“Imposing your rules” was a poor choice of words on my part.
What I really meant to say was ‘imposing your morality’ on the people of the county who chose to remain dry and you are trying to force to be wet.
Is that what you call ‘freedom’, to use your choice of words? Go upthread and read your posts.
You need to explain that.
See, there you go again. I'm not sure you read any of my posts, because it's pretty clear I wasn't advocating using force to make anybody do anything.
I think post #70 was quite clear on that.
I'd be happy to explain further, but until you clear up your misconceptions above, I'll just say this:
Local governments and municipalities that use their authority to impose dry county laws are not exercising freedom, they are curtailing freedom.
Yes, local governments CAN ban the sale and serving of alcohol, just like Mayor Bloomberg can ban salt shakers, and San Francisco can ban non-hybrid cars (or whatever new prohibitionist fad comes around).
But that is what leftists do. They think that because 51% or more of the people support a policy of less freedom, that means we all should live with less freedom.
Supporting a dry county policy simply because you don't like alcohol and don't want it served makes you no better than Obama really. You might as well invite Michelle down to give you more pointers on what types of food and beverage items should be legal or illegal. I thought this was still a conservative crowd, but apparently not.
