Nah. You know that faux conservatives like Chris are all for less government intrusion; unless it is in your living room or your bedroom.

We have wasted billions of dollars and ruined thousands of lives with this total failure of a War on Drugs. (Kind of like the War in Iraq?) But Chris is all for it.

You mean we should just let people rob retail stores at gunpoint without enforcing the laws hoping that they either stop voluntarily or until all retail stores simply shut their doors and refuse to do business?

I don’t think that small government advocates ever promoted such nonsense.

Shouldn’t the invisible hand of that all-knowing free market you love take care of this on its own, Chris?

Since their destructive actions are related to the drug war, armed men desecrating the environment should be fine with libertarians. LOL.

Next time try to make even more simplistic.

“Hey, it involves guns, and libertarians are for gun rights — ergo, they are hypocrites!”

Wow.

Looks like I stumbled onto a DEA website by mistake.

But the mexican drug cartels get a pass from the media and the state.

You are witnessing the decline of an empire. History in the making. If the nation by some miracle survives you can tell your grandchildren all about it.

He describes well what is taking place in rural areas. They are turning feral.
