Habitual too. You all remember his comparison for homosexuality to murder last year.
How about we defeat Scott Renfroe!
You can also visit Ken Storck’s website.
If he’d said this one day earlier, it would have been on the 40th anniversary of the Kent State shootings. Dodged that bullet (so to speak).
Pharmaceutical HACK!
Do you recognize where that came from Sen. Renfroe? You should, because you took an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States when you took office.
If you advocate the violation of constitutional rights under color of law by people peaceably assembled advocating a change to a failed government policy, then you should resign from the Colorado Senate immediately since you are violating your oath of office.
I don’t think fear of the crazed potheads is a going to be a very successful rightie wedge issue or look over there distraction these days. Too many really scary things to worry about.
Actually, if you legalized domestically grown and only domestically grown pot for adults only and put a reasonable tax on it you could spoil the market for drug runners from south of the border (at least runners in the pot market) and use the money raised for border security and enforcement against employers of illegals.
We really do need to have secure borders for comprehensive immigration reform to be anything more than a new set of rules and regs no more respected, obeyed or successfully enforced than the old set.
That squishy greyness just lets the corporate lacky pols perpetuate the wink wink while we rail system that we have now, a system that lets them have their cake (anti-them hysteria for lathering up the base) and eat it too (cheap, powerless, fearful, labor that can be treated without regard to any rights, regs or privileges, their favorite kind).
We need an agreed on and consistently enforced and enforceable set of rules coupled with the fullest possible control of our borders. Legalized domestic pot could be very helpful in reaching those goals.

They might eat all your Doritos or take over your couch. Does Renfroe really think it takes the National Guard to combat that?

Today’s weed is 1.7 million times stronger. I think I heard the Drug Czar quote that number as one of the reasons to keep it illegal.

hope a bill doesn’t pass forcing us to watch reefer madness again
as long as its required you be stoned when it’s watched.
lol!
Just really stupid. Amusing, but stupid.
They herded us in the auditorium and made us watch the movie. There really wasn’t much pot use in my school at that time, so it helped get the ball rolling so to speak.
in the Student Union. They must have been using some new “aromavision” technology, because the smell of pot smoke was thick in the air….
I’m only the reefer-smoking piano player.

He’s mad that people assembling to support cannabis outnumbered the tax protesters (or what ever the Tea Whatevers were protesting) by about 4 to 1.
The furor over Renfroe’s homosexuality comments struck me as artificial, the creation of angry activists and their enablers.
The same will probably happen here. Pot activists are generally self-indulgent pretentious man-children who want people to approve their destructive hedonism. I’m glad somebody still has the gall to suggest that their prominence is a sign of a poor society.
Many of Renfroe’s critics will just say the equivalent of “Quit harshing my mellow!”
… relevant to this discussion of an elected official arguing for a crackdown on a protest?
are always more comfortable when dissent is stifled at gunpoint.
All they were saying is give peace a chance
Alchol drinkers are generally self-indulgent pretentious man-children who want people to approve their destructive hedonism. I’m glad somebody still has the gall to suggest that their prominence is a sign of a poor society.
How many Iraqis have died because a bunch of generally self-indulgent and fat American conservatives decided to seek revenge on the country that had no involvement in the mass murders on 9/11?
The bad news got worse as the carnage of all these senseless deaths seeped into their souls and made them indifferent to the suffering of others because they wrapped themselves in cloak of patriotic righteousness. Conservative warmongers are definitely bad news to the world. Their brethren in the Muslim world who also believe in violent politics and religious purity are just as extreme and more bad news.
Growing and smoking a plant seems fairly harmless compared to the destruction wrought in this world by the warmongers.
A legitimate question
to engage in a little Tiananmen Square squashing of dissent? Does that really ring your patriotic bell? Maybe the Guard can bring in some tanks to show just how egregious this gathering is to the state.
My bet is you have no problem with right-wing extremists gathering with weapons and talking about sedition and revolution. Are those the kind of gatherings that you find acceptable?
I was very uncomfortable with the nut jobs at Ed Perlmutter’s Commerce City event last fall.
Violence could have easily erupted.
I’m definitely opposed to the use of the military on US soil to perform police duties.
I’m sure that you meant the other guy.
“Renfroe’s homosexuality comments struck (you) as artificial” pretty much says it all.
Some people find criticism of blatant, ignorant bigotry to be “artificial.” Others find finding such criticism artificial to be nothing more than an endorsement (and thus expression) of blatant, ignorant bigotry.
Isn’t political discourse wonderful?
