Texas Sodomy Statutes – We oppose the legalization of sodomy. We demand that Congress exercise its authority granted by the U.S. Constitution to withhold jurisdiction from the federal courts from cases involving sodomy.... Pornography – We urge our governmental bodies to enforce laws regarding all forms of pornography. We urge more stringent legislation to prohibit all pornography including virtual pornography and operation of sexually–oriented businesses.

I'm not seeing a statement regarding "in the public commons" here.

It appears that the Platform is disregarding the Right of Private Property in some of these position statements.

You can't do that. Trespass is a Sin, as much as is pornography.

If my neighbor wants to look at dirty pictures (of consenting adults) in his basement, that's a Sin -- but if he's not violating anyone else's Person or Property, then that's between him and God.
But if I vote to Trespass upon his Property in order to stop him from looking at "dirty pictures" (or playing Kamasutra Twister with his wife, whatever), then I'm committing Sin.

I cannot and will not vote in favor of the Sin of Trespass.


As previously mentioned, I do agree with the platform statements against special privileges and "family rights" for homosexuals. I would agree with Dr. Eckleburg that homosexual adoption should be discouraged, or outlawed, by appropriate social and legal measures.

I pulled up the State of Georgia’s Sexual Offense laws. Outside of California, I’m sure most States have the same type of public decency/sodomy laws. Tell me which of these are “harmless” and should be allowed in the privacy of one’s own sodomy chambers without government interference.
Bestiality?
How about incest?
Statutory rape?
How about some good ole fashioned necrophilia?
I know, how about pimping your neighbors daughter out (as long as she consents of course).

You’ve fell prey to the libertarian mindset which says: It’s MY body and MY property, I can do ANYTHING I want with it as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else (the old “Your right to swing your fist ends where my nose begins” argument).

Such simplistic thinking. Libertarians can only see directly in front of them (just to the ash at the end of their doobie), they have no idea the injustices they’re perpetrating upon society.
