Said the guy who is intolerant of anyone who holds a view other than his own. Talk about a hypocrite. Must have spent too many years following the Grateful Dead tour bus around. I'm sensing you are down to your last few brain cells.

Hey, I'm a conservative and I attended over 20 Dead concerts...and I can guarantee you I wasn't straight for any of them!

I love how people on this board really believe that ad hominem attacks are legitimate arguments.

Sorry to disappoint you but I don't use drugs and attended Dead concerts straight.

Cujo

How could you attend without drugs ?

For years at the end there were spontaneous AA and NA meetings at their concerts. Kind of narrow thinking to believe that it's necessary to use drugs.

Are you a conservative? That would explain your belief that groups who come together march in absolute LOCKSTEP

Not at all. She's stoking the civil war. She's expressed her hatred (literally) for fiorina, fiorina is firing back. You all know me well enough that there is nothing I enjoy more than a circular republican firing squad.

This shows you once again how wrong you typically are. You think she makes sense. I see she's on my tv and Internet about 5% as much as she was a decade ago. There are all kinds of articles out ther about how various sections of the republican base hate her and don't trust her. So thanks for getting her out there again.

On a serious note she is so wrong about drug addiction. No mention of the overdoes from prescription oxy and Vicodin. That's the epidemic with the new class of white suburban drug addict. Many do turn to heroin once addicted and after they can't satisfy their habit with prescriptions anymore. To lay a problem like this at the feet of the Mexicans precludes progress on the public health issue this is.

Build a wall and the number of oxy addicts in this country does not change a bit.

This is an example of how conservatives really don't want to take on a problem, just want to USE problems to,scapegoat and lie.

Boy she sure has you and your ilk pegged though...

Instead, pandering politicians give fiery speeches about drug addiction being a "disease." However that may be, drug addiction is the only disease that you absolutely can't catch if you never take drugs. (I also don't see anyone getting rich by giving people the measles or pneumonia.)

As Donald Trump has said, the best way to avoid becoming addicted to drugs is never to start.
It's harder to stay away from drugs when Mexico is flooding the country with them. But no politician -- except Trump -- would dare suggest that we keep the drugs out.

Carly Fiorina talks about how she "buried a child to drug addiction," on her way to saying "the war on drugs has failed." Her main objective is to ensure that "families that are suffering through this know that they should not feel ashamed or stigmatized."

How about not making them suffer through the hell of a drug-addicted child in the first place by keeping drugs out of the country?

Marco Rubio thinks we need government programs to "teach students skills to avoid gangs, violence and drugs."

Yes, it's American kids' fault. While we're teaching them about drugs, how about a government program to teach people skills to not to give all their money to scammers like Bernie Madoff, instead of criminally prosecuting scam investment firms?

Chris Christie gives passionate speeches about drug addiction being a "disease" that "can happen to anyone," before demanding that we "start treating people in this country, not jailing them."

Why is the only choice: a) Blame the addict or b) Don't blame the addict? How about option c) Blame the drug dealers? Oh I remember! We can't blame the drug dealers because diversity is a strength!


Not one Republican presidential candidate, other than Trump, has any intention of going after the Mexican drug cartels operating freely in our country. Absolutely none but Trump would consider building a wall on our border. Only Trump has denounced the anchor baby racket. Did I mention that El Chapo's kids are American anchor babies?

Instead, the other candidates twist and turn to find some way to blame Americans for the fact that the country is drowning in drugs -- brought in by innocent Mexicans.

The New York Times' response to the heroin epidemic is to express smug satisfaction that white Americans suddenly care about drug addicts now that their kids are the addicts.

I'm sorry, but with 50,000 Americans dying every year from drug overdoses, could you put away your "racism" hobbyhorse for five minutes, New York Times? It's stupid, it's not helpful, and it's not true.

The recent surge in heroin overdoses is hitting black and white Americans about equally. According to the CDC, heroin overdose deaths from 2013 to 2014 (the most recent years available) increased by 8 percent for non-Hispanic whites, and increased 8.2 percent for non-Hispanic blacks.

Curiously, heroin deaths of Hispanics increased by 0.0 percent. They aren't the users; they're the pushers.

But don't play the old "blame the perpetrator" game! That would be nativist.

Hillary proposes that the federal government spend more money -- a billion dollars a year -- to fight drug addiction. Unless that billion is spent on building a wall, her policy prescription is nothing but a government-worker full-employment plan.

Bernie Sanders gets chesty about "the pharmaceutical industry and the drug companies who are producing all of these drugs and not looking at the consequence of it."

If only we could see a little of that righteous anger directed toward the overwhelming source of illegal drugs in the U.S.: Mexico.

It's true that overdose by prescription drugs is the leading cause of overdose deaths, but that's a trick: The CDC classifies all opioid pain reliever deaths as "prescription" opioid overdoses -- whether or not an actual doctor or "prescription" was involved. Guess who's moved into the "prescription" drug business in a big way? That would be Mexico.

But instead of blaming grimy, soulless criminals like El Chapo, who brags about his "fleet of submarines, airplanes, trucks and boats" -- bought with drug money -- let's blame American pharmaceutical companies doing God's work by trying to ease the pain of dying cancer patients.

The CEOs of pharmaceutical companies are mostly Americans -- probably white men! -- so they're safe to hate.

Only Donald Trump has made the inarguable point that the most effective way to avoid catching this particular disease is never to start taking drugs. Only Trump would make it a lot harder to start by building a wall and sending Mexican drug dealers and anchor babies home. Only Trump doesn't blame America first.

I am not a fan of Coulter, and you make some good points. However it goes a little deeper.


The single most important issue is the ever dropping price of heroin on the street. The price drop is courtesy of the people that are importing it. Considering that the heroin is " stepped on " numerous times, it is a lucrative business for all participating in the chain. Except for the end user of course .

The next issue is who uses it ? We have heard from the Drug War crowd that Heroin use is achieved by the availability and use of gateway drugs like marijuana. An important side note to that is that what commonly isn't mentions is that it isn't the drug that is the gateway, but the admittance to a culture where drugs are available . The street dealer selling marijuana usually sell other illicit drugs. The coke dealer in the bar can probably score other drugs also. This is the recreational track.

Another recent gateway drug has been the drugs prescribed by physicians legally. As the prescription runs out, and if the pain persists , or the desire prevails , the addiction is on course for a collision with cheaper heroin.

So there are two distinct issues to deal with regarding the end user. Each would call for different strategies to solve the problems. Cutting off the supply would be near impossible, even with a wall.

The threat of radical Islam is something the average American needs to forget about and concentrate on decreasing their fat intake and virtually eliminate refined sugar and bad fats. There are your real KILLERS

and guns.

and guns.

1,000,000% more americans die of gun violence than any sort of terrorist activity.

Don't see folks worried about doing anything to stop americans from murdering each other. Easier to focus on outsiders (that have extremely little effect).

LOL Marijuana is no more a gateway drug to heroin than smoking leads to crack.
