I’m having a little discussion with a socon who accused me of being played by the left. I’m going to post excerpts from my half of that conversation:
I do believe smaller government has a future and the DEA is my first target. It has always been my target. Fortunately I can work with the left and the libertarians on that. Enough of a coalition to do the job. Once one piece is missing from the puzzle it will be easier to remove other pieces.
Prohibition is the one place the left wants smaller government. I intend to use that weakness against them.
You see I intend to play them.

“Prohibition is the one place the left wants smaller government.”
That explains why the left is pro-tobacco. Oh, wait…
@anarcho fascist – umm – yeah, I’m going to second that – except the right has gone a bit wishy-washy lately too.
Depends what you want to prohibit, doesn’t it? Guns(left mostly), tobacco (both sides), firearms (left, and too much of the right), abortion (right mostly), immigration (right mostly – and yeah, some GOP do get it but…many don’t seem to differentiate between legal and illegal.
Sigh.
@anarcho fascist – and I think I’ll go light up a STILL LEGAL AFTER ALL THESE YEARS cigarette, while I think about it.
Note to left – and to right. Make cigarettes illegal, and you will know you are in a fight.
fascist,
Yes drug prohibition is a small sliver. I intend to leverage it.
