefore not much of a conservative at all.
Do you agree that an individual state like South Dakota should be able to outlaw abortion?
Have you been paid to promote this leftist bill for lib Paul?
I know he pays people to vote for him, so I assume he also pays people to infiltrate conservative forums and post the kind of propaganda you've been posting here.
Are you a paid employee, or just a lackey?
Yes. Why?
Of course it is, tell us about the tea party and polygamy.
Untaxed by the government.
Well, I guess what I mean is she going to listen to the
social conservative “drugs are bad” argument, or is she going to listen to the tea party “limited constitutional government” argument.
It is easy to argue that you’re both a tea party conservative and a social conservative. But only if you take the tea party position. You say, the Federal Government shouldn’t be involved, but I’d vote to keep marijuana illegal, and I think that most states should keep it illegal. If I was Governor, I’d keep it illegal. But, the Federal Government should be out of this. I’m voting to limit the power of the federal government, voting to make the federal government smaller. All standard conservative positions.
Not the Irving Kristol doesn’t like McGovern’s foreign policy, so his ideas get called conservative by a socialist
positions. Limited Constitutional Government is the True Conservative wing of the Republican Party.
Wrong on all counts.
I support what I believe in regardless of who else supports it.
They are not that much different.
Used responsibly and in moderation, they do not cause any problems for a great many adults. I don’t think anyone has suggested either is OK for children. Not relevant.
Alcohol is a intoxicant, addictive and a “gateway drug”.
The harm caused to society by it’s abuse far outweighs the harm caused by pot.
The harm caused by trying to eliminate it’s use outweighs the harm the drug itself has caused.
One can kill you all on it’s own simply by overuse, the other does not.
Don’t take my word for it, please do some research on your own.
I want to see the vote because this is devisive for Dems. Those who see what drugs to to the inner city are against this so the party will split on this.
I've been part of the movement from the beginning, and there weren't any libertarians making up rules. It has always been a grass roots movement involving all kinds of conservatives, but especially those of us who are across the board conservatives, and not, shall I say, "limited" conservatives as you are.
I still want an answer to the question as to whether or not you have been paid to post these robotic responses, expressing an incomplete and inaccurate view of what the Tea Party is all about.
Ron Paul is far too liberal to be the face of the Tea Party movement. And this bill proves it in spades.
I’ve been here longer than you have.
I’m just like everyone else here. You’ll see me defending Palin on many a post. I like Bachmann as well. I don’t like the establishment candidates. So, you’ll find we there attacking them. Isn’t that what everybody does?
I guess for some reason, you didn’t realize that the central core of the tea party is limited constitutional government.
And that this bill is exactly limited constitutional government.
