https://tunnel2towers.org/The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost,
Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration,
politics without God, heaven without hell.
William Booth“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.”
― William SaroyanThe inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. -- Winston Churchill
Ignorance is not an opinion, liberals
I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C. S. Lewis
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

geeez2014Copyright & Fair Use Statement I hereby assert that the purpose of this blog is educational/informative in matters of politics and faith. There is no commercial purpose to this blog. There is no revenue generated from any material posted here. I am not in competition with any news source, including any other on-line journal, and I have no interest in interfering with any person’s ability to earn an income as an author, journalist, photographer, or artist. This website contains some quotations and excerpts from copyrighted material. These uses fall well within the copyright doctrine of “Fair Use.” Section 107 of the United States Code, Title 17, specifies the conditions under which, “the fair use of a copyrighted work . . . for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching . . ., scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.” It provides four considerations for determining fair use: (1) The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes, (2) The nature of the copyrighted work, (3) The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole, and (4) The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work. The use on this website of other material involves “criticism, comment, news reporting, scholarship or research” (a) The “purpose and character” of the website is not “commercial.” (b) The overwhelming majority of the material is the author’s own research and work. It is in no way a mere collection of others’ copyrighted works, nor is any material competitive with those sources. (2) The “nature of the copyrighted work” quoted is often “news” or “faith,” categories given lesser protection in fair use cases than works of fiction. (3) Most uses involve excerpts rather than entire works. Because the adverse financial impact on copyright owners is central to the purpose of copyright law, and the analysis of alleged violations, it’s relevant to note that, under factor (4), (a) no one in search of the quoted material would substitute this blog or book for the original source, (b) it is highly unlikely this website (or any material created from it) will ever have more than a de minimis impact on any of the copyright works’ potential market, and (c) to the extent it might do so, it would be far more likely be a positive, rather than a negative, impact (by drawing attention to the work, crediting it, and providing a source where it may be found). Finally, to the extent any copyright owner may wish, consideration will be given to all reasonable requests that copyright material be removed from this website. I will always endeavor to provide proper attribution to the source of another person’s work if I know it. If I do not know the source of incorporated work, I will state “source unknown.” I will happily credit any previously unknown source if their identity is made known to me in “blog comments.” -GeeeZ

I think people should be free. Free people make their own decisions in life. Free people do not need the government looking out for them. There could be no better example than tobacco to have this discussion. So, the cigarette manufacturing folks admit that “nicotine” is the least of a smoker’s problems. Got it. But how is government a proper advocate for giving up that filthy habit when the government is making $20 billion annually on imposed taxes? How would government replace the lost revenue if tobacco products were banned? Note: in order for that to work, the government would have to shut down tobacco companies. On what basis could they do that? Public safety? Hmmm. Then we shouldn’t have cars, trucks, boats, or airplanes, either. Or city buses and large trucks that belch out diesel fumes. Or guns, knives, tire irons, hammers, 2x4s, or anything that could be used to strangle anyone. Also, cell phones cause brain cancer. Gluten makes people fat. Ladders fall. And you know what else? There are meteors in space hurling toward earth.

There are established correlations between government policies and increased health issues. Poor economies, high(er) unemployment, and tyrannical restrictions on human liberty, all result in higher incidents of heart attack, stroke, acute depression, excessive alcohol and drug use, suicide, abusive behavior of loved ones, and co-workers — and resulting consequences. We should indict the government … for wrongful death and/or the general unhappiness of its citizens. Tobacco isn’t healthy, but it is the least of our problems.

BOCOPRO: After the thought that we SHOULD BE FREE TO MAKE DECISIONS is your absolutely true STATEMENT that, of ALL the AWFUL things happening in America today, Biden attacks CIGARETTES because ..”…. there ain’t nuttin else we need to worry about . . . right?” I WISH it was all we had to worry about…right?
MUSTANG: YOu nailed it, of course……..As BOCOPRO said above, too, “Tobacco is certainly not healthy, but it is the LEAST OF OUR PROBLEMS”
Did you know they’ve acted to stop the sale of MENTHOL cigarettes? it’s NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS!!!! Yes, INDICT THE GOV”T…..!! tODAY~!
THERE ARE SOOOOOO MANY THINGS FAR FAR FAR MORE DANGEROUS THAN CIGARETTES IN THE SOCIETY BIDEN’S WHITE HOUSE IS BUSY CREATING: DEPRESSION, LEGAL AND APPROVED CHILD ABUSE IN OUR SCHOOLS, ALCOHOL AND DRUG USE WAY UP, ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR….YES. But, let’s take nicotine out of cigarettes………..OMG.
A)OW “Watch for drug- and alcohol-recovery relapses. Nicotine has been a good substitute for many of them.” That’s an excellent point, AOW……….Ever seen an AA meeting portrayed on TV where most weren’t SMOKING? Or drive by a facility where AA meetings meet…everyone’s outside smoking. Better that than alcoholism….Far as I know, fewer people on cigarettes abuse their spouses, their children, lose jobs, commit suicide, etc., BECAUSE THEY SMOKED.!!!!

Good thing you kept this post up Geeez2014. If Bidet pushes for this, it’s exactly the opposite of what God told him to do. Several Christian Prophets have been told that Biden hears what God is telling him and deliberately does the opposite. Robin D. Bullock exposed Biden on his Tuesday webcasts “The Eleventh Hour” which is every Tuesday on YouTube at 11AM Central Time, live. You can see his past episodes, divided up in seasons. Right now, he is on Season 17. I believe the episodes I’m referring to are in Season 14 (S14 is his code) or Season 15, if you decide to look it up out of curiosity.

We’re less than half way through Biden’s term and look at all the damage he’s done, not only to our country, but the entire world. The thousands of lives lost via the fouled up Afghanistan withdrawal, Russian aggression, uncontrolled inflation caused by “the new green deal”, and aggressive behavior by China and N. Viet Nam as well as Russia. But like B.P. stated, “all better now without them mean tweets.”

Z, I am a former smoker. I quit 15 years ago and never looked back and thank God for the grace and mercy he showed me and that my health is good despite my ignorance. But legislating smoking or the amount of nicotine in it is stupid. Just like legislating morality. You cannot. What is worse is this is BIG TOBACCO, BIG GOVERNMENT and it leads to more and more oversight as they are already breathing down the necks of doctors and telling them what they can and cannot do with prescriptions for patients. Too much government I am so exhausted with it. What do you thing is really going on behind this? Why now?

Everything Mustang said.
I find it curious the federal government paid billions in ag supports to tobacco farmers, a lot in higher Medicare health care costs, and wants to make the product “less” addictive (that’s what’s behind the removal of menthol). Local governments squandered a lot of the tobacco suit settlement on sidewalk repair and other pet projects local governments – but not health care. Those farm subsidies ended in 2004 with a pot sweetener to switch crops. There was a dip in production, then tobacco bounced back all on its own, sans subsidies. Except … other subsidies have found their way into tobacco farming pockets. This whole ball of corruption started with good intentions to save small family farms during the depression, btw. Beware of good intentions.
The risks are well known. Stop subsidies. Stop diddling. Pick another target worthy of the effort whose reformation could save billions and have improved health outcomes, say Big Pharma a la the constructive criticisms leveled by the former senior editor of the New England of Medicine, Dr. Marcia Angell. This housecleaning would be so disruptive as to be comparable to D-Day so I’m not holding my breath.
