As much as a social conservative as I am, I think the war on drugs is such a waste of gov't money. People are doing it anyway without regard for the law. The war on drugs can be supplemented by thriving local churches, non-profits and simply being a good neighbor. I grew up in a rural southern town where crystal meth was very prevalent. My church volunteered so much time to combating the meth problem in rural communities. I think citizens being purely altruistic, moral and compassionate are the solutions to these problems. I have helped many teens get off drugs by simply showing Christ's love. Plus, if Christians think there needs to be a war on drugs solely based on morals, there certainly needs to be a war on alcohol. I've seen so many families destroyed by it and it's legal.
Prostitution is a stickier subject. I really have no right answer except I think it's wrong for moral, which isn't a solid argument against a libertarian.

I feel the American presidency has been treated too royally, especially with Obama. It began with the whole “Kennedy Camelot” obsession and never recovered (we’re still obsessed with the Kennedy’s). George Washington thought of the American presidency as a public servant with the Constitution being the guidelines to create a limited but effective government. He refused to be called king and felt entitled to nothing. After his presidency, he wanted to be called a farmer, the noblest profession, he believed. Today, the American presidency gets so much useless attention such as who’s who a some fancy dinner party, where the president and first lady dine, what their wearing…WHO CARES? The presidency was made to carry out the limited parameters of the Constitution, nothing more. Yes, live in the white house for 4 to 8 years, but do your job, know the American people are your boss, feel entitled to nothing and lead based on our laws, nothing more.
Prince Charles has never squeezed his own toothpaste tube—toothpaste that was paid for by Brits that should be infuriated that this royal wedding approximately cost $70 million dollars. Plus, it costs businesses because they are declaring it a holiday. This reminds me of the one and only time I saw Obama walking in D.C with so many secret service people around him and more than a dozen personal assistants (whose salaries come from our taxes). He had someone put a straw in his water bottle and hold it up to him so he could drink. He can’t just hold a water bottle like the rest of us? Maybe he has someone squeeze his own toothpaste too. Absolutely ridiculous!
