If you want the government telling you what you can and cannot read based on majority vote, you might be unpleasantly surprised at what becomes forbidden and what becomes mandatory.

Yeah, I'm sure you just read them for the articles...

I think we should all be fighting to retain and strengthen freedom of speech not weaken it, because, once freedom of speech is lost, the liberal voice will be the only one that is heard.

Pornography is not "speech." Obscenity is not protected by the First Amendment.

"Pornography is not "speech." Obscenity is not protected by the First Amendment."

I see. Since what is considered "obscene" is open for interpretation what do you plan to do when a future liberal legislature decides that religious teaching is "obscene" and bans it?

You realize that many liberals already consider the bible to be "obscene" don't you? They would ban it in a heartbeat if they thought they could.

Thankfully the courts don't seem in them mood to ban much of anything these days, so I think both you and the liberals are out of luck/
