Something for Good Conservatives to Ponder: Smoking = Sodomy

The opponents of the proposed smoking ban in Iowa act like smoking is some God-given right and that we shouldn’t be treating smokers like second-class citizens.

Get real, people! This is not some civil rights issue. This is state restriction on voluntary behavior. This argument should be very familiar to those conservatives who oppose gay marriage and special rights for homosexuals. They argue that homosexuality is what you do, not who you are. Smoking is also something you do, not who you are.

So if you don’t want gays to go around arguing that they should be a protected class because of their behavior, don’t let smokers do the same thing.

Yeah this is why we need to kick Rants out of his seat and get some democrats in there! It is obvious that the GOP has left us behind and now we need to support the democratic party. The only party that really supports us
