This whole thing is/was ridiculous.  It all got cranked up down here with Country Crossings, an electronic bingo hall similar to Victory Land.  It was looking like this was going to be a big success until Guvnah Riley got his pockets filled with $$$.  As soon as CC got going good, Riley starts barking about how the machines are actually slot machines (DUH!!) and how evil gambling is.  Next thing you know, his task force sends 105 State vehicles down here in the wee hours of the morning to shut down the operation. 

Funny how the exact same thing had been operating in his own back yard for years without so much as a peep from the Guvnah.  Then it snowballed on his sorry ass and he had to bring the heat on all of them in the State.  This has been huge in this area.  This was big for the economy and employed a lot of people.  They built a concert stage and were starting to bring in all sorts of acts.  Ironic that Riley had to shut it down because gambling is so wrong (Yeah, dumb ass...I'm sure that was the reason)  but if you drive one more mile south past Country Crossings, you hit the Florida State line, where you can purchase all the lottery tickets you want.

Gambling is so bad.  It's immoral!  It's the duty of the state to save morality, and to save poor folks from pissing away their beer and cigarette rent money at the gambling halls.

You know this was a federal prosecution for bribery charges and such, right?  So you got out of Alabama because the fed's like to waste $35 million?  Unfortunately, you have to pay the I.R.S. in Louisiana too...shit, if not I'd live there.

But, if you are talking about Governor Riley and the gambling stuff...Yeah, I agree.  It was dumb.

Last time I checked the index, Lousiana was the only state ranked higher than Texas and Alabama in political corruption. The terms Alabama Politics and Texas Politics are notorious - and Lousiana was worse.

Maybe, but I'm free to drink my 32 oz 20% alcohol content gourmet beer or the liquor that I bought from the grocery store in an open container on my way to gamble.

Well, if you're legitimately concerned about Santorum policing morality, what's your opinion on the healthcare bill imposing liberal concepts of morality on everyone, especially as it applies to churches and religion?  Is it not the same thing?

Until someone wants to make it illegal for you not to have an a abortion, or marry a dude, or use birth control (can't believe that one's even still a debate), then no, it's not the same.

You seem to be confusing individual freedom with the "burden" of others having individual freedoms that you might not care for.

So forcing me, the Catholic Church or any other religious institution to fund contraceptives, abortions and some of the other hidden secrets and surprises that we may find morally reprehensible is not the same thing...  I see. 

You seem to be confusing individual freedom with the "burden" of others having individual freedoms that you might not care for. 
When I have to carry that burden or cover that cost for somebody else's supposed freedom, I'm not confusing a damn thing.

There are plenty of people who don't believe in war, but they have to pay for it. You may believe in home schooling, but you still pay for public education. It's called being a part of a society.

And religious institutions don't pay taxes.

My wife helps keep the books for our church.  And they do.  Trust me the government has ways of making you say, "Wow, it would just be easier and cheaper to pay the taxes than to try to get an exemption."

Well now, you're partially seeing the point, but society has less to do with it.  Liberal morals are just as hard-lined as Conservative morals.  Liberals just disguise them better and bury them in the collective structures and complicated legislation that they sometimes don't even read or allow to be read. 

And religious institutions don't pay taxes.
That's not entirely true.  It's far more complicated than that, especially when the government dictates what these religious institutions must provide for their employees and students.  No...  They may not always have to cut a check to FedGov, but when FedGov imposes a policy or law that forces them to provide morally reprehensible services, it might as well be a tax.  And, so much for First Amendment protections...

Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me. 

Quote
According to the Department of
Justice, (Geddie) was nailed for allegedly working with the state’s major gambling interests to
influence and/or buying votes favoring proposed gambling houses. The indictment was based
primarily on intercepts (wire taps) of cell phone and land-line conversations with those now
rumored to have facilitated the PFP scheme.
This is an Amazing Read. (see: Article #1)
Adding fuel to the fire are the ties between former Colonial Bank Chairman Bobby Lowder
(Bank of $25Billion failed earlier this year), Milton McGregor (Dog Track, Bingo, and Casino
Owner), and Pat Dye (former AU Football Coach). These were the three largest shareholders of
the now defunct Colonial BancGroup, a mortgage brokerage, commercial banking, and mortgage
warehousing firm based in Montgomery, Al. McGregor was indicted about the same time as
Geddie. Wire-taps were the backbone behind the indictments, but it has been speculated by most
the FBI overheard conversations between McGergor, Rane, Dye, and coaches talking about the
PFP schemes that are speculated at Auburn. What most are saying is that the FBI just stumbled
into the PFP planning while gathering the voter fraud and political corruption evidence.

 :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Quote
This goes way beyond Cam. They say the FBI, while monitoring the Bingo mess in
Montgomery and also investigating the misappropriation of TARP funds by Colonial Bank,
uncovered many, many things. Such things include guaranteed winning slot machines for AU
players at Milt’s (Colonial Board member, AU Booster) Casino, unmarked ATM cards issued
to AU players from Colonial Bank (Bobby Lowder-AU Board Member and Booster; Pat DyeColonial Board member, AU employee and Booster), forgiven loans to families, friends,
donors, etc.
If true, big time jail time, loss of SACS accreditation which means expulsion from the SEC,
huge financial implications for AU, removal of Dye’s name from the field and so on.
This also explains why the AU President wanted to sit Cam last Saturday, but was overridden by
Lowder, Dye, Jacobs, Rane and McGregor

This fucking idiot.
