This is new:

I also would review my presidential pardon and commutation powers as a possible means to reduce the number of people in federal prison for non-violent drug offenses. We can no longer afford the human and economic costs of imprisoning so many thousands of people for drug possession. This is the most destructive impact of drug prohibition.

I don’t think Barr had talked about using the pardon power in this wayin the campaign to date. Good for him.

In other words: “When I had the power to do something, I defended the drug war. Now I’m against it.” Guess what, I’m still bitter that the LP didn’t pick Gravel – the guy who consistently voted for libertarian causes and filibustered for them and WENT TO THE SUPREME COURT for them when he had the chance, not after he left office.

Why do you keep putting BARR in all caps? Is he an acronym now?

WAMMY!

Of course, the truth is he probably STOPPED using drugs when he became an anti-drug warrior. It’s important for Barr to be as hypocritical as possible (see cheating on his wife and paying for her abortion while touting family values as prime example).

Let’s be fair to Barr, he’s really going all out on this issue. It’s obvious they have even started using heavy drugs at his campaign headquarters over the past few days.

Yeah. This one marginally good article undoes ALL of the evil.

Oh, wait… No it doesn’t.

BTW: Notice that we posted this, as we do anything of any significance that Barr does in a positive sense. It’s just that that’s very rare.
