The social conservatives are 10% of the Repub base, and they are not satisfied with anything less than a war on drugs, no matter that we have about 700,000 people locked up for smoking a weed that God made.
Does that make Barney Frank a full-on Right Wing Wacko too? Only you could insult and agree at the same time.
I suppose if your political views don't fall within the acceptable Mitt Romney - Hillary Clinton range...then of course you're a wacko! I'll take the wacko everytime.
I know the "Right Wing Wackos" have a long tradition of opposing the drug war...(sarcasm)...
You're correct to support Ron Paul's long held veiw of ending the Federal drug war...your political and historical analysis continue to leave much to be desired.
Right or left, if you support the Constitution you should support the ending of Federal drug laws...or an amendment. The progressives of the early 20th century were misguided about legislating morality with prohibition, but they were Constitutionally sound by seeking an amendment.
If you believe in personal liberty and personal sovereignty, you should support leaving other people alone to live their lives.
