The Internet didn’t exist in the 1960s, so you’re arguing apples vs. oranges here.

Not at all. The principle behind the argument is exactly the same. What's different is that the internet crosses state and national boundaries ensures that this is indeed a federal issue that must be dealt with on that level.

If you could guarantee 100% that the liberals wouldn't try and extend government censorship past porn once a generation or two of Americans has gotten used to an internet that is censored by the government, I think most of us would support you and others like you.

But you can't guarantee that, because you know there are liberals who think that us saying bad things about illegals or Islam or posting cartoons of Mohammed or "Allah" are just as obscene as any pornography.
