In this particular article Gene Mills from LFF says this:

quote:

But Gene Mills, executive director of the Louisiana Family Forum, said how much the state collects from sports fantasy firms and other issues deserve scrutiny.


quote:

"We are watching very closely to how the rules are promulgated and the concerns that it brings to the state of Louisiana," said Mills, whose group opposed the 2018 ballot measure.

Officials of the Louisiana Family Forum say they advocate for traditional family values.

They advocate for traditional family values.

Yet on their website it says:

quote:

Louisiana Family Forum is committed to advancing life, liberty, and limited government in the great state of Louisiana!

So if they want limited government, why the hell are they trying to fight sports gambling?

Has anyone asked this guy straight to his face what I do with my money and how I want to spend it has to do with him and why he thinks he’s speaking FOR me and what’s best for me? Who made him the authority figure here?

They advocate on how they think people SHOULD live. Which blows my mind because they also claim to want limited government.

They're everything wrong with the alignment of conservatism and evangelism.

The bastardization of what a conservative actually is continues.

It’s a nonissue, we’ll have sports gambling by the fall. Golden nugget has already started construction on their sports book.

Casinos have way more money than Louisiana Family Forum.

People like this are what's wrong with the world. Everyone else would be better off if they took a hop off a cliff.

LFF is terrible. And I am a conservative who is also christian. Anything connected with someone like Woody Jenkins or Dan Richey.

Plenty of people who espouse limited government just want to limit governments control on what they hold dear. They have no problem limiting other people's rights.
