Well let’s find out how libertine you truly are. Is it too much government to have obscenity laws regarding nudity in downtown wherever you’re from? How about masturbation at the local playground? Fellatio on the A train? Group sex at a public beach?
I assume you support all of the above and oppose government intrusion. Is that correct?
All of the things you mention are not legal and they are not the topic of this forum.
What you are is a control freak who thinks you have the right to tell everyone else how to live, just like liberals do. I will bet a dollar to a doughnut you are against legalizing drugs too, because they don't fit into your strict moral code.
Strict codes are fine, until you start pushing them onto everyone else. Legalized porn hurts no one but the users of it, and I really doubt it hurts them. legalized drugs, ditto. Legalizing something doesn't mean it is required, therefore you can live by your code and leave others alone to live by theirs.
You are a blue nosed puritan, and we all know just how controlling they were, not to mention they hung witches.

There is a vast difference in regulating public behavior, i.e. sex acts taking place in a public place subject to everyone and anyone witnessing such whether they want to or not and the federal government regulating what an adult can view, read or do within the confines of his or her own home. Santorum is advocating criminalizing the later. As POTUS he may use the “bully pulpit” to say that in his own opinion it’s “morally” wrong but for him as POTUS to criminalize it goes against everything I understand about individual liberty.
I don’t want the government to dictate and criminalize every aspect of my life, either from the left or from the right.
Santorum is as much as a “Statist” as Obama is – different sides of the coin but from the prospective of individual liberty, very much the same coin, the same bum wooden nickel and not at all what our Founders envisioned for our Republic.
Surely you are intelligent enough to know that public displays are in no way comparable to what you read or view in your own home. If you cannot make that distinction, then there is little hope for you.

Why are you arguing that we need the federal government to police this? Are you saying that the city, town, county you live in are such infants that it's impossible for your own neighbors to deal with?
