Jesus went into a temple one time and overturned the blackjack tables. So says the book of John.

But really, Republicans love to preach “freedom!” While inhibiting the rights of people to choose whether to gamble, smoke marijuana, drink before certain hours on Sundays, etc.

A St Tammany casino won't draw tourists. It'll draw the sad local trash who'll spend money they can't afford. You'll see more payday loan places, more used car lots, more pawn shops. If you want that, vote for it. A lot of people don't. There are already plenty of places to gamble if you want to.


But a true Republican would say let people make their own choices.

They’re told to hate it by politicians and pastors who haven’t been paid off yet. Just using the Edwards strategy.

Can someone fill me in? I keep seeing the casi-no! signs everywhere. Is it a religious thing? If Republicans think gambling is immoral then they can just…. not gamble. Seems pretty simple to me.


Harrah’s, Boomtown, and the Miss Gulf Coast casinos are financially funding the Casi-NO movement.

It’s the right of every citizen according to the La. Constitution to vote in gambling in their parishes.

There are moral, religious, and economic reasons to oppose gambling.

There are economic and more government revenues for proponents.

Let the majority decide.
