re: Republicans voted against decriminalizing marijuana.

Read this entire thread carefully if you want to get an idea about what the libertarian types think is vitally important at this time in our nation.

Right now, our dementia riddled *president has us as close to war with Russia as we have been since the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Right now, hundreds of thousands of criminal illegals are pouring across our southern border every year.

Right now, we have public schools and academia convincing the children they weren't able to murder in the womb that they are homosexual, bi-sexual, pan-sexual, transgender, asexual, pretty much anything other than the boys and girls that God made them to be, and are assisting them in their illness to do permanent, irreversible damage to their bodies to support their mental illness.

Right now, we have inflation exploding. Energy costs continue to put upward pressure on the price of everything, and for the minority of people who actually work for a living in this country and pay for all the utter bullshite coming out of Washington, it's becoming more and more difficult to justify doing so, rather than just giving up and attaching to the government teat.

I can go on, but you get the idea. But by all means, let's castigate republicans in the government for opposing the decriminalization of marijuana. Let's ignore the fact that if the issue were one tenth as important for voting republicans, every one of those villainous bastards who voted against it would be out of office within the next few elections. Let's ignore the fact that these republicans most likely voted exactly how their constituents would want them to vote.

All that being said, I agree that pot should be legalized. But lets not act like it isn't the same slippery slope that gay marriage and a thousand other issues are.
