By FITSNews || The news that yet another South Carolina official is involved in some ostensibly shady drug-related activity doesn’t offend us in the slightest.
Seriously, people … it’s called freedom … and capitalism, two things this country could use a little more of, if you ask us.
In fact, we believe that taking a little coke and crystal meth from an evidence locker and selling it – like Spartanburg County Clerk of Court Marc Kitchens is alleged to have done – is smart. It’s availing yourself of a business opportunity, which again is something this economy could use a little more of, if you ask us.
Yet to dozens of headline-hungry politicians, drugs exist as a means of spending tax dollars on shameless self-promotion as they cater to a shrinking minority of social conservatives who frankly were never cool enough to be offered a toke, hit or line.
Look, we’ve made our position on the so-called “War on Drugs” crystal clear – we’re on the side of the drugs, not the politicians.

Honestly … how many hundreds of thousands of tax dollars were blown on that picture? We shudder to think.
And for what? To keep $3,000 in meth off the streets?
Please …

He’s an elected official and he was stealing from the evidence room…if that’s your idea of capitalism, you can keep it.

No. It was an act of opportunism. The real crooks are the members of the House and Senate who rip off the taxpayers 24/7.

Very good take…I look for marijuana to become legal soon.Then the rest will eventually fall.The sooner we elect libertarian minded politicians and preach common sense,the sooner we save billions of dollars and thousands of lives.God forbid we have free will in this country.

The problem is, the drugs were sold to a dealer in Orlando. So much for keeping drugs off the street.

drugs will always be on the street and every where you go. you just have to know who you hang out with.
or who to talk to so you get caught up with the wrong people.

certain drugs will get you to commit suicide like crystal meth. i had a friend who was on it and she almost killed herself be trying to over dose on medications and her brother stopped her in time.
