In favor of legalizing pot?

How about harder stuff like say, meth?

Anyone want to bet these "small government" types are going to be gonzo, balls-to-the-wall, lock 'em up and throw away the key statists when it comes to the drug war?

If anyone is going to want to punch hippies it's the teahadists..

2. How about abortion in case of rape or incest? Typically they want the govt to monitor those women
to make sure the baby gets delivered.

They are a bunch of fantasyland hypocrits.

3. Depends...
The Libertarian Loons will.
The fundie kooks won't.
The gun nuts will shoot them all by "accident" in honour of Darth Cheney.

4. Or on war in general?
Edited on Tue Sep-14-10 10:10 PM by Mister Ed
The biggest part of our huge government is the military, directly or indirectly. It's huge in scope, huge in scale, vast in its reach, and colossal in its expense.

If you believe, as most teabaggers do, that we must have such an enormous military, then you believe in big government. And you believe in high taxes, because that's what it takes to fund our military.

(Edited for spelling)
