Ron Paul signbomb is a success!

We did it, but we've got to continue the Ron Paul signs and promotions.


Only Ron Paul and Mitt Romney will receive votes in the VA Republican primary, The Newt, Bachmann and the rest failed to get the 10,000 signatures required to be on the ballot.

GO RON PAUL!!!! Let's take VA!!

Congrats to all the volunteers who worked to collect signatures.

Ron Paul is a batshit crazy racist nazi, read his newsletter

Why are you celebrating this? If indeed that's the tone you're taking? It assumes that those who would have voted for Newt and the rest prefer Ron over Romney. I'm not so sure that's the case. The more candidates in the field, generally the better these oddball characters do in the polls, relative to everyone else. It splits the electorate over the mainstream candidates, while the fringe candidates can still count on the same number of diehard supporters.

that's the thing-GOP has no mainstream candidates this cycle- you have, I don't know, six absolute mental patients and Romney, who is absolutely a member of the world's craziest cult (read about Mormonism). No hope for Pres. Obama 2012!!!

There's no real differentiation between Obama and Romney. Most of the policies seem to have been set in motion long ago.

expansive military foreign policy
universal health insurance mandate
lax government regulatory policy
lax immigration policy
easy monetary policy

Thus it is better to keep on course with the same Captain.

Go Ron Paul! Take back America!

DA FUCK?? OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA!

Lets imagine a parallel universe where Ron Paul gets elected president of the United States, and he gets carte Blanche from the other branches of govt.

How many US citizens would die from Ron Paul's policy changes. I bet he'd kill way more Americans then Bin Laden and Bush Jr combined.

I'll mark the over under at 100,000 deaths. Place your bets.

There are two classes of GOP candidates at the moment

1) The crazies - no moderates would vote for Bachman, Perry, Gingrich, Paul or Trump. In addition, they would all ensure a massive democratic and poor republican turnouts. Outcome - Obama wins substantially

2) The moderates - Obama emasculated Huntsman for this cycle by appointing him to China, he's a dark horse but I don't see him as appealing to the anti-Romney-brigade. Which leaves Romney as the moderate candidate - leading to a poor republican turnout (perhaps split by an independent run) and even a poor democratic turnout. Outcome - Obama wins by a narrow margin

So my prediction...
2012
- The crazies eat each other and poison Romney
- Romney wins the nomination but fails to ignite the GOP core
- Generally low-turn out
- Obama wins

2016
- Huntsman gains the nomination
- democrats struggle to find a good candidate because of the lack of democratic governors

I can see a slightly different course, not a prediction, but a possibility:

2012
Third party candidate comes in and splits the republican vote, then the republican party.

2016
Hilary wins 2 terms after Obama.

I think a Mayan hieroglyph depicted "the newt eating the elephant in the end days of the Republican party as Regan knew it.

Keep dreaming Hilary isnt winning the presidency and certainly not two terms. Plus 2016 will see the best GOP candidates who sat out this one since they didnt want to run against an incumbent for their first time if Obama does win 2012.

Your boy could get lucky though and Paul could split off enough votes to let him win just like how Clinton won his first term.

Throw the election to the Democrats.

I suspect Hilary's window has passed - if there had been a serious GOP contender then you would have seen Biden step down and Hilary as VP for 2012, but I don't think that's as likely now. Obama+Clinton would have been a winning ticket, but would enliven the GOP base - which is why they won't do it unless they have to

If she ran in 2016, she'd be 69 - or 77 at the end of a two year term. I'm not sure the US public wants a president in their 70's these days - although I might be wrong on that.

Its a shame really - sadly neither party has come up with another credible female candidate (Bachman and Palin have always been fundamentally unelectable).

I can see a 3rd candidate splitting the GOP vote next year, but it's hard to see the party splitting - there's no precedent to go on, which suggests that the forces which keep the parties together are pretty strong. The UK conservatives struggled in the same way post thatcher/major but managed to keep their party together - although even after a decade they still weren't able to get back into power without a coalition with the centrist liberal party.

No-one is going to elect another Bush after the mess the last one left.

^ it wasn't bush's fault. idiot. it was the liberals and the democrats!!

Romney is so fake. Newt fucked up by not getting on the ballet. He's from VA for Christ sake.

Romney is so a fraud.

WMD, abu ghraib, waterboarding, patriot act, VP who discovers a new unaccountable arm of government (strangely hidden for 200+ years), $800B, 4500 fatalities and 32,000 injured poured into a hole in the Iraqi sand, a healthy surplus turned into financial collapse, Roberts appointed to the supreme court, subprime mortgage crisis, lehmans bankruptcy...

yup it was Pres Gore wot dunnit ... oh wait...

Don't fuck this up, Republicans. Obama's approval numbers are shit right now and the election is yours for the taking. Don't put up some crackpot that can't even beat the incumbent while he's down.

While I'm convinced that anybody going for the nomination has something that will come out during the election, those that choose this life must have a screw loose.

If you doubt for a moment that this can happen, remember how Bush won his second term because Kerry was such a lacking candidate.

I've given up on having a good candidate. Here's to voting for the "least worst" candidate.

Wow - that's the standard that the GOP has fallen to?

You leave the economy in tatters, 2 wars in disarray, spend 3 years on complete obstructionism - and you can't even rustle up anyone better than 'the least worst'?

I guess the year end farce between the senate and house GOPs said it all - so many crazy-eyed tea-partiers got elected during during the mid-terms that the caucus doesn't even know if it believes in government anymore. I don't even like Boehner, and even i feel sorry for him.

And the candidates - Trump or Perry as front-runner even for a minute? Bachman as a 'serious contender'? What are you people smoking?

The "least worst candidate" term was aimed at all political contests, including both parties' candidates in the 2012 presidential election. Maybe it is difficult to get excited about a candidate if you didn't buy him/her yourself.


The parties are separated and within them are extremes. Pick the one with the fewest warts.

Seriously how many drugs are you on? Please honestly answer that question. NO ONE can be that stupid. I refuse to believe its possible for someone to be as brainwashed as you are.

3 years of complete obstructionism? Are you kidding me? You have to be trolling. Obama for the first two years HAD BOTH HOUSES AND A SUPER MAJORITY IN THE SENATE.

Please keep trying to rewrite history though to defend how hes managed to make everything worse over the last 3 years.

the domcrats was incharge of the congrees when bush was in the presidecny. bush is just 1/3.

I have heard a few of Ron Pauls positions and I agree with them.

The war on drugs is a joke.

Gambling should be legalized and people should make up their own mind how they spend their money. Agree.

The Federal government has grown too big and too powerful.

He fully supports the second amendment.

Is not in favor of obamacare or the federal govenrnment running your health care.

End forced paid dues to unions.

Make securing our borders the top national security priority.

Only send our military into conflict with a clear mission and all the tools they need to complete the job – and then bring them home.


I will choose my own candidate and not listen to my selections hand picked by the media or some fatass lobbyist in Washington.

What if we never revolted against the British?
What if we never abolished slavery?
What if we kept women in the kitchen?
What if we never built the interstates?
What if we didn't have an FBI?
What if we let the nazis win WWII?

It's tough to take this guy (or his supporters) seriously. It's a great discussion in a ludicrous venue.

http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2011/12/the-story-behind-ron-pauls-racist-newsletters/250338/

tl;dr: Ron Paul didn't write the racist content, but the fact that it went out in a newsletter bearing his name calls his judgment into question.

I'M A FIVE-STAR MAN!!

The limited ballot issue is a gift from our governor to Mitt Romney. It appears our governor wants to be VP so badly that he has worked with our LT guvnur, the head of the Virginia Romney campaign, to limit access to all but two candidates-Romney and Paul.

It is amazing how Newt is ahead in a lot of VA polls but he is not allowed on the ballot. I, for one, was hoping to vote for batsh7t crazy Bachmann, but I can't. There are at least 10 people running in the Republican primary, but only two are on the ballot in Virginia? How can anyone defend a system that has produced this result?

I say, since VA is an open primary state, we all go out and vote for Ron Paul. All Democrats in Virginia, since there is no Democratic primary in our commonwealth, should all go and voter for Ron Paul in the Republican primary. We can turn the table on this Republican ballot tampering trick, and hopefully cause our governor's head to explode in the process.

It all for nothing because Mitt Romney or Ron Paul won't have a snowball chance in hell of beating Obama.

Romney has his Bain and crazy Mormon background, Ron Paul also has baggage from his past. Unless a new candidate enters the race Obama will win re-election.

Ron Paul defends the constitution and America!

Strict constitutionalist!

As someone who's collected numerous signatures for previous candidates I can only laugh at the crybabies who cry about stuff like this. If you care that much, get off your butt and stand in front of a supermarket on the weekends and collect signatures.

If you haven't done that you can't complain.

The thing is though, if Romney moved to the center, he could probably win a general election. The last few months he spent pandering to the far right sect of the GOP has ruined any chance of that though. The guy basically disavows anything he did as Gov. of MA, and that guy could beat Obama by winning the moderates who are unhappy with Obama and the conservatives who wouldn't vote for Obama no matter who the candidate is.

Keep talking about religion, gay marriage, "personhood", and acting like the health care plan you implemented in MA wasn't really close to "Obamacare" (it was), and draconian austerity measures and you will lose those votes and be left with the die hard anti-Obama voters.

None of these candidates have any redeeming qualities and I really am not impressed Obama, but the lesser of two evils will win again I guess.

Not really. As with EVERY primary for both parties during the primary candidates always move to the left or right to win the nomination and then move back to the center (if thats where they were at the start) during the actual election.

Lets also be serious, he hasnt lost any votes on the left. Anyone on the left is going to vote for Obama and anyone that still supports him is going to vote for him no matter who is put up against him.

I think I've given that guy more votes than all good candidates combined. Strangely he seems to run sometimes as a Republican and sometimes as a Democrat.

I've voted in every VA republican primary since I was able to vote.

I'm certainly NOT voting for Romney and his socialized health care programs. Ron Paul is a little overboard about the constitution but I guess he'll get my vote.

Had Newt been on the ballot he would of got my vote.

Why do you ignore all of the facts that have proven that he did not write the letters and has disavowed them? Stop being forcefed lies through FOX and other mainstream outlets and do the research yourself next time.

While not a fan of everything Romney has done hes is a much better choice then Paul. I will never vote for someone who thinks its fine for Iran to get the bomb and wants to legalize all drugs

The blank ballot will win, we can still go in and cast a blank ballot and I believe it would have too count. That way we don't have too vote for someone none of us want nor give them our state in the real election.

Right because legalizing pot would be a tragedy. NOT! There are already pot growing stores in DC and half the states are now allowing medical pot.

Learn to actually know what you're talking about.

He wants to get rid of the federal law that says they're all illegal and wants the states to decide. Just because the states get to decide if drugs should be legal/illegal doesn't mean he legalized anything!

You should actually learn what youre talking about. Hes been specifically asked if he would be fine with heroin being legal and said yes. Hes also said we shouldnt have been involved in WW2, Iran can get a nuke if they want, Israel shouldnt exit, the list goes on and on. Hes got some good ideas but takes the ideas WAY to far and have some very extreme ideas as well.

He cant win a general election and even makes some conservatives such as my self strongly question whether or not they could vote for him

Well Romney doesn't have chance against Obama so this topic is mute.

Only delusional liberals will tell you that. Everyone else knows it will be a tough race no matter who wins. Especially with Johnson running as an independent he could steal a lot of the gay vote from Obama.

The only way its not close is if Paul runs as an independent too and splits the vote with romney.

You might want to actually check the current polls that say Obama is still winning and surging for re-election. That's why you hear republicans say "MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE to beat Obama."

Oh no a poll right now before Romney has even started his national campaign has an incumbent in the lead lets just go ahead and cancel the election then since its not necessary even though the poll doesnt include Johnson who will win the 1 issue gay voter for his support of gay marriage.

Its one thing to say in a poll you would vote for him its another to go out and do it.

You also might want to check the polls gallups poll is 48 50 which is within the margin of error.

Rasmussen had Romney ahead 45 39.

Abc/washington post has a tie.

NBC wall st journal has it 47 45 obama

The AP has it 47 46 obama.

Everything is within the margin of error

Also rasmussen is the most recent one done. The newer the poll the more it has favored Romney

The chimp is finished.

It'll be funny if Romney and Ron Paul drop out before the VA primary and there's nobody to vote for. There's is no way in hell I'm voting that plastic flip=floping Ken doll Romney.

Flip Flop Mitt. I can see why the White House is smiling about running against Mitt.

Theres a 0 percent chance romney drops out. Paul could depending how he shows elsewhere.

Im guessing there was no way in hell you were voting for anyone but Obama but just want to make it seem like youre some sort of independent

Your a day late. He changed his mind since it wouldnt be fair to Romeny and Paul to do it this late when they met the requirements.

And once again you are wrong as MANY dems also supported him doing so as their laws do need to be revamped

Romney has more supporters and backing in VA. Now way will that legislation pass.

It is a a certainty.

Not even close have you ever looked up scientology. L ron hubbard the founder is even quoted as saying "I need to start a religion thats where the real money is"

Any religion like the Mormon religion that condones marrying 13 year olds is just fucked up. Plus, talking about the Mormon money machine. As a Mormon you must give 15% of your earning to the church, plus additional moneys for weddings etc..-

It's the World's Perfect Business Scheme and you can do it too. Just start your own "Afterlife Insurance Company" then make the greatest promise humanly imaginable -- promise your clients that if they totally obey you and pay their premiums, after death they'll become Gods! In fact, polygamous Gods who'll have eternal sex with innumerable partners! Until then, they'll enjoy moral supremacy over all humanity. You do need to claim that you're a prophet of God however, but this is the easiest claim on earth to make and no one can prove you're lying.

HERE'S YOUR BIG PAYOFF

Using the power of your "Afterlife Insurance Company":


You demand a whopping ten percent of each client's income for their policy premiums and...

You publicly humiliate anyone who questions you or fails to pay. This power is so great that...

You can even ban clients from attending things like family weddings! And yet, the absurd irony is...

You don't have to prove to anyone that your Afterlife Insurance Company actually works, so...

You are worry free because, in this business, all your disillusioned customers are dead. Therefore...

You never pay off a single claim (although you literally promised the Universe). Then, incredibly...

You reverse the Burden of Proof--If others don't magically know you're right--they're wrong! Now...

You destroy rational thought with the delusion that deeply feeling it's true is all that matters. Soon...

Wow. The anti-Mormon bigotry is out in full force. Kudos to the Obama campaign and other Democrats for stoking these flames well in advance of the election. Looks like they are afraid of Gov. Romney.

Yeah, save the Mormon shit until after Romney is the nominee. The last thing the dems need right now is to get some Christian as the nominee. Keep pumping up Romney for an Obama win!

Wow, first republicans believe Obama is a Muslim and then republicans believe the Muslim religion is about blowing stuff up.

Intelligence at its finest. I tip my hat to republicans, you can't fool them.

Who the hell cares about this crap. Just more politicians blowing smoke!!! Doesn't matter who runs or wins. They will inherit the current country's problems!!! GUESS WHAT, THEY WON'T FIX IT EITHER!!!!

Romney is probably the LEAST real candidate - Hollywood could NOT have come up with a better caricature of a candidate than him if they were trying to write a political drama.

Good lord the guy is plastic!

I think the backroom guys have or are lining up the REAL candidate that'll take the convention.

Obama AND his campaigners and half the country are indeed doing cartwheels, though.

So you're claiming that Muslims AREN'T blowing things up in the name of Islam? Give me a break. I don't think you're in a position to question anyone else's intelligence. Try thinking for yourself instead of regurgitating the PC bullshit the media feeds you.

It's all well and good that a majority of Muslims claim to be non-violent, but actions speak much louder than words. Every freakin' day there are people killing in the name of Islam. Its probably happening right now as I'm typing this. These are not isolated incidents, Muslim extremists and their sympathizers/supporters number in the millions.

The polls still show that a "generic Republican candidate" is leading Obama by 4-6 points.

And it doesn't get any more generic than Mitt Romney.

By no means am I a supporter of Islam - having studied the religion quite extensively, I can say with no doubt that Islam is not a religion of peace.

However, Judaism and Christianity only look slightely better in comparison. I don't mind people criticizing Islam, just so long as they aren't defending Christianity or Judaism at the same time.
I mean, genocide, racism, sexism, homophobia, anti-intellectualism...Islam may have spread these concepts throughout the Middle East, but it was Christianity that spread them throughout the Western world. And anyone that thinks the Christian takeover of Europe was peaceful needs to review their history.


But returning to the ORIGINAL topic: I'm glad it's down to Romney and Paul. I was uncertain as to who I should vote for, but with the most reasonable candidate (Hunstman) and the most intelligent candidate (Gingrich) both out of the picture, choosing Ron Paul over Romney is an easy choice to make.

Except Romney doesnt want a nationalized one he wants the states to chose and his plan was cheaper than Obamas anyway.

Ron Paul doesnt care if Iran gets nukes, he doesnt believe we should have been in ww2, he doesnt think israel should exist.........enough said

We shouldn't have been in the First World War - had we not, the second war wouldn't have even taken place.

Israel shouldn't exist. That land was stolen by the British, and gifted by the UN (which, laughably enough, is hated by most Israelis).
I don't want another Zionist scumbag president. I'd rather have 4 more years of Obama than have some piece of shit sending more money to those barbarians.

Right because Europe would be known as just Germany today and Jews wouldnt exist in that part of the world anymore. Yea who cares about the holocaust.

CLEARLY you are quite unfamiliar with the history of the wars.
Precisely how the fuck do you figure the Holocaust and Jews have anything to do with the First World War? Is the American educational system THAT fucked up that you can't even keep your history straight?

Clearly you are quite unable to think logically. If Germany controls all of Europe after the first world war your logical assumption is that theyll never try to exterminate them? Or exterminate some other race of people in their place at some point? At the very least in the future you would have a bunch of smaller wars of countries trying to get their independence back which very likely could lead to WW2 happening again anyway only at a later date where everyone has more powerful weapons.

Ill take that as a yes. Still havent herd a defense for him saying whatever countries what to get a nuke can, and that all drugs should be legal. Paul would be a disaster and he wont win, he doesnt even think he can win

You are only further proving my point that you don't know your history. Take over Europe? Do you know ANYTHING about WWI? And exterminate the Jews? There were Jews FIGHTING in the both the Prussian and Austro-Hungarian armies. My god, man, open up a fucking book. Fascism didn't exist during WWI, and Hitler didn't come to power until 1933. How can someone so clueless speak so boldly?
Seriously, kid, go to the library, get yourself some books. Learn something.

You can 'take' it however you wish.

I didn't know you were waiting to 'her' an explaination of anything, but if you wish...

No country should have nuclear weapons. As far as how we as a planet reach that goal - quite frankly, I don't know. But I never claimed to, just as I never claimed to be a Ron Paul supporter.

Of course all drugs should be legal. We're talking about personal freedom here. No one has the right to tell someone what they can and can't do with their own body.
And then there are always the idiots that bring up things like 'oh, but what if someone becomes addicted to cocaine and ends up stealing to support their habbit' and other such scenarios. But the fact of the matter is, as things currently stand people become addicted anyway, and the only way to reduce that is through education and regulation - NOT prohibition. And legalizing the use of a drug does not mean that crimes commited as a result of said drug use are now excusable. Should be obvious, yet so many simple minded people seem to be unable to grasp this.
You legalize and regulate a drug, and as a result:
-quality/purity of the drug is regulated/maintained
-power/profit is taken out of the hands of the criminals
-money is no longer wasted enforcing arbitrary laws and imprisoning undeserving 'criminals'
-taxable revenue

We all know the republicans are the party of personal freedoms. Just look at their views on abortion, drugs, the FCC, separating church and state. Etc.

The only freedom republicans are for is the wealthy pulling trillions of dollars out of our economy ( and many times of our shores.) tax free. ( see Mitt Romney method for tuning around companies.)

Ron Paul is a joke. His ethos makes his congressional job very easy. In congress, he doesn't have to talk to anyone, do anything, write any serious legislation because his views are so extreme he couldnt see common ground with the Hubble telescope. He is the biggest do nothing in a do nothing congress and that's just the way he likes it. He uses rhetoric to cover his laziness. Talk about a lump of flem, and we pay this jerks salary. Ron Paul has no buisness drawing a public paycheck. His opinions belong in a private think tank.

I don't understand what the big deal is, as getting that few of signatures in a congressional district, should be easy, for even someone with "no name", ie. no reputation. For someone like Gingrich or Sanatorum, or anyone else, its even funnier. They should have known the rules, and should have done what needed to be done. Their "bad."

Atom Wrote:

I disagree. I'd rather pay a politician to try to stop all the B.S. legislation that gets pushed down onto the people than to pay them to complicate both the legal system and the tax code by writing in loopholes for their donors and political base.

That's 99% of what you're getting 'for your' money: More loopholes for the rich and powerful.

Are you really that dense. No I wasnt referring to Hitler. Yes the war started in the balkins and quickly spread which then became empire expanding by the axis powers. What happens when an empire expands and takes over territory, they cleanse opposition much like the USSR and their forced labor camps. Had we not gotten into the war Europe wouldnt be Europe it would be three major countries that may or may not eventually turn on each other and would eventually get resistance from the smaller countries it absorbed.

Thanks for the attempted history lesson but you should know what youre talking about first. Your the one who made the jump to hitler. Even if you want to talk about him nothing says he still couldnt have risen to power anyway.

Wont ever happen. Once they are made they are there forever barring a major world wide disaster that destroys all technology it wont happen. For all the bad they do in the wrong hands they do also prevent wars from happening. USA and USSR never went to war because of them. China and the USA will not go to war because of them. They are a great deterrent to other world powers.

And you have more people using said drugs and more lives ruined. A lot of people dont ever try them because they are illegal. Trying pot is one thing, you dont just try heroin, your hooked for like.

Killing babies isnt a personal freedom.

Wrong wrong. You just demonstrated the height of republican Hipocracy.

There is nothing more personal than family planning. Nothing.

The government has no right to a woman's body.

If the government did anything they should subsidize and give tax credits for abortions. No successful society has banned family planings. The Romans gave the father life and death control over all the children in his house.

Neo natal Life has no value. Experience gives life value (at a certain point that experience becomes counterproductive.)

Ever notice that a majority of prolifers would have been aborted in a eugenics based society? I guess that makes sense.

Thats not family planning its killing a baby. If she didnt want the baby dont get pregnant. Its 100 percent preventable. Abortions especially at the 6 month point which is still legal is murder. We arent the romans. We dont have slaves. You cant beat your wife. You cant murder people. Saying its a womans right to kill her kid is the dumbest argument that can possibly be made. Why cant you kill your kid when its 2 then and you change your mind, after all its family planning

No, YOU'RE the one that dense here. The Axis powers did not exist during the First World War, you're thinking of the Central Powers. The war did NOT start in the Balkans - I pressume you are confusing the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand by a Serb with the war itself.
Yes, I realize you never refered to Hitler by name, though your accusation of state-sponsored antisemitism on the part of the Central Powers nonetheless implied a lack of knowledge of WWI. If you were not mistakenly suggesting that National Socialism existed during the Great War, then precisely what did you mean when you claimed the Jews would have been wiped out had America not partaken in the war?

I never said it WOULD happen (though, likewise, I would never be so naive as to insist that it never will happen). You questioned me on my view regarding nuclear armaments, and I gave you them.

'hooked for like'?
Clearly you know next to NOTHING about drugs. Cigarettes are more adictive than most 'hard drugs'. Other countries have experimented with legalization and decriminalization of drugs, and statistics have PROVEN that in such cases, use of hard drugs does not increase.
Regardless, even were this not the case, who the fuck are you to tell someone whether or not they can become addicted to something? Do you also intend to moniter television watching? What about fat and carbohydrate consumption? IT'S NOT YOUR FUCKING PLACE. This is supposed to be a free society - clearly you are anti-fascism, so why the fuck don't you recognize that the very laws you attempt to defend are fascist?
Oh, right - I guess that goes back to the same shitty education that failed to properly teach you the history of Germany and Europe in general.

Sorry central powers not axis. Yes the that murder was one of the things that started the war. No I am not confusing that event with the entire war. Hatred of the Jews in Europe didnt start in the 1930s. Both world wars were land grabs, if it wasnt the Jews it would have been someone else which i already said.

Also my initial post was referring to Paul saying we shouldnt have been in WW2

And I pointed out that their view is not a practical solution to it. Again Paul is fine with anyone who wants to get them having them.

Im glad a small country is Europe is what your going to use to compare to the USA which demographically has no equals. Its clearly you who knows nothing about hard drugs. You dont use heroin socially or crack. Their rehab rates have something like an 8 percent success rate.

And its societies place to tell people they cant be addicted to heroin. Those same junkies will be the ones in the ER getting free health care and applying for welfare. When you take from others and expect government help they get the right to tell you you cant do heroin.

All this goes back to is your hatred of people and YOUR desire to defend your own personal drug use.
