Ron Paul: Moving Towards Tobacco Prohibition 6/15/09

Ron Paul talks about the disastrous tobacco legislation that recently passed, which simply amounts to more liberties taken away for "own own good."

"Bills like this take us down exactly the wrong path. Instead of gaining more freedom with marijuana, we are moving closer to prohibiting tobacco. Our prisons are already bursting with non-violent drug offenders. How long will it be before a black market in tobacco fills the prisons with non-violent cigarette smokers?"
--Ron Paul

i'm not a smoker and don't like tobacco personally, but this is an outrage. Anytime government seizes more of our liberties they become more and more facist. We need to get rid of our current politicians (with the exception of Dr. Paul of course), and start over with ones that actually obey and honor the CONSTITUTION!

Who else besides Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich dont use the constitution as a doormat ?

@KripDrip You don't seem to have an understanding of the Constitution do you? It's supposed to protect people's freedoms and limit government so people can choose what they want to do, healthy or not. I suppose you also support heavy regulation of food and banning of fried food since it causes health problems also

@KripDrip Wow, you couldn't sound like more of an asshole if you tried. How does wanting people to have freedom to live how they want to live mean he loves cancer?

[KripDrip]
