I think Jimmy Carter would co-sign that with you.

I'm happy about this quote from Brownback:

"The gambling forces seem to have some friends in those departments that might have been helping write some of those regulations,"

have any of you looked at the focus on the family website? i hope these people do not have much power because they are crazy conservative.

if you look at their movie reviews they make a point to not only count every curse word, cigarette smoked, etc, but they also count when someone says "oh my god" or is disrespectful to their parents. lol.

for kicks i look up reviews for the most violent movies out, its funny, they tell people not to watch them because they are "spiritually damaging" but the reviewers get a free pass. I mean, do they need to watch Texas Chainsaw Massacre to know that it wont agree with their beliefs?

They also want to BAN any R rated movies for ADULTS. These right wing religious Republicans are extremely dangerous to freedom and liberty. If they have their way you won't be able to see an R-Rated movie in America, read a book like Harry Potter, visit a site like playboy.com and of course play internet poker.

All of washington is dangerous to freedom and liberty. If the liberal Democrats have their way I won't have freedom with my health care, my gun rights, pretty much anything without government interference. I may be allowed to sneeze without a license, but that's about it. I'd rather have the government out of my health care then read Harry Potter.

I'm liberal, libertarian. Someting. Not fascist like the Democrats and Republicans. Both washington parties are far right wing and enemies of freedom. To hear one of them called left wing is hilarious.

QFT

[questions]

The problem with the federal government is that it has become so huge and dominating, that it seeks to control spheres of human activity it previously did not control, many times for the benefit of special interests, like, for example, the banking sector or xtian fundies. When focused, Washington can be useful for purposes of securing freedom and liberty from those who would take it from us. In this particular case, Washington is seeking to curb domestic liberties, which really is anti-American as most of us understand it, but runs in tangent with how the government has been operating over the course of the last few years.

I'm sure there wasn't any sort of backroom arm twisting going on the night the UIGEA got passed. Good Christians like Jon Kyl and Bill Frist wouldn't do that.

Nor would any of our beloved B&M casino corporations.

Chad Hills, gambling analyst for Focus on the Family Action, claims that writing regulations shouldn’t be too burdensome. “We estimate that about five federal employees working on this could keep and maintain a list of Internet gambling operations,” he told Family News in Focus, the organisation's journal.
