Obama grows the drug war, with enforcement a clear priority

"The new budget proposal demonstrates the Obama Administration's commitment to a balanced and comprehensive drug strategy," Kerlikowske added, in the advisory. "In a time of tight budgets and fiscal restraint, these new investments are targeted at reducing Americans' drug use and the substantial costs associated with the health and social consequences of drug abuse."

Some of you will be proud of Obama since now hes giving more power to the Government Street Gangs. Its not like there are murders, rapists and other scum that you know the thugs in blue should concentration on but naw we got to bust into the house of the pot smoker and look him away for a couple months, costing the tax payers money. I guess Police Socialism must be another pillar of Obama.

So let me get this straight. Your reason for ending the war on drugs is that there are rapist and murderers are out there? Considering the majority of people are raped or murdered by people they know, the only way to "concentrate" on murders and rapes would be to have cops in every household, corner and street in the United States. I thought you were a Libertarian? Aren't you guys supposed to be less government? No. I'd rather have the police chase around cocaine dealers than be on the lookout for whatever possible rapes and murders may happen, somewhere, at some time and maybe.

And just so you know, in X number of years of smoking marijuana and doing enough drugs to put the entire country of Colombia behind bars, the police NEVER busted down my door. Ever. Not once. I don't even know people who it has happened to and I know A LOT of drug users.

And now we have people pissed that Obama is actually prioritizing law enforcement. That asshole president actually thinks the law is important, the bastard...

I think the War on Drugs is stupid. The law should be changed, IMO.

Why is the Messiah going to harass more black folk?

Because the government is getting desperate for money.

Folks, read the old old SF novel by Kate Wilhelm, The Clone. It's an excellent metaphor for what happens when a government runs out of food. It starts consuming it's self.

Lets refer to fiction to help interpret reality.
