Re: Grassley Hoping to Keep Medical Marijuana Illegal

Kirkmuse — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 08:00:43 -0000

Is Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley on the payroll of the drug cartels?
Probably.

The notorious gangster Al Capone made most of his
illegal money from alcohol prohibition. Capone had dozens of
politicians on his payroll. Is it unreasonable to suspect that the drug
cartels are following Capone's business model?

What type of politicians would the drug cartels have on their payroll?
Politicians who urge the status quo of drug prohibition, or politicians
who suggest that we re-legalize drugs to put the drug cartels out of
business?

Re: Daily 49er - Our View-War on Drugs wasting $600 per second

The so-called war on drugs is a huge industry and huge bureaucracy.
Victory in the drug war is not possible, nor is it the goal. Victory in
the drug war would mean that the drug war industry and bureaucracy are
out of business.

There are basically two types of people who support the so-called war on
drugs:

Those who make their livelihood from it. This includes politicians and
bureaucrats who are probably on the payroll of the drug cartels. (Al
Capone had hundreds of politicians and prohibition officials on his
payroll.)

Suckers - taxpayers who have bought into the lies and propaganda of the
drug-war industry and bureaucracy.

Suckers - who are willing to deny liberty and freedom to others but
think that their own liberty and freedom will never be in jeopardy.

Suckers - who believe that criminalizing a substance will make it go
away. Suckers - who think that drug prohibition somehow protects children.

Suckers - who think that giving criminals control of dangerous drugs
somehow protects children and our society.

Suckers - who think that they live in a free country even thought the
United States is the most incarcerated nation in the history of human
civilization.

Re: Palin Hurts McCain, at Least Among Newspaper Editorialists

A vote for McCain is a vote for a Sarah Palin presidentcy. John McCain has already outlived his father by two years
and his grandfather by 11 years. McCain is a former two pack a day tobacco user. The odds of McCain living to
age 76 are not good.

The main job of a Vice President is to be ready to take over as President. She is not ready or qualified.
