Way to go Eugene OR.

[Moss]

Where does the article say that? The only reference to MMJ is that the mayor of Eugene, OR declared the first week in May as Medical Marijuana Awareness Week.

 

Palin didn't address it. She just went to am area that supports it because enough people were willing to pay to see her.

At least the Mayor is Cool. SP just sellin her donkey off ...

As the article says:

 

At $250 a head, the party has sold out the Eugene Hilton hall where Palin will speak. The hall seats about 800, and the party has also sold most of the $100 seats in an overflow room with a video feed, Young said.

 

Seventy people who donated $1,000 will get a photo with Palin and a signed copy of her

 

book. Reporters can watch on video, but can't use recording devices.

Sarah Palin is not for MMJ

I still don't understand how sarah palin got associated with the tea baggers. It just seems a like a media ploy to try and unify the tea baggers back with GOP interests in the long run. Having schisms in your voting base is a sure way to lose seats during the election.

 

Resigning Governorship of Alaska to become a pundit shows really shows where her true concern is. She is making more money now doing that, that she has ever before in her life.

 

Then again, all the information i've ever received about her came from the media, so i'm just as biased as anyone else out there.

Tea Baggers please note that since your half wit, half term governor abandoned her job, her republican party replacement has since managed to repeal Alaska's liberal pot laws. If the GOP manages to win the governorship of Michigan, then you can expect the same to happen to you.

That is why we all have to get on board and learn

who all our candidates are and what they are about.

It is our chance to turn the great State of Michigan

into a place where our representatives actually do

represent our best interests.

Or... at least we should be informed enough to

make a choice of what we perceive as the lesser

of the two evils?!

 

There are posts in the Activism Forum that

give the names, party affiliation etc...

FYI.

Especially if that Mike (sucks) Cox wins! Michigan needs a fiscal conservative governor to get the State back on track but Cox would be a total disaster.

 

Why do so called Conservative anti-government types always favor the wars? Whether is a war on drugs, or on terror, they are always on the wrong side of history. Liberals just want to push us around and take our money so they can buy votes. Conservatives want to push us around and control our ability to vote via draconian criminal laws.

 

Is there a pattern here?

I've never met a conservative who was pro-mmj, and certainly not pro legalization. Now i'm not a liberal but I have to say it seems like the liberal democrats are more in favor of legalization than conservative republicans. I find it funny conservatives claim they are for limited government, but have no problem letting the government tell you what plants you're allowed to have in your front lawn.

 

Then again, ron paul is a conservative and he's 100% pro legalization.

[+wolfgang]

having more conservative/libertarian leanings than liberal left,I am offended when you use the term "tea baggers" the term is sexual and frankly I think its rude to call one that I support the tea party,I agree with the one comment the republicans are always screaming smaller government and yet they want to control this issue,,the liberal left has "said" they support us but wth have they REALLY done??

Remember Todd Palin got popped for weed back in the day,wouldnt surprise me if he still uses if given the chance as he has always claimed he's an independent,just saying stop with the tea bagging slurs,rude,rude,rude!

Some of this is from a previous post I did.

Yes, Ron Paul understands what it means to be a true conservative. He is the friend of the individual. Your friend!! As are all who stand for individual rights.

Wow, more people are waking up to the fact that it is some or many large corporations working with the government that are against us free individuals in this country. It is in their interests to strengthen their groups, weather it be republican, democrat, however you want to dress up the ruling elite at the expense of us individuals, which happens far too often.

 

We need to get back to "Objective" laws, and get rid of "Subjective" ones. This would be a start, to find a constitutionally centered candidate who supports your rights to live your own life.

 

Objective Law Ex: You infringed on another person's right to live for their own sake. You injured them in some way and must be held accountable in a court of law. You stole from them or killed them or controlled them in some way against their will. These types of laws are easy to understand because they are fundamental to each person's right to live for their own sake, unencumbered by the threat of force from any king, gang, mob, government, or any other person. As long as you do not infringe on another person's rights, you should be free to live your life, pursue your happiness, and enjoy but be ever vigil of your liberty!

 

Subjective Law Ex: You think driving a certain speed should be illegal. You believe marijuana, or alcohol, or of these substances should be illegal for moral or some other reason. You think everyone should have to comply with some larger consensus, even at the cost of some individuals rights or lives (for the greater good, of course). You believe people cannot be trusted to govern themselves, so therefore there needs to be a law about everything so that nobody can ever make a mistake, or achieve greatness, or know their full potential because you have removed their free will. You can make up whatever law you wish "for the greater good" but what happens is the greater good is always greater for some than for others. Subjective laws are just someone's opinion as to what everyone should do in a given situation. These types of laws may be well meaning but subjective information should never be more than a suggestion.

 

People have been played too long "It's the republicans" or "it's the democrats" when in fact it is both of them against us individual people.

Lets wake up and get our freedoms back and more secure.

What do libertarians and teabaggers think the governments responsibilities are in regards to say something like the "BP Transocean Deepwater Horizon" oil spill? Leave it to BP? Or big government intervention? Stock holders and oil executives are concerned with the bottom line. Recover oil if economically advantageous to the company otherwise just abandon and move on. Mother nature can clean up with time and no human intervention.

[Bisharoo]

Ahh, but human intervention will help speed things up, just as when lightning causes a forest fire and humans put it out, and we will get our gulf back to health.

Well, since I am not a libertarian nor have I been to a teabagger rally, I can't speak for them. But as a conservative, again, it is really simple to prove damages in a court of law. BP must get it stopped and clean it up. They have no right to encroach on our right to live for our own sake, persue happiness, or violate any of our country's laws. They can't pollute or destroy our food supply and eco-system without incurring a tremendous price. We will be able to sue for damages. We must, however, make sure our government does not do a deal with them to let them off the hook.

If they are smart, they will pay over and above expectations to make things right, because this is where the free market puts pressure on BP by not buying their products, at least until we are satisfied that they have lived up to their responsibilities. If they don't fix this, and soon, they will be out of business.

At that point we could see a volunteer force of all kinds of scientists and workers and all who wish to help (which is most Americans) to pitch in and share the work and cost to do it. If the governement would get out of the way, we could get this done.

It's just good knowing how IMPOSSIBLE it is to poison the Earth's oceans. Don't worry, be happy!

Yes, the earth is quite a strong, vibrant, resilliant woman!

[lawyercaregiver]

The term Tea Bagger is certainly offensive. I went to a Tea Party in Lansing and I saw a whole bunch of people from all walks of life- white, black, red etc. The movement is mainly in opposition to the Marxist crap we are getting from Washington these days.

 

Also, fyi Conservatives would be very unlikely to favor legalization. They are all about traditional values, morals, and other things that don't exist.

 

Libertarians are the fiscal conservatives (i.e. low taxes, responsible government etc) who believe in personal liberty over traditional values and mores.

 

Fire it up!

 

Also, just to stir the pot (pun intended) check out these pics of the Mall after Obama was emaculated and a Tea Party. lmfao!

Shouldn't we be eliminating most of the federal agencies now working in the Gulf of Mexico? Smaller government! Let BP tend to BP business. If oil recovery is not profitable then simply abandon the well and let mother nature take care of things. So it leaks at the current rate for 30 years or more. Why should BP stockholders give a darn? No dividends in it for some time now due to the stinking socialists in Washington. Let BP's people go!

Why do so called Conservative anti-government types always favor the wars?

 

Because of two core beliefs.

1. Corporations can do no wrong and should be free to operate however they wish.

2. Christianity believes we are all sinners and have to be kept in line. So they are only for personal freedoms as long as it fits into their religious beliefs. And in religion there is nothing more important to control than the mind.

Gary Johnson former governor of New Mexico. I never have voted Republican. This is the guy that could change my mind.

That is what Faux News was calling them before they knew what the porno meaning was. Besides the correct term would be teabaggie as they are being teabagged by the corporation who are sponsoring the movement.

 

I don't understand how pot smokers and bikers have become so conservative. The very people who will be some of the first to be in prison or left to fend for themselves if those people come to power. It is like gay people helping the Nazi's find Jews not understanding they were next.

and I'll never understand how some of my fellow pot users want the federal government in our business,the left always want BIGGER government,more regulations,as a libertarian myself I want smaller goverenmnt,I cant identify with anything the left even stands for,the conservative base is not anything I really can grab unto either,what i cant understand is why more of "our" ppl arent riding the shirtails of the tea party? they want you and I too have our rights,for our elected leaders to abide the constitution.

[+wolfgang]

I'm pretty sure as well that MSNBC and Mahr started the whole teabagging term.

They also want to deregulate businesses. That is what caused the financial meltdown and the golf oil gusher.

 

Deregulating wall street created an environment where giving any loans made money for the lenders because those loans were bundled into mortgage back securities who companies like Goldman Sachs sold to their clients as good deals then took out credit default swaps essentially betting against their own customers. Dishonest and unethical. Twenty years ago the regulators would have never allowed this to happen.

 

The US Minerals Management Service who was supposed to be the watchdog who regulates the oil industry was taking bribes and sleeping with oil lobbyist. Because of those favors and the deregulation culture in the Bush whitehouse MMS started helping big oil get around EPA regulations instead of regulating them like they were charged with.

 

The far right is only for freedom of businesses. It was the far right that started this war on drugs. They want total control over the citizens even how they can medicate themselves.
