How about him doing something about mandatory seat belts laws? The Feds are now forcing the States to make them into primary offenses nationwide. It's only Republicans who are opposing these encroachments on States' rights.

I don't gamble, but I do drive a car. I would submit forcing one to wear a seat belt in one's car is 1,000 times more important a civil liberties issue to most Americans than internet gambling.

Normally, democrats and socialists support “social” freedom but do not support economic freedom.

Normally, republicans and fascists do not support “social” freedom, and support a tiny bit of economic freedom.

Neither of them are libertarians. Libertarians believe that people should be permitted to make their own decisions in both *their* personal lives and *their* economic lives.

The reality is that conservatives and Republicans are authoritarians at heart and that is simply how they roll. They give lip service to freedom and the Constitution but the proof is in the pudding-they legislate like this is the Reichstag and demand a firm hand at the tiller, a daddy figure who will make everything better. Sometimes they remind me of Stewey on Family Guy when he sidebars into non sequiturs about dominatrixes and fetish fantasies. That explains a lot about Cheney's torture fetish and his daughter's bizarre role in defending his unregulated playtime with swarthy foreigners.
