Drew Carey Reporting On Audie Murphy VFW Raid

About 1 1/2 years ago 2 lodges and a bar were raided on Friday night. I have personal experience with raids as I was in a lodge that was raided about 2 1/2 years ago. And on the Friday night in question, we were playing in close proximity to the bar that was raided. Here in my hometown, we've had multiple nights of raids. Usually on Friday night. Usually two to three in one night. Players get tickets. Management and dealers go to jail. The players that go to court, the cases get dismissed. The management and dealers, their cases are pleaded down or dismissed. Shortly after the Friday night raid Drew Carey did this video on Reason .TV.

Poker-The All American Game

America has long been called the melting pot, in which the world's immigrants come together and become a nation, proud and strong. When you think of a melting pot, it brings forth images of precious metals heated down to their molten form and put in the molds to solidify. The roots of poker reach back to European aristocrats. Poker is a true product of the American spirit. Those who battle so diligently to keep others from this sport. I truly believe do not know its history or its effect on those who have played, and will continue to play. Just as our fathers and their fathers fought for freedom, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. So we must muster up the troops and do battle against those who would keep us from those freedoms. Poker has a rich and deep history, I feel should be imparted.
