STAR-TELEGRAM.COM - Opponents ready to rally if liquor petition succeeds: "'This city has 15,000 people, and we don't have one grocery store because they can't sell beer or wine,' said Ron White, a member of the Citizens for Progress committee that is running a petition campaign. 'We're shooting for the May 15 election. We've got 800 signatures, and we need 880.'


Down the road in this mostly working-class town, Faith Baptist Fellowship pastor David Dye said, 'You can find 800 drunks anywhere. I'm not saying everyone who signed the petition is a drunk. I'm sure some of them think they're doing good for the city.'


And if the petition drive succeeds? 'We'll get an ongoing opposition,' Dye said. 'We'll do ads and fliers. We'll not just use the Bible; we'll attack economically, logically. [The committee] wants to profit off people's bad habits.'"

Love this kind of theology. Not just use the Bible, but attack them logically. Wonderful. How about Proverbs 31:6? Jesus better not turn water into wine in this town.
