There is a very simple method of getting around the Bush administration effort to outlaw online gambling. You simply apply for a British credit card, and use it to pay for your gambling...which the various betting parlors in Europe still operate with no efforts by the EU to halt them. This is what the dedicated guys in the US are going to do. And you simply pay your British credit card online...via your local bank. The FBI and attorney general could go and request via European courts your credit card information...but after a year or two in efforts to get just one guy's records...they will simply go back home and worry about the next right-wing worry wart that comes along to make voters hot for them.
Nope - they'll prosecute you for money laundering - a more severe offense than online gambling.
I am amused at how some are trying to drive a wedge between right-wing and conservative. I wonder where the actualities represented by the epithets would fall on a continuum that includes other political epithets.
I am a conservative and don't gamble and recognize the negatives of gambling. I am a right-winger, far to the right of the GOP and NRA.
Either we are equal or we are not. Good people should be armed where they will, with wits and guns.
