If there is something to smear here, let us smear any government official who denies to common citizens the permission he gives to only people who some board or commission approves of. We are long past the public morality of regulated gambling. I just found out that the Colonies financed themselves in part from their very beginning with lotteries.
If the State can run a lottery, so should I be able to, if I am willing to run it in an open and honest way. If people object to gambling, let them be free to convince fellow citizens of that moral issue by peaceful means, and not by getting government to act as their armed agents. This is an ongoing issue of liberty even as my own town attempts to impose a public ban on smoking.
Now Ruddy is in the crowd of lovers of big government. The only candidate who isn’t is Ron Paul. But where I part company with Paul is the same reason for other libertarians: they know very well what they are against, they just don’t know what they are for. It is also clear they do not understand the threat of Islamists.
If I hear another libertarian make the foolish and specious claim that all the jihadists want is to trade peacefully and be respected, I may be tempted to call out the fool with very strong language, for the ONLY way to deal with a jihadist is how much of a pig skin you are going to bury his body part in.

Funny, I thought Log Cabin Republicans were in the same crowd???
