On the other hand there's the Chinese proverb that says grey hair is a sign of old age, not wisdom.

My personal view is that marijuana should remain illegal in public. My own personal view is that if an individual wishes to do any drug or even shoot battery acid in their veins he should be allowed to do so in private. Nobody has the right to interfer with the rest of us therefore there should be nothing in their bloodstream when they are in public. I should not have to step over or walk around a heroin addict passed out on the sidewalk much less face some druggie in an automobile.

The good thing about drugs is that they get rid of a lot of useless trash. The bad thing is that they take a lot of good hardworking people with them. Drugs are an expense to all of us.

My reason for posting this is that whenever drugs are spoke of the liberal democrats always seem to be a spokesperson for them. How many times have you heard some liberal say "marijuana expands my mind"? Drugs are merely an escape from a depressed life that is difficult for that person to live in. Democrats are always depressed about everything. Conservatives are much more satisfied with their lives and future and for the most part are not trying to numb their mind.

My question still stands. Does the democrat use drugs because of his views or is he a democrat because he uses drugs?

My response is the question is rhetorical.

So, you are saying that only democrats use drugs, and republicans don't?

I think only republicans do drugs and are alcoholics because GWB did coke and was a drunk ....

and, of course, all repubs are closet gays since Larry Craig is...

and, let's not forget that all repubs are pedophiles since Marc Foley is...

There... I said it so it must be true.

*sarcasm off*

What a stupid thread.

Or, republicans do drugs BECAUSE of all those facts! ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Larry Craig and Marc Foley are closet democrats. Unfortunately there are many republicans that are closet democrats.

I am sorry thatyou feel the thread is stupid. Do you do drugs? Are you a Liberal?

Just because a particular individual thinks that people should be allowed to take drugs does not mean that that particular individual takes drugs. I think that people should be allowed to play football even though I don’t care to play football. Think.

Your questions assume a premise that is not agreed upon. Show me statistics that show than democrats take more drugs than do Republicans. Otherwise, the question should read: Do politicians use drugs because of their views or are they politicians because they use drugs? When did you stop abusing your spouse?

Now, are they closeted democrats because they got CAUGHT, or because of what they did? What about the right wing hero of the republicans, Rush Limbaugh? He does drugs, is he a closeted democrat too?

What is a closet Democrat - a Republican that does things that other Republicans don't like? What is a closet Republican - a Democrat that does things that other Democrats don't like?

Maybe everyone needs to come out of the closet and smoke one big fatty!

If I'm correct, Richard Nixon started the war on drugs. A true conservative, Nixon was driven by fear and paranoia of the drug culture, and was quoted as saying, "I'm going to make those hippies take a bath!" Grace Slick of the Jefferson Airplane was rumored to have attempted to lace one of Nixon's drinks with LSD. Drugs are pushed on American society all the time. Look at the drug advertisements on television. Nixon was free enterprise and was against regulation, now we have drug companies that are out of control and pushing dangerous drugs on to the market, whistle blowers are silenced, VIOXX has caused numerous deaths, due to dangerous side effects. The FDA is a rubber stamp for the drug companies. Yet drug offenders are incarcerated with mandatory minimum sentences and railroaded into the prison system. Ronald Regan and Nancy Regan pushed "Just Say No". These same conservatives who you idolize are the ones that started the "War On Drugs".

All I know is that I did one hell of a lot of drugs in the 80s with one hell of a lot of Republicans.

Why republicans, you ask?

Because they and I tended to enjoy the same ambiance in social situations, bars, and so forth, and they typically had the best coke.

A closet democrat is an individual that publicly presents his views and lifestyle as a conservative but in hiding he lives as a democrat with a liberal lifestyle.
