Tag: smoking_banBy pauldpeterson, Section News
OK, so what'd I miss? As a conservative candidate for the Republican nomination for State Rep of the 79th District in 2010, I'm left scratching my head that people in my own party, the Party of Lincoln and Reagan, the Grand Ol' Party, are trumpeting about the smoking ban in Michigan along with Democrats who have ruined our state, giving a failed governor a Leftist victory in removing more freedoms from the citizenry as she, evidently, follows "scorched Michigan" policies leading up to her finally leaving office. When she came, Michigan was a great place with a great economy, competitive in the nation. When she leaves, we have record high unemployment, a continued Exodus of residents and businesses leaving for better, Right to Work states, and new special rights to raise and smoke marijuana (an illegal, controlled substance), yet the removal of the freedom to decide the policies within your own business regarding the smoking of legal tobacco products or enjoying the same in public. And people wonder why I want to lead MY party back from the Wilderness to the Promised Land, which is to the Right where the Rule of Law reigns. Have Republicans forgotten those are laws that promote freedom, liberty, and unlimited rights reserved to the States and the People? (See 10th Amendment to the Constitution.) I must dissent on this ban: This is NOT a true conservative position.
