Bennett is so "conservative and Christian."Bennett and his organization, Empower America, oppose the extension of casino gambling in the states. In a recent editorial, his Empower America cochair, Jack Kemp, inveighed against lawmakers who pollute our society with a slot machine on every corner. The group recently published an Index of Leading Cultural Indicators that reports 5.5 million American adults as problem or pathological gamblers. Bennett says he has his gambling under control.When reminded of studies that link heavy gambling to divorce, bankruptcy, domestic abuse and other family problems he has widely decried, Bennett compared the situation to alcohol. I view it as drinking, Bennett says. If you cant handle it, dont do it.
What an example to follow!
