The Nanny State

Post by MSimon »

“Prohibition is a nanny state, liberal idea that the government should protect you from your own stupidity,” said Howard Wooldridge, a former police detective and a member of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition. “For conservatives, this should be their bread and butter. If these people would apply their conservative principles to the issue, they would all be on my side.”

Trouble is that there are far too many liberal nanny state "conservatives" still about. Nixon socialists. And it is a generational thing. The young think differently. More on young vs old here:
