There is no right to regulate or ban either drugs or alcohol in the Constitution

George Washington and the Founding Fathers disagreed with your ill-informed viewpoint. Ever hear of the Whiskey Rebellion?

[tpaine]

The whiskey rebellion was mainly about taxes. - Read a book.

[Roscoe]

Only an idiot would think that you can tax an item without regulations.

Only an idiot would characterize WW's viewpoint as "ill-informed".

"George Washington and the Founding Fathers disagreed with your ill-informed viewpoint. Ever hear of the Whiskey Rebellion?"

Yup, I sure have. The Whiskey Rebellion wasn't about banning or regulating liquor--it was about laying and collecting a tax on it. Same logic as was used to TAX (not ban) fully automatic firearms when that law was passed back in the 1930's. And, just to reinforce the ACCURACY of the connection between the Drug War and the pending Gun confiscation, the fedgov has no Constitutional power to ban "assault weapons" either.

The Constitutionally illegal "War on Drugs" and the equally unConstitutional but just beginning "War on Guns" both point out that the anti-Federalists were right--the chains binding the federal government were NOT strong enough.

[Wonder Warthog]

"Not so, under the Supremacy clause, or under 'due process' of the 14th. - States can no more prohibit drugs, -- than they can guns. -- Study the threads posted article."

Well, I had in mind the pre-Civil War Constitution, but wrt the 14th Amendment, I agree with your (and Justice Harlan's) position

'Stan', -- I really wish you would avoid posting inane graphics.
It's a form of spamming a thread, imo. Please, if you object to something here, have the guts to say so. -- Unless you enjoy being in the same league as roscoe, cultural jihad, & cohort.

The Whiskey Rebellion wasn't about banning or regulating liquor

Stills had to be licensed, barrels had to stamped, logbooks had to be kept on site. Only an idiot would think that you can tax an item without regulations.

Thanks. -- And regards.

Ironic that US Grant was the president during the Whiskey rebellion ...

[tpaine]

Semantics

[Cultural Jihad]

Ironic that US Grant was the president during the Whiskey rebellion ...

LOL! Whiskey Rebellion: 1794.
Ulysses S. Grant: Born in 1822.
Bonus question: "Who is buried in Grant's Tomb?"

[clamper1797]

Ironic that US Grant was the president during the Whiskey rebellion ... = Ironic that US Grant was NOT the president during the Whiskey rebellion ....

It was meant as a joke

[Cultural Jihad]

President Grant(?) reviewing the troops during the Whiskey Rebellion

[Cultural Jihad]

It was (not) meant as a joke

OIC

Then you should realise that supporting the drug war works against your self interest.

Who said I support the drug war? Where are you reading THAT from? You're all over the road.

Legalization is not the way.

Sorry, the FACT that I do not agree with the legalization of drugs does NOT make me a socialist.

CJ, this is a major triumph for you & roscoe!!

You have proved, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that G. Washington was President before that whiskey soaked U.S. Grant even thought about stealing the strawberries.
