Liberty First!

It had seemed like Proposition 19 had big momentum and the national
repeal of cannabis prohibition was imminent.

And then Proposition 19 which would have brought the end of cannabis
prohibition in California (and eventually the end of cannabis
prohibition in the rest of the country) was narrowly defeated by 53.5
percent of California voters.

Opponents of this measure for the repeal of prohibition included many
medicinal cannabis
growers seeking to preserve their profits. And yet, for the most part,
Proposition 19 was voted down by Republicans and the many tea
baggers/douche baggers who have taken over the Republican Party.

Proposition 19 would have made it legal for adults 21 and over to
possess up to an ounce of cannabis, smoke it in non-public areas, and
cultivate it in private plots. It would have also granted local
authorities control over commercial cultivation and sales of cannabis.

Supporters of Proposition 19 emphasized such benefits of cannabis
legalization as reduced law enforcement costs, additional tax revenue,
and stronger restrictions on under aged minors getting access to
cannabis (which seems to have been an unconvincing argument since many
California mothers voted against it fearing it would increase their
childrens' access to cannabis).

These benefits would certainly happen if repeal of prohibition would
happen, and yet the most important benefits of repeal would be an end
of government interference in a private decision, an end of government
infringement of natural right, an end of the government's war on the
U.S. Constitution, an assertion of American citizens' constitutional
rights, and the end of The War on Plants.

The great opportunity in this struggle for repeal of prohibition is
the possibility that the tea-baggers/douche-baggers can be made to be
consistent,
that they can be made to at least limit their hypocrisy.

Tea-baggers profess that they are against government interference in
our lives. They profess to be for the full restoration of our
constitutional rights, they say they are about personal freedom.

And yet, in a clear demonstration of their fundamental hypocrisy, many
tea-baggers continue to be adamant, war-on-plants, warriors.

Cannabis prohibition is the most clear and present danger that
government poses for millions of American citizens. For growing,
using, transporting or distributing a plant American citizens are
imprisoned, have their private property confiscated, have their
children taken from them, are deprived of their constitutional and
natural rights. It is the main reason why these United States of
America, this land of the free, leads the world in the percentage of
its citizens who are imprisoned (we have a larger percentage of our
citizens in prison than China, Cuba and North Korea).

The last thing that must happen in these United States of America for
cannabis prohibition to fall, and a rebirth of freedom, is for the
tea-baggers/douche-bagger to end the
hypocrisy, to be consistent.
