Dianne Feinstein: All authoritarian, all the time.

Can we please for f**k's sake stop referring to "fiscally liberal but socially conservative" (unlike you lol) politicians as "authoritarian"? That's not what the word means or how it has ever been used by anyone worth listening.

Fine,  "all nanny-statist, all the time" then.

Also it'd be incorrect to describe either Feinstein or Michael Bloomberg (the two most prominent politicians of this breed) as "socially conservative".

Lol, Atlas.

How many 83 year olds in elected office are for pot legalization?  This really has to be one of the worst places for political analysis.

Ron Paul is 80 and Bernie Sanders is 74. Not that far off.

Thank God, for the democrats that stand up as against the libertarian orthodoxy. Pot does not need to be legalized, nor should it, this is essentially so some college kids can do whatever the f*k they want, and be stoners.

Its also so millions of non-violent people who are only doing harm to themselves aren't considered criminals anymore. But that's way less important than being able to do whatever the f**k people want.

That can be solved by decriminalization though, not necessarily legalization.

I'd vote yes on legalization if it was on the ballot, but I really couldn't care less either way. Decriminalization is the much higher priority in my mind.

But marijuana is already decriminalized in California, in order to deflate support at the last referendum a law was passed which makes it not punishable by anything but a citation and fine and a speeding ticket would likely give a bigger fine. Full legalization is the only step further you can take.
