Listen to yourself. You are advocating a degree of government control which is horrifying to contemplate. As has been pointed out, these things you would have banned via the force of government could also be perverted to ban the things that you hold dear.

I am listening to myself. I keep bringing up basic fundamentals of social conservatism that have served this country well for centuries. How many times have I mentioned (so far) that social liberalsim has brought us gays in the military?
And you libs are appalled at my resentment of this?
All right - you tell me how allowing queers to openly serve is a good thing. Tell me how my opposition to this is one step away from a fascist dictatorship. Explain how if somehow America came to its senses and blocked fags from serving then the next natural reaction of such a government would be to - say - ban Bibles and outlaw Christianity.
Cripes - you liberals are dense. All I have been arguing for is a return to the standards that made this nation a prosperous country intead of being in subject to the economic and social liberal values that are now tearing us apart.
You have confused conservatism with authoritarianism. Conservatives (that is, social conservatives) want a country of Godly people living freely under the minimum necessary law of a small government. If the people are not Godly then the choices are: to win them over at the pulpit, or drive them over with the jackboot. It’s not the job of government to make people Godly. The place to fight the likes of Lady Gaga is in the congregation not the Congress. Conservatism depends on a level of Godliness without which, it fails. When Godliness is imposed by force it is no longer a free, conservative society. It is an authoritarian regime.
May those chains bear lightly upon you. As for me and mine, we don't need government thugs to tell us what to watch, listen to, or do.
And just as an aside... It's just a classic hallmark of lameness to jump right to the "liberal" accusation on FR. Don't be lame. It just means you're out of ideas.
