That would make you a dual-wing extremist, according to our current administration. Left wing because of your belief in violating the law for drug issues, right wing for belief in violating the concept of federal government superceding state government. Kinda funny how that works.



Oh, and in reality (the world away from Obama-think), it just makes you wrong.

Violating laws makes you a left wing extremist and not a criminal?

Partisan hack job.

It's got nothing to do with "drug laws" it has to do with federal bans. It's not the federal government's job to ban everything.

Do you support the lead ban? Do you believe the SCOTUS is on your side since that holds up?

What if they banned, let's say, car radios? Cell phones? iPods? Video cameras?

DHS/Office of Intelligence and Analysis defines leftwing extremists as
groups or individuals who embrace radical elements of the anarchist, animal rights, or environmental movements and are often willing to violate the law to achieve their objectives. Many leftwing extremist groups are not hierarchically ordered with defined members, leaders, or chain of command structures but operate as loosely-connected underground movements composed of “lone wolves,” small cells, and splinter groups.

I believe that there is a process for questioning such things, and it should be followed before violating the law. The law is arguable both ways. Do you believe in the federal ban on personal nuke weapons ownership? Any and all OSHA requirements?

Your line of thinking is wrong. We are a nation of laws, and those laws need followed. There are laws on how to deal with laws with which you do not agree. Simply ignoring them is not the responsible, mature, reasonable process.

So, you'd give up all your personal belongings if the government outlawed them.

There are laws on how to deal with laws with which you do not agree.

And when the process fails? When the people we believe are on our side turn on us?

The Constitution, privacy, personal liberty... none of that means anything to the government. Who's going to stop them?

Oh yeah, the teabaggers will unite and throw bags of tea in to the Chesapeake.

Depends on the belonging. If you're referring to drugs - I wouldn't have had them in the first place because they're illegal. Are you suggesting that people have drugs from before they were illegal, and should therefore not have to give them up, or are you just going out on wild tangents in the hopes of stumbling on an intelligent argument?

And when the process fails? When the people we believe are on our side turn on us?

Well, you'd first have to challenge the law, then have that process fail to have that be a reasonable argument.

This "debate" would be more productive if ya'll were shouting at a brick wall instead.
