Thread Name: BS: What are Young Conservatives Made Of?
Subject: RE: BS: What are Young Conservatives Made Of?
I am a liberal. I never ever gamble! Bill Bennett is a conservative. He gambles a lot, (several million dollars worth, he says.) I know gambling money goes to gangsters, and other criminal types. You would think Bill Bennett would know that too, but he doesn't. I know that money spent gambling would be better spent at the local bookstore, music store, or on food for my church's food pantry. You would think that would have occurred to Bill Bennett too.
A bookstore opened in St. Ignace Michigan, last year. The local fundamentalists discovered that it would carry "Playboy" and "Penthouse" and went on the warpath. They complained to the city council, who pointed out to them that the convenience store at the gas station had been carrying the same magazines for years, and they hadn't complained about that! The story suggests these guys aren't afraid of girlie magazines. They're afraid of books.
