But the larger question is, if we legalize marijuana based upon personal liberty principles, why stop there? If your argument is a personal choice one, then government has no business denying you any substance.

Yeah, so I guess if we legalized pot, Obama and his (in)Justice Department could bring their operation out in the open and declare it all legal. Maybe he could campaign on bringing us drugs and killing Mexicans...

John G: Note he only mentioned marijuana, the least of our worries. The drug gangs go to war over cocaine and other hard substances, not pot.

Legalizing pot would not solve the ills described by Governor Johnson.

I notice he only mentioned marijuana, which is the least of our worries. Drug gangs are fighting over cocaine and harder stuff; not pot.

Legalizing pot would probably be overall benign, but it would solve none of the problems Johnson mentions.

I don't know what my family and I will do next Sunday. Probably go hiking.

We have learned exactly nothing and have only succeeded in violating more civil liberties.

Happy 10 year anniversary!

We could start by no longer allowing Muslim immigration. Perfectly legal since a nation has the right to craft its own immigration policies.

I do believe the vast majority of Muslims are good people, but our government has proven itself woefully inept at sorting the good from the bad.

I share Gaffney's concern that Sharia gain no toehold in the US. Much of it is incompatible with out God-given freedoms protected by the constitution and it has no place in the civilized world.

Unfortunately for Gaffney, his crusade in this article has nothing to do with Governor Christie's newest NJ Supreme Court appointee.

What particularly incensed Governor Christie was the smear by implication. The Muslim lawyer in question defended Muslims accused by the government after 9/11, none of whom were convicted. Since when is providing legal representation un-American or somehow uniquely Islamic? Is defending an accused murderer and endorsement of murder? Further, this lawyer, now on the NJ supreme court, never voiced any support for Sharia.

Gaffney is a sensationalist, using the recent deaths in Afghaistan to grab out attention on a just barely related topic. Go back and read the article again. It is telling that he could not connect this Muslim man with any of the Islamic activities he rightly deplores.

Being a law-abiding Muslim is not a crime. We have thousands serving honorably in our armed forces.

A better tack than this would be to focus on criminal behavior and prosecute it and stop badgering law-abiding citizens.

I cannot disagree. We have a big problem in the District of Criminals, but I'm not going to stand by dumb and let a commie bash my country, no matter how off track it may be right now.

What a jackass. This is rich coming from the corruption capital of the world, where legions of brain dead alcoholics die each year from drinking antifreeze.

Wade through all of RBOT's unhinged rantings, and you see he has provided no evidence of any connection between American Tea Partiers and this tragedy.

The left deals in talking points and propaganda, which explains how complete disasters like Barack Obama can become president of the United States.

Keep it up RBOT! You are a stellar example of the loony left!
