THEY WANT THE MONEY. The day is coming when you will see state-sponsored black tar heroin dealerships... and isn't that what state-sponsored gambling, weed trade, and what state-sponsored heroin dens would be, what "state-sponsored anythings" really are?

Liberal Democrats believe our rights are "granted" or "given" to us by the State [a lie Establishment Republicans are only too happy to acquiesce] whereas in a Constitutional Republic the State has only those rights granted to it by the people. What a concept. Someone should organize a country around that idea someday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
