- TheEngineer2008, on 06/23/2008, -0/+4Baldwin is good on some things (and is certainly preferable to McCain or Obama), but he's really no libertarian (small "L"). Also, he won't get any mainstream media coverage. Barr, OTOH, is able to put the Libertarian message out there, and he's an effective messenger for small government.
Check out my guide, at http://theengineer.pokerplayersalliance.org/presid ... :
From the Constitution Party platform: "Gambling promotes an increase in crime, destruction of family values, and a decline in the moral fiber of our country. We are opposed to government sponsorship, involvement in, or promotion of gambling, such as lotteries, or subsidization of Native American casinos in the name of economic development. We call for the repeal of federal legislation that usurps state and local authority regarding authorization and regulation of tribal casinos in the states."
Pastor Baldwin has made a number of anti-gaming statements:
* From a Baldwin article on the Constitution Party website, at www.constitutionparty.net/news_print.php?aid=36: "Can you imagine a nation without an A.C.L.U. or a N.E.A.? Can you imagine a country that did not legally murder its own unborn children and that would not pander to sexual deviants and criminals? Can you imagine a country without legalized gambling? Can you imagine a nation with strong state governments and an unobtrusive federal government?" Keep in mind that Baldwin didn't write, "Can you imagine a country where individuals each chose of their free will to not gamble". Rather, he wrote, "Can you imagine a country without legalized gambling". It seems he's imagining (and advocating) a country where the majority collectively assert rights over individuals in the area of all gaming. Additionally, the only way for there to be no "legalized" gaming in America is for the federal government to deauthorize Indian gaming (already in the CP platform), for all 50 states to ban all gaming, and for the federal government to expand the Wire Act. It seems that's what Baldwin is hoping/daydreaming/wishing for.
* From News With Views, at www.newswithviews.com/baldwin/baldwin239.htm (by Baldwin): "George Barna summarized his findings by saying, "Faith makes very little difference in their [Christians] lives: believers do not train their children to think or act differently [from the world]. It's no wonder that they [Christian children] grow up to be just as involved in gambling, excessive drinking, and any other unbiblical behavior as everyone else."
* From News With Views, at www.newswithviews.com/baldwin/baldwin380.htm: "Can you imagine a nation without an A.C.L.U. or a N.E.A.? Can you imagine a country that did not legally murder its own unborn children and that would not pander to sexual deviants or criminals? Can you imagine a country that did not glorify, much less sponsor, gambling? Can you imagine a nation with strong state governments and a limited federal government?"
* From The Conservative Voice, at www.theconservativevoice.com/articles/article.html?id=12718: "Beyond that, our nation has become addicted, yes, even obsessed, with sports, leisure, and gambling! Sports celebrities are more than icons, they are gods! Leisure is more than a pastime, it is the greatest motivation for living. It seems that all people dream about is having the financial ability to retire. By retirement they mean living a life without responsibility, duty, or obligation. In other words, a life of total self-absorption. And since most are unwilling or even incapable of earning such a life, gambling is the preferred method of obtaining this ultimate life of irresponsibility."
* From Renew America, at www.renewamerica.us/columns/baldwin/060117: "In our once great America, virginity and chastity were popular virtues, and one could live to old age and never be exposed to the abominations of homosexuality and adultery. There was a time in this great country when, except for a few certain morally corrupt large cities, the most egregious gamblers hung out in bingo parlors, and anyone who even whispered his or her support for state-sponsored gambling would be run out of town on a rail." - brad3378, on 06/23/2008, -0/+4They need to have a debate - and the loser needs to quit so they don't split their votes.
