Oh it’ll come back. The freedom - control pendulum swings back and forth. Won’t come back in our lifetime, but it’ll be back.

For patriotism’s moment to arrive the first thing that’ll have to happen is for the government to stop treating the people as the enemy. There’s really not much reason to a patriot in the current America that is actively spying on you hoping for the chance to throw you in jail.

Shortly after ConservingFreedom signed up, I recognized him as a retread troll. I’ve advised the mods and Jim Rob, but CF is still here.

Still here with his primary message of “drugs are good”.

” I also live in the city, and understand that pot is the primary food group for the human wreckage that collectively constitutes the social problem.

Which has come about despite the illegality of marijuana.

So making it MORE AVAILABLE will make things BETTER!! “

A lot of “libertarians” want dope legalized. They also want open borders. Illegal immigrants are everywhere, yet they are against the law, and the law hasn’t worked well. So lets let all the illegals in. Hundreds of millions of them.

Let’s see who else’s “moment has arrived”. Umm. “Openly gay” homosexuals and other sexual deviants, atheists, ISIS, HamAss, “unaccompanied” illegal alien invaders, Islamoterroris, Islamofascists, Nazis, commies, DemocRATS, pedophiles, polygamists, al Qaeda, Iranian nuke builders, tax anything and everything politicians, BULL**** and, a “fundamentally transformed” world. Geez. Aren’t we lucky?!

The propaganda-addled reefer madness generation is dying off. Simple demographics.

pot heads are functionally wards of the state

Even the DEA admits that 75% of illicit drug users are employed: http://www.justice.gov/dea/pr/multimedia-library/publications/speaking_out.pdf.

I didn’t say that. But making it so that everybody who buys allergy medicine is inviting having the DEA kick in their door certainly isn’t going to make Johnny a patriot. The modern version of Kennedy’s speech is “ask not what you can do for your country, ask what your country IS doing to you”.

Good for them — You hire the pot heads.

We don’t want them!!!

Go peddle you’re crazy somewhere else, we’ve got plenty.

There is a reason why the military still has a zero tolerance policy on illegal drugs

Nothing about legalization would prevent the military, or any other employer, from retaining a zero-tolernace policy on any mind-altering substance.

I wonder what percentage of alcoholics are employed?

I know, I know........25% unemployed is cool, and dope is so much fun, man.

Why Marijuana's moment has arrived is the same reason Abortion has arrived.

It is the same reason why Homosexuals are now prancing out of the closet demanding respect and obedience.

It is the same reason why US Financial Liabilities are 140 trillion dollars.

It is the same reason why 50% of children born now are fatherless bastards.

It's the same reason why Utter F***ing Lunatics like Nancy Pelosi and Obama came to power.

It's the same reason why Israel is regarded as the bad guys while everyone pities those poor Gazans.

It's the same reason why NASA main mission now is outreach to Arabs instead of space exploration.

It's the same reason why Sarah Palin is considered the "Stupid" one by all the National News Services and Entertainers.

It's the same reason why John Kerry, American traitor, rides a little pink girl's bike.

It's the same reason why Iran is about to get a Nuclear weapon with which they will kill hundreds of thousands if not millions of people.

It's the same reason why Bill Ayers is free and enjoying life.

It's the same reason why thousands of pot heads are constantly taking to their keyboards and declaring the right to get stoned as having something to do with "freedom."

It's the same reason why Judges are ruling that "gay" marriage is a constitutional right.

It's the same reason that Muslims are taking over Europe.

It's the same reason why we are on the verge of having a World War III.

It is because our population has become so ignorant and stupid that both Darwin and God have decided to throw us all a big "Die-Off" party because we have become too stupid and too evil to survive.

The time is now, because never before in our history have we ever had so many clueless idiots running around.

“Why marijuana’s moment has arrived”

Because the insanely stupid, lazy, ignorant, pathetic outnumber the sensible American patriots — We are doomed.

Hell...hand basket...you get the idea.

"Where are we going and why are we riding in this hand basket?"
