Your talking points aren't anything new. Here's an excerpt that sums them up pretty well, except note here the author specifies porno images as not being speech, not all images.

This latest court decision is part of the increasingly hard-to-digest fiction that pornographic images are speech. It is also a direct affirmation of the increasingly naked proposition driving our society: that the sexual interests of adults are more important than children and their needs. Such an utter reversal of moral priorities ought to (and in most places does) provoke disgust on the part of decent adults.

True, however the 'for the children' infantilization of society is something up with which I no longer put. If not outright Hillarity itself, it's social conservatives doing to us in one sphere what socialists attempt in others. As to the matter at hand, I'll leave you an excerpt resplendent in the flowery language of the aggrieved.

On May 31, 2002, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in Philadelphia "legalized the ‘right’ of library patrons to assault children and other non-consenting folks by viewing, and then leaving on the computer screen, pathological acts of bestiality and sexual torture of adults and children-paid for with our tax dollars." That is the conclusion of Dr. Judith Reisman, a strong opponent of pornography. The judges in the case decided that pornographic pictures are "speech" and, therefore, entitled to protection under the law.

Reisman ... she's wonderful.

If anyone can attest to the FACT the Federal Government understands only too well the connection between sexual liberation and political control, it's she.

Fourth time's a charm in this case ... several key distinctions among the sexual revolutions of Sadean France, Weimar Germany, Kollantai's Russia, and Kinsey's "Sex Sells" America.

Chief among them being the implementing of measures to control births, provide for abortion and infanticide and even artificial conception. (No less than the GOP finding in 1970 that parents had a right to pre-determine the sex of their children.) They had their ducks in a row this time, baby. Heterosexuality's been aping homosexuality LOOOOONNNNG before this marriage thing came up.

For anyone's who's studied any of this like I have, it's almost breathtaking century of real progress, the Sadean having taken almost 100 years to flower, as it were ...

... watching Cardinal Spellman give his blessing to his buddy Roosevelt (where the sterilizing and pharmaceutical birth control of blacks and browns is concerned, anyway),
... seeing 60's liberals (who, through the Civil Rights period, understood as well as the Last Poets that birth control and abortion were genocidal) but once the GOP kicked open the door to abortion with a dollar bill in 1970, became the party for whom sterility and abortion were the litmus test of empowerment in the age of Sexual Revolution.
... having the Supreme Court of our "for the children" Justice Department actually rule that "faked" cyber kiddie porn was due the same special protections all porn or elements of the sexual revolution get from the Feds.

I think it's positively brilliant what they've done.

Unfortunately, it's hard to tell the story or make my points in pictures ... the way pornographers speak of love between Persons or those who believe a picture of a 9/11 jumper is sufficient rebuttal to the least criticism of the War on Terror ... so very few ever are going to "get" what I'm saying.

No one like you, anyway, gcruse. I know you and I'm fond of you but you've made all the necessary leaps of faith ... like a little beastie jumping hoops and ever circling his ring at the circus-circus.

It's always possible but very doubtful folks ever learn once again to stand erect on their feet with their heads in the clouds once they've discovered and begin to play with their tails.
