Re: "...He is not especially puritanical,"

>>> Er, compared to what? Cotton Mather?

Re: "...the only thing I know he wants to prohibit is hard drugs,"

>>> Er, make that 'he wants to ensure a large and controlling federal presence in regulating private behaviors' except he's noticeably quiet on the disproportionately large harm that is done by the LEGAL drugs: tobacco and alcohol... which makes his prohibatory arguments hypocritical at best, and disingenuous in fact, as he blithely fails to consider scientific and medical research in the 'harm reduction' arena. And his campaign to have federal powers supercede the state's in this area buts him irretrievably on the side of bigger, more intrusive government.

Re: "and he is not at all a theocrat."

>>> No, of COURSE NOT! <LOL>
