Posted a thread in the Politics 2012 forum about Ron Paul......... [View all]

I'd like for y'all to take a look at it. The title is "Ron Paul supports the death penalty for marijuana possession".

Worker's Power is doing an article on Paul and this was one thing I took out of it. Paul's supposed "anti drug law" stance is based strictly in his support of 10th Amendment "State's Rights" arguments. So if Mississippi, Tennessee, or even California enacted a law mandating the death penalty for marijuana possession, Paul would philosophically HAVE TO BE IN FAVOR OF IT.

The article also delves into Paul's fascist background. I'll link it when it's posted on the web site.
