JACKSONVILLE —
Which is more ludicrous?
A business owner who claims that alcohol is against his religion and morals but he must sell it anyway “in order to remain competitive” or the business owners that claim their religion prohibits them from selling alcohol but they continue to sell tobacco, condoms, rolling papers and incense for dopers, and Lotto tickets?
I guess religion can be rationalized for profit.
Another case in point is the practice of many of our citizens to hire illegal aliens and justify it by claiming it is more cost effective.
These are the same citizens that overlook the fact that this is theft and they are rationalizing that commandment for personal gain.
It is theft ... theft of jobs for citizens, theft of money sent out of our community, theft of educational resources of our children, theft of our citizens health services and money.
It is theft from your neighbors, your community and yourself.
It is theft even when you hire them off pine street just to dig your garden.
It is really hypocritical to complain about the illegal aliens and then give them the jobs that keep them here!
