John Ehrlichman - White House counsel to President Nixon

"Look, we understood we couldn't make it illegal to be young or poor or black in the United States, but we could criminalize their common pleasure. We understood that drugs were not the health problem we were making them out to be, but it was such a perfect issue...that we couldn't resist it."

- John Ehrlichman, White House counsel to President Nixon on the rationale of the War on Drugs.

Gruberization of politics. Long before Gruber.

And people wonder why the Republicans have a reputation for racism. And being anti-poor. And anti-youth. The party of old white men. I believe they have had their last hurrah in their current form.

Nixon was scum of the earth.
