Republicans have their own list of ways in which they want to control us. Many are not just anti-abortion (as is Sen. Paul); they're also anti-gay marriage, anti-drugs, anti-gambling and, in a few cases, anti-free speech.

I'm no republican, but the author has left his principle of "as long as it doesn't harm anyone" that he established earlier in this article.

Abortion kills another human being without any accusations, charges, courts, juries, peers, and brings a capital sentence upon a totally innocent American.

Anti-drugs is also born in the realization that drugs harm and kill people. Should a nation have laws that say that people are permitted to kill themselves? Absolutely not. That is too easy a manner to kill others with no investigation to determine if that had actually been the case. "Oh gee...she overdosed; said she wanted to end it all."

Obviously, I disagree with restricting all speech but 'death speech'. Liberals will rage on about 'hate speech', but that's just emotions. 'Death speech', on the other hand, is a threat against the life of another person. It cannot be ignored.

Gambling? Gambling should either be totally legal or totally illegal. If it's a matter of controlled venues by the state, then that's not 'free gambling'. Let Uncle Joe have his Saturday night poker game with real money. Leave him alone.

President Obama won’t let people work in unpaid internships

Clinton was famous for not paying interns. Kathryn Willey said she wasn’t paid. I’d be surprised if there were no unpaid interns in the White House.

Even though I don’t play the lottery or gamble with money, because I am a sore loser as far as losing money is concerned I voted yes when the Tennessee lottery was put on the ballot, simply for the fact that I thought the people of TN should have the choice if they wanted to have it or not
