And this is why he would lose the election.

If so then this demonstrates the nation is beyond saving. Libertine being substituted for liberty is a real clue. Seems the nation in its laudable form lasted about 200 years.

The nation can be saved, but trying to use morality lessons, when the patient is close to death on the operating table is probably not the best way to do it.

Christianity + state sponsorship = inquisitions.

Or do you forget your history?

When did self righteousness become a suitable substitute for brains and relevance? This is not the President's JOB!!!! I don't need the President teaching me morality, but apparently the Santoites are so weak in themselves they do need it.

It’s laudable that people are still interested in basic constitutional principles rather than usurpations based on their personal beliefs. It happens so rarely that it’s comforting even if it is about porn.

Exactly. You can either have a republic of mostly moral men, or you can have a dictatorship ruling men addicted to vice.

There is no other way.

No, what it says is that people don't want the government putting it's brand of moral-ism into laws. We have enough nanny state laws as it is. Besides, the SCOTUS has already ruled porn is legal. Fat chance he has to stop it. All he is going to do is piss off a bunch of freedom loving conservatives. This is a perfect example of government intrusion into the lives of the people.
