The President has made it clear that he is not going to fight to new legalized marijuana laws in Wash state and Col are the least of his worries and I think that is a good sign. I don't think the conservatives can say much either because they are always screaming for states rights and if they want their harsh abortion and immagration laws not to challenged then they almost have to go along with the peoples will in Washington and Colorado.

A new day is coming where pot smokers are not treated like idiots and threated just like a person who drinks,smokes or eats too much. It is called freedom and it is about time the land of the free starts being free. We no longer need moral crusaders creating laws that hurt personal freedom in the name of personal morality. I am glad the president has this attitude and lets hope it continues.

I agree that many federal laws are rediculous, however, the idea of a state's rights should be coupled with a state's responsibility. If WA and CO do not want to uphold federal law then they should lose all federal funding.

Tell that to those who want to take the guns away......

Then should Kansas and Oklahoma both lose federal funding for their redneck abortion laws or AZ for their redneck immagration laws that also defy federal laws.

The left does not want to take guns away from people. Just a cooan sence aproach to crazies shooting up schools.

Sounds OK to me. We just cut federal spending to five states in two minutes! ;)

Then apparently you have missed the debate as I see quite a few people wanting to take guns away........

I am sorry my libertarian friend. When I see that Texas Longhorn thing I automatically think you are a conservative like most of Texas. Even though I live in liberal Washington state I was born in Ada Oklahoma and know forst hand what a bunch of backward thinking social conservatives run those places. The Longhorns are not going to fire Max Brown are they? He is still one of the best coachs out there and it would be sad. You should come up to Washington state and check it out. It is as lovely a state as you will ever see.

The President said he was not for violating the second admenment but would like to keep crazies from shooting up our schools. I can see AK-47's and the like being illegal without talikng handguns from people. That is another debate my friend.

Its Mack Brown and he will likely last another year or two before retirement. I hope Major Applewhite gets the job as his replacement. Austin is very liberal and San Antonio is very Mexican, being in between I see many goofy laws by the left as well, like outdoor tobacco smoking bans. If that is not too much gov't then I don't know what is, but we will likely see with more "liberals" elected. ;)

Haha! Regarding Mack Brown, was at a wedding and was talking to a LSU fan. He was complaining about Les Miles so I asked him who he would want as coach. The guy said Mack Brown! I'm like "isn't he like 300 years old?"

He's a spry 61, barely broken in. ;)

I wonder how Bob Stoops does it. Have you seen how hot his wife is? I bet he can barely walk.I think it is a good thing that the President is not acting like a PC dweeb on the marijuana issue. All to often the party of marijuana smokers has gone along with the PC anti drug BS that is out there and at times has been just as big an enemy as the social conservatives have been to legalizing marijuana.
