So - let me get this straight. The mantra of the Republicans has been about preserving our "liberty & freedom" and ensuring "liberty & freedom" to other countries. So, sneakily attached to a bill about port security - a necessarily bill - one which supposedly is a tool in our quest to preserve "liberty & freedom", is a bill that now outlaws people playing online poker in the privacy of their own homes. What this has to do with port security - I have no idea. What I do know is that in a bill that supposedly helps with liberty & freedom is a law which STRIPS liberty & freedom. I am not a child, I'm an adult who is very capable of making adult choices. But now, because of our wonderful Republican Congress, I am no longer permitted to make such a choice. Hypocritical? I think so. Do YOU think so? Is Congress so controlled by the far-right Christian Conservatives that even freedom & liberty of its own citizens can be put on the back burner?
