    Santorum says in a statement posted to his website, “The Obama Administration has turned a blind eye to those who wish to preserve our culture from the scourge of pornography and has refused to enforce obscenity laws.”

    If elected, he promises to “vigorously” enforce laws that “prohibit distribution of hardcore (obscene) pornography on the Internet, on cable/satellite TV, on hotel/motel TV, in retail shops and through the mail or by common carrier.”

    Sadly, there are a lot of sanctimonious fucknuts out there who think it is a perfectly justified use of government resources to try and prevent other people from doing things they don't like, even in the privacy of their own homes.

    Be wary of anyone who invokes "our culture" as a singular concept deserving the coercive protection of government.

    I think you're giving your fellow countrymen too much credit. This country is full of repressive theofascist assbags who feel compelled to inflict it on everyone else.

    I disagree.

    He is so far out of touch with the American people that he lost it quite a while ago already. It's not for nothing that Romney is way out in front of him.

    I just lost my erection too. :ehrie:

    Fuck this clown. I bet he has a secret stash of midget bondage amutee bestiality granny porn hidden in his sock drawer. If he were to win and such pornography laws were in place, his house would be the first place I checked. No fucking way I would elect this cocksucker who would limit freedom. Isn't that what he says Democrats do? Again, so I'm not misunderstood.....fuck him.

    All Romney has to do is run campaign adds with that statement. He can then sit at home and watch the victories roll in. :jayzus:

    Doesn't he realize the internet was invented for porn, without porn the internet is basically useless.

    I can see him winning certain states however, based on his porn agenda. Particularly in the southeast, I'm sure Oldfella can agree on that, like Georgia. It's chock full of people who want to enforce their beliefs and morals on others.

    Did he forget that this kind of "war" has been fought before and lost thanks to the judiciary branch of the government, or is he planning on banning that branch of the government too?

    As much as I believe Barack Obama is the worst president this country has endured in the past 100 years, I will not vote at all if Santorum wins the GOP nomination. Hopefully there will still be time to undo the damage come 2016.

    I do not understand why the GOP brass hasn't grabbed this frothy assclown and beat the shit out of him. Instead, they seem to be embracing this crap. He was the first one to bleat about how horrible birth control is, and suddenly, the Republican members of Congress have to have all kinds of hearings about how awful it is, and various states have to get in on the action as well.

    There is nothing defensible about many of the things Santorum says. Nothing. And if, like the Republicans claim to be, you're in favor of smaller government, then Santorum should be the motherfucking poster child of everything that is wrong about "big government." Instead, he's practically the fucking darling of the GOP brass.

    Because it's a lie.

    Always has been.

    Both sides, voter and politician alike, are about power/money spent/applied where THEY want it.

    Sidenote: Augusta spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in a long legal war to shut down a porn store. In the end, they lost, and the XMart (a slick takeoff of KMart) flies a big ass American flag on their successful porn store. Crime in the vicinity of the XMart has gone up zero (count em' zero) percent since it opened.

    Sunday alcohol sales are on the upswing, too. Gay Pride parades draw only a handful of protesters. KKK speeches draw no fans, but lots of protesters and jeering and laughing.

    There was a huge uproar here over Sunday sales. People (nut bags and bible thumpers) were crying out that everyone was going to get drunk and get behind the wheel killing scores of people. And that people were going to flock to liquor stores to buy alcohol.

    The bible thumpers of course jumped on it saying that it was going to lead to debauchery, that family values were going out the window and that it would lead to adultery (???).

    And it took almost 8 years for an adult toy store to open up. Of course that had the same arguments against it. But some of the same people (women) had intimate adult sales parties, but called them something like "Marriage Enhancement Parties".

    True, but for a GOP candidate to win an election, he has to carry at least two of the following three states based on the current electoral count. Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida. If he or she cannot take at least two of those, it's game over, and I don't see Santorum carrying any of them. It's not because the GOP in those states are fond of Obama, but because a sufficient amount are grounded enough to pull "my father's reaction" who said (and I quote), "fuck it, if that little prick [Santorum] or the Republican Kerry [Romney] who I can't gauge where he truly stands... If either wins the nomination, I'm not even voting. This is a fucking JOKE. This is at least five times as bad as the last election!!!" Me: "Well dad, you can always write someone in and say you voted." Dad: "WTH for? Why should I waste my time going out to vote for some other person. I'm just gonna come home, drink a beer, go to bed and read all about what happened in the next morning's paper."

    ^^^These are the Republicans they have to convince to show up before they even worry about the Independents, and as of right now, they're fucked. And I registered Conservative rather than Independent so not to align myself with the Republican garbage or Democrat garbage and the only person in this entire race I would vote for is a Ron Paul write in.

    What's next? The witch burning thing? I remember when, under the Bush administration, there was a movement to ban porn in libraries. The LIBRARIANS pitched a fit to keep it because of FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS. Don't want the children watching porn? Moniter what they view. Adults can allowed to fend for thenselves, THEY VOTE!

    There was an interesting article during the Bush administration about how Ashcroft's zeal for prosecuting consenting adults who offended his morals also ended up resulting in a reduction of the resources devoted to fighting child pornography.

    Wonderful priorities.

    I guess none of the current politicians have learned anything from Prohibition.
    Before the guys passed the amendment to keep us all sober (snicker) there was some mob crime, but nothing as organized as it got after Prohibition. Once they reversed themselves, instead of keeping an eye on the drugs, and keeping them regulated and taxed, they declare war on drugs and here we go again with the crime lords and cartels and god knows what else.
    I can just imagine what will happen if some idiot in Congress declares war on porn.
    I agree that porn should not be readily available to kids - especially without adult supervision - but each person has to answer for their own vices.
