Democracy Is For Anybody?

I love it when a politician or wannabe just up and hands you a joke. And the joke is him. Well there's a businessman from Virginia by the name of John Raese. He's running for the U.S. Senate. His stump speech is about him, as a businessman, being required to place "no smoking" signs all over his business. He says, and I quote, " I don't like government telling me what to do, because I'm an American", and "Remember Hitler used to put Stars of David on everybody's lapel, remember that? Same Thing". And " It might be smoking today, it might be Big Macs tomorrow, then Coca-Cola the next day, then Jack Daniels, then we're in trouble". I'm not making this up. Nobody could make this stuff up. Hanging a No Smoking sign is like Jews wearing a Star of David? And Big Macs and Coca-Cola and Jack Daniels? The other things may be acceptable, but no Jack Daniels? I think this guy is onto something.  Or maybe on something. It's not funny to equate Jews being sent to their deaths, many of them, and trying to stop people from killing themselves. The first is extremely bad, but the latter can easily be considered good. And let's face it, nobody's gonna stamp out Big Macs and a Coke. Especially if fries go with it. Oh, and remember, they tried the Jack Daniels thing. The called it Prohibition, it didn't work. But this guy is running for the Senate. If elected, he's gonna get to have a say as to what laws get passed. Can you imagine? Don 't forget the signs he has to place at his business don't say you can't smoke. Just that you can't smoke there. Star of David lapel signs said you are taking a train-ride, you won't come back. I worry about the good folks of Virginia. They're the ones who elected a state legislature and governor who ordered a free-for-all on gun buying. Remember their new un-official logo? Virginia Is For Gun Lovers. What if a lot of folks like this bird got elected? And it's entirely possible. What kind of laws might you expect? Most likely a law disassembling the government completely. Mr Raese is one potential Senator, I wouldn't mind if they unloaded.
