Residents of Oregon, Alaska, and the nation's capital voted to legalize marijuana on Tuesday, in key victories that could fuel the legalization movement as cannabis usage is increasingly recognized by the American mainstream.
The Oregon and Alaska measures would legalize recreational pot use and usher in a network of retail pot shops similar to those operating in Washington state and Colorado, which in 2012 voted to become the first states to allow marijuana use for fun.

This is clearly a rightwing plot to destroy the liberal establishment by making them potheads.
Gee. I thought they already were.
ReplyDeleteThe moves in Alaska and Oregon struck me as formalizing an already existing, though informal arrangement in those states. I'm not condoning it, it seems to me that a strong motivation is to try to get tax money from retail sales.
ReplyDeleteI also had heard a person interviewed on NPR from Washington D.C., which also passed a measure legalizing pot, express the opinion that underage kids were LESS likely to experiment with pot due to the LACK of a stigma associated with it. So, there's some anecdotal evidence that the rightwing plot is further along that we thought.
EA, LOL.
DeleteWhen you look at the fantastical nature of the liberal utopia, which imagines man is basically good, and things from laws regarding sexual immorality to child spanking to wars are not necessary, and benefits based upon merit, and mercy being contrary to justice, is wrong, and Islam etc. only does bad things because of George Bush "evil vs good" thinking and colonialism (Climate Change must also fit in someplace), and which era their dream political Messiah has put behind, ushering a 1,000 years of progressive realization of the liberal dream - and thus are paralyzed when ISIS starts chopping off heads - then a rational person (maybe prior to 1960) would have to conclude one must be on drugs to believe it. But which now the masses are deluded into believing without drugs. Mainstream madness.
ReplyDeleteBut actually this socialist Woodstock utopia (the fruit of which, without the establishment they rebelled against them out,was seen in Haight-Ashbury in the "summer of love), in which the gov. supplies all, with the industrious being compelled to provide the indolent and drug addict with the same standard of living, under the liberal elite, was what so many 60's liberals sought. And like the devil, they saw themselves as the elite who should occupy the admin building (some did for a time) in recognition of their superiority they saw in themselves. Refusal to recognize them as so means you are racist, or homophobic, or whatever.
The devil is the author of this, as in Communism, as he seeks to establish his rival kingdom to that of God, with demonic perversions of God's order, homosexual marriage being a primary one. And in which the devil rules by proxy thru the typical leftist liberals who subscribe to his " occupy movement," "share the wealth" rebellious usurpation.
Suffer me to develop this further, which perhaps you want to tweak.
The original "Occupy Movement/Share the wealth" movement was that of,
" I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High." (Isaiah 14:13-14)
It seems the idea was that the eternal Creator was selfishly not recognizing the greatness of Lucifer - a glorious angel God created - who lusted after God's position, power and the worship which He alone is manifestly worthy of. And which lack of recognition the devil saw as an injustice, being not content with what God's graciously had given him, and consequently developed a root of bitterness (Heb. 12:15) by which many were defiled (a perfect creation means one who can make choices). Which can infect both the disgruntled Christian - how well I know myself - to the angry atheist.
And who thus in self-will determined that he would take what was unearned by which was rightfully his in his own estimation, and apparently that of a quite few Hollywood-type admirers.
But being cast down along with his fellows he sought to bring Eve into allegiance to him, by working to also convince he that she was a victim, entitled to what God alone possessed, that God should "share the wealth" which He was selfishly and maliciously keeping from her, focusing on the one thing she could not have out of the wealth of the Garden. And lusting after pleasure, possession and prestige, she disobeyed her Creator and then gave Adam to eat, and the rest in history. (Gn. 3:1-7)
Since then the devil has been working to reign thru his proxies who likewise are infected by and or work to instill and play off the victim entitlement mentality, under the "share the wealth" program, and inciting them to demand the benefits others are worthy of under a system of honest works/benefit.
To be continued.
But which is in order to present themselves as the saviors of such that they may selfishly reign as the elite, and as in Communism used this seduction, the end result is worse oppression than whatever these "saviors" claimed they would deliver them from. The Left in America needs to perpetuate this, and thus needs the Right to blame, rather than their overall ethos actually having proven merit.
ReplyDeleteIt enlists as workers other liberals who resent the laws of God, and seek to justify their fornication etc. by advocating for the poor as victims of those who earned the right to benefits, pushing for the divestiture of their benefits in order to create a one class system, but like their leaders, seldom sacrificially giving much themselves.
For in reality, their leaders, the self-proclaimed "saviors" of the poor, want to be the only ones in power, ruling over the rest which end up in one class of poverty, which is the result of inciting those who do not want God's laws and His system of benefits by merit, and rise up and penalize those in who operate according to that proven system of merit and do not politically support the liberal elitists.
Only under Gods system of merit is there true charity, in mercy and grace from those who rightfully warranted possessing benefits themselves, and which are voluntarily given to help those whom it sees are suffering due to their own sins and or that of others, under the premise that those given mercy and grace should themselves work toward being suppliers, according to ability.
Which is contrary to the perpetual welfare state that liberal elitists (socialist Stalin being one) depend upon for their power, including the idea that those suffering due to indolence or other sins - or work for and support the government - have a right to the benefits of those who earned them, and who do not politically support the liberal elitists. Which workers are presented as selfish not having a right to them, and must be compelled to divest themselves of what they have merited.
Yet note that "work" can mean any honest productive industrious labor. Under the liberal ethos, which obtains allegiance mainly thru manipulative pathos, "take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you," (Matthew 6:31-33) is effectively rendered.
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the capitalists seek:) for your Godvernment knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first to promote this Godvernment and its victim-entitlement mentality, and enlist in the multitude of the programs it provides you who are victims of the capitalists. (Marx 6:31-33)
Salvation from Hell to Heaven is both mercy - not getting what you deserve - and grace - getting what you did not deserve on Christ expense and credit (the elect having been drawn by God, and their heart opened, and granted repentant faith, (Jn. 6:44; 12:32; Acts 11:18; Eph. 2:8,9) so that they do what they otherwise could not and would not do, and thus characteristically work to please the Object of their faith - and are grieved by their sins when they realize they did not - but which is purposed to bring the recipients themselves to be as the Giver in character, (Rm. 8:4) and be channels of His mercy and grace to others, and whose faith is rewarded under grace for so doing. (Heb. 11:35)
Thus while the devil who sought to "climb up some other way," (Jn. 10:1)
To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. (Revelation 3:21-22) Thank God.
