Dear Editor:
When will we conservative Christians learn? How long will we sit by and let these destructive self-indulged, atheistic, logic-deprived liberals ruin our lives and our country? We silently put up with the most asinine ideas that make no sense and offer nothing but the degradation of self respect! Of course when one considers the liberal complicit media and their enabling of this human destruction by their silence, what should one expect?
I reference an 8/20/2016 NY Post article by Naomi Schaefer Riley "Legalized pot is making America's lower class poorer and less responsible".
(nypost.com/2016/08/20/legalized-pot-is-making-americas-lower-class-poorer-and-less-responsible/).
Who other than a pot head would think the legalization of pot wouldn't be just another slippery slope contribution to the destruction of our society? Elite liberals, that's who!
Quotes from the article: "At least five states have measures on the ballot this fall that would legalize recreational use. And that number is only likely to rise with an all-time high (no pun intended) of 58 percent of Americans (according to a Gallup poll last year) favoring legalization. The effects of these new laws have been immediate. One study, which collected data from 2011-12 and 2012-13 showed a 22 percent increase in monthly use in Colorado. The percentage of people there who used daily or almost daily also went up. So have marijuana-related driving fatalities. And so have incidents of children being hospitalized for accidentally ingesting edible marijuana products.
"But legalization and our growing cultural acceptance of marijuana have disproportionately affected one group in particular: the lower class.
"For instance, people who have a household income of less than $20,000 a year comprise 19 percent of the population but make up 28 percent of marijuana users.
"The middle and upper classes have been the ones out there pushing for decriminalization and legalization measures, and they have also tried to demolish the cultural taboo against smoking pot.
"But the poor, who already have a hard time holding down jobs and taking care of their families, are more frequently using a drug that makes it harder for them to focus, to remember things and to behave responsibly."
Remember step 8. "From dependence to bondage." What better way to achieve economic slavery than drugs.
God save America.
