Sharron Angle & Prohibition — found it!
Slash Politics, 6/27/10 -
Sharron Angle recently dismissed her 2005 call for a return to prohibition, in part, by claiming that her accusers (i.e. me) could not find the original article in which she expressed her anti-alcohol views. (I did turn up another article that reprinted her quotes in full, but that, apparently, is just not good enough for Angle.)
It should be noted that Angle did not deny her original remarks, although it sure seemed like it.
Well, good news! Although Liberty Watch, the now-defunct conservative rag that published the original interview (in July 2005, not 2006 as I’d earlier thought) no longer has its archives online, I was able to locate the original piece using archive.org’s wonderful Way Back Machine. And you can, too, if you click on this link.
Or, if you’d like, you can read the entire, unedited article, which I reprint here as a public service.
As I wrote before, Angle says she feels the same way about alcohol as she does about marijuana, i.e. that both should be illegal. And even more intriguing, she adds that legislating morality is something with which she’s apparently very comfortable.
So now that I’ve found the original article, I’d be curious to know if Angle still believes we should treat alcohol the same as we treat marijuana, i.e. making it illegal, and if she intends to pursue that, given her conviction about legislating morality. Your spokesman has my number, Mrs. Angle.
