whatever happened to the war on drugs?

[mopaul]

hey, remember the 80's? ronnie raygun was gonna make sure the world was safe from people who are high. he promised america would be drug free very soon, nancy said 'just say no', and millions were arrested and jailed for lengthy terms, just as the nation is flooded with crack cocaine. the bush's themselves were involved in bringing in tons of the shit.....oh wait, i'm hallucinating again....sorry.

1. The war was fought....drugs won.

Seriously, like most things governmental this so-called war turned into a cash cow for law enforcement agencies,the prison industry and those akin........

[Terwilliger]

9. nah, your subject said it all...the drugs won

I just the same won't be true for the "war on terrorism" :eyes:

3. It's now the "War on Terror - Narco-Terror Division"...

It got wrapped in shortly after 9/11. We're not fighting drugs - we're fighting narco-terrorists.

11. The Drug War is "being held in reserve"

Trust me, when the roundups and arrests begin (during the reign of Lame-Duck Fuehrer*...Emperor Jeb...Emperor I'm-a-Bushevik-but-my-name-ain't-Bush-so-stop-calling-us-an-Imperial-Dynasty...or during the Mad Reign of Emperor George P. Caligula?...even now sharpening his fangs at various prep schools), the Drug War will be a convenient excuse to round up and arrest numerous political enemies.

Oh no, the Drug War is NOT gone. It is merely waiting to fufil it's function in the ongoing Bushevik Operation Ending Freedom, waged slowly but mercilessly against the Imperial Subjects of Amerika.
