Another Bright Shining Lie
by Michael Gaddy
*** begin quote ***
The state has many weapons in its arsenal to keep Boobus ignorant of their illegal, unconstitutional activities and in compliance with its confiscatory tax and slavery system. In all likelihood, the two most often used of these weapons are fear and prevarication.
Our new US Attorney General/Race Agitator, Eric Holder, last week used a bright shining lie in his advocating the introduction of a new Assault Weapons Ban. (AWB) He stated:
“Putting the ban back in place would not only be a positive move by the United States, it would help cut down on the flow of guns going across the border into Mexico, which is struggling with heavy violence among drug cartels along the border. I think that will have a positive impact in Mexico, at a minimum.”
What a crock; believing the fantastically wealthy drug cartels actually secure their weapons from America is analogous to taking a hamburger to a steak dinner. The drug cartels use their millions, if not billions, to purchase some of the finest weaponry that can be had, far exceeding the firepower of their state-armed opponents in both Mexico and the US.

I agree that Holder is peddling “barbara streisand”!
We could pacify the Mexico, Columbia, and Afgan drug lords with one stroke of a pen.
End the psuedo-Drug War now!
What does a Drug Kingpin do when WalMart becomes your competitor? Drive a cab.
All we have to do is recognize that people make bad choices. We just don’t have to use the guns or government to inflict more pain on everyone.
I’ve read estimates that there is a “residual addiction rate”. Some people you will just be unable to keep from being addicted; no matter what you do.
I’ve seen estimates that ending the drug prohibition will actually reduce the addiction rate to the residual since there will no longer be the allure of “doing something illegal” to the young people.
I’ve read estimates that the cost of “illegal” drugs will drop to the cost of aspirin and that the marketplace’s (i.e., WalMart, RiteAid, Walgreen, CVS) “drugs” will be USP grade. (No more deadly overdoses from too strong street drugs or side effects of it being cut with rat poison.)
And, what does the gooferment have to do to accomplish this. Absolutely nothing but pass a law decriminalizing drugs. Closing the DEA, BATF, and FDA would also be a good idea.
Why won’t they? Money, power, and a scary “issue”.
President Obama could pardon ALL non-violent drug offenders.
And a cow could jump over the moon!
It’s all “barbara streisand”!
The powers that be like it this way so this is the way it will stay.
We have to end this nonsense the same way “We, The People” ended alcohol prohibition. In the jury box.
When you’re in the jury room hearing a drug case, and no one got killed, vote “NOT GUILTY”. Don’t discuss it. Don’t preach. Don’t say anything but “The State didn’t prove their case!”
The Drug War will be over in a heartbeat. The Gun Violence will follow soon after that.
WalMart will be selling drugs. Think they will sell to children? Think they won’t offer help? THink that they will have gun battle with the near by WalGreens?
Over stuff that has the profit margin of aspirin?
It’s all “barbara streisand”! And, we put up with it!!
Argh!
