The turn will come when we entrust the conduct of our affairs to men who understand that their first duty as public officials is to divest themselves of the power they have been given. It will come when Americans, in hundreds of communities throughout the nation, decide to put the man in office who is pledged to enforce the Constitution and restore the Republic. Who will proclaim in a campaign speech: “I have little interest in stream-lining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them. It is not to inaugurate new programs, but to cancel old ones that do violence to the Constitution, or that have failed in their purpose, or that impose on the people an unwarranted financial burden. I will not attempt to discover whether legislation is ‘needed’ before I have first determined whether it is constitutionally permissible. And if I should later be attacked for neglecting my constituents’ ‘interests,’ I shall reply that I was informed their main interest is liberty and that in that cause I am doing the very best I can.”
The above was written by a genuine conservative. Anyone who does not recognize the quotation may write and ask for the source.
The crap from the (at least in this instance) inaccurately called "Accuracy in Media" is not conservative.
It is, indeed, brownshirtism.
It is the ranting of someone dedicated to forcing his religious beliefs on everyone.
To sneeringly condemn the founder of MPP as "a convicted drug felon" is the mark of a dishonest demagogue, of a liar.
I am going to comment further on this aspect at my own blog, and I invite everyone to see it.
Here, though, I will just mention one thing: Many more intelligent and more conservative writers and leaders have, for several reasons, come to realize that marijuana, and other drugs, ought to be re-legalized.
They have realized the "War on Some Drugs," also called more accurately the "War on People," is a failure; they have realized it is unconstitutional; they have realized it is immoral.
Anyone who wants to continue that immoral and futile war is, among other things, playing into the hands of terrorists, who profit because of drug illegality.
That "drug warrior" is playing into the hands of fascists, of advocates of bigger and more powerful government, advocates who know -- apparently better than the mis-called conservative supporters of the "war" -- how the "war" gives excuses for more and bigger government.
The "drug warrior" is playing into the hands of the leftists who love every opportunity to ignore or circumvent the Constitution.
Real conservatives know better.
Real conservatives know morality cannot be legislated.
Real conservatives know only individuals can make the rules for themselves to live by, and know any particular religious belief cannot be written into law.
