I wish I could believe Huckabee to be a good candidate for Pres., his call for a national ban on smoking is downright ridiculous, and telling. Nanny-state, anyone?

I don't smoke, can't stand it, don't think it's wise, but I can't see any justification for banning it or essentially taxing it out of existance except greed and/or tyranny. Life is awful short to be legislating folks from such an activity.

I quit smoking, finally, after 30 some years, but now the government is after my food. Controlling our short lives is what government and all the little special interest liberal groups live their short lives trying to do.

Seriously, this Marxist invasion of our once free country has to be stopped.

A wise man once said "government is the problem".

Excess will always result in a re-balancing.
