Most Cons are in prison for much more serious crimes than marijuana. They probably don't care.
This isn't a liberal/Conservative issue, it is a Federal vs State issue, however since you ask I see the issue as a positive. Eric Holder is the single largest piece of crap to ever infect the DOJ. He is a traitor with a long history of working on behalf of Communist and Terrorist organizations under the guise of a prosecutor.
On the other hand we have California as Socially and Economically bankrupt state that has spent years interfering with the politics of other states with impunity. Why would any Conservative care if they passed a law that would cause drug addicts, drug dealers and other human waste to migrate there and concentrate them into one already designated cesspool of humanity? Combine this with the added benefit of a leftist traitor AG going after Leftist Traitors that infest our left coast and I can't see a down side to that.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
