15. mj legalization is NOT a left issue |
|
Edited on Sun Mar-28-10 04:35 PM by paulsby
support is, has been., and will be... bipartisan
it's the authoritarian/libertarian split not the left/right split
national review came out pro legalization decades ago

3. Whenever Beck champions a cause...I'm cautious |
|
Because the first thing I'm wondering is...what's in it for him? Is he trying to co-op another popular belief like he took the Tea Party from Ron Paul and turned it into a crazy, anti-progressive nut group?

5. I think Clown Blecch has wandered 'off the reservation' this time |
|
It won't take long for his corporate masters to put an end to talk like that. Mark my words...not that I'll be listening, but I'm sure that if he has a sudden 'change of heart,' I'll hear about it here on DU.

7. Like a broken watch, Beck is usually right maybe two times a day |
|
But it's till hard to stomach the other 493 times he is wrong.

Beck actually came across as sane and even asked some reasonable questions. I must be in an alternate universe.

Every Faux news show likes to throw some liberal supported scraps 0.1% of the time in order to give the impression that their fair and balanced.

You're doing it right!
Beck was not really "for" legalization any more than he is for a second Obama term! His entire subtext was that Obama is wrong for not enforcing existing marijuana laws.
I personally believe that this nation needs to do many, many things - ending marijuana laws is among them - but I don't believe for one second that Glenn Beck is advocating for ANY of the truly necessary things!!

When you find beck agreeing with you, it's time to examine your position very carefully. It might still be okay, but if this doesn't make people reflect, then they don't have the ability to do so.

28. Him supporting marijuana is irrelevant |

Edited on Mon Mar-29-10 02:13 AM by Mrdie
I've seen Neo-Nazis who don't mind legalization.
I've known many conservatives who don't mind legalization, and liberals who advocate stricter penalties against drug use.
As paulsby said, legalization is not a left-right issue. If Beck ever wanted to turn this into something larger on his part then it'd be little different than Pat Buchanan "defending" (white) workers from "illegal immigrants" or Ron Paul "supporting" the anti-war movement (while talking about how the US could easily take out Venezuela in a war).
