Do I want the Federal Government to prevent the peddlers of immoral shows from being able to corrupt the youth of the nation ?

Yes. Under the General Welfare clause of the US Constitution and consistent with the manner in which regulation of decency standards were implemented in this country not so long ago.

Arguing that the nation will be worse off if the US doesn’t let kids get exposed to this sort of filth is lost on me.

I advocate a return to the manner in which our constitution used to be understood and a retreat from the way the closet marxists have twisted it to decide it means that morality and faith must be banished from the public square, and from all parts of this nation.

Original Intent.

“Yes. Under the General Welfare clause of the US Constitution...”

You mean this:

“The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States”

That is the one that forced Obamacare and other confiscatory taxes upon us.

Not a whole of conservatives sing the praises of the General Welfare Clause.
