He actually gets it! May have to frame this one

Of the many roles Pat Robertson has assumed over his five-decade-long career as an evangelical leader � including presidential candidate and provocative voice of the right wing � his newest guise may perhaps surprise his followers the most: marijuana legalization advocate.
Pat Robertson, center, has taken a surprising stance after his long career as an evangelical leader.
�I really believe we should treat marijuana the way we treat beverage alcohol,� Mr. Robertson said in an interview on Wednesday. �I�ve never used marijuana and I don�t intend to, but it�s just one of those things that I think: this war on drugs just hasn�t succeeded.� |

I think that it's great. The man is terrible, almost goes with out saying, but he is the exact type of person we need advocating things like this. No one is going to accuse him of being a pot head hippie liberal. I see legalization as something that's almost a given as time goes on, as soon as the old group of voters passes away. |
