Chessler is one of the ONLY women to come out of the Femminist Movement of the 60’s or 70’s who is now vey conservative and also criticizes left wing liberal “feminnists”...
Conservatives—men and women—should be supportive of her.

So hold off on your making the case for the Libs, that conservatives are just anti-women, pro pronography and just make fun of women who are not “attractive”.

And wonder where the Christian Freepers are on threads like this? Pornography , I guess is just oky doky with Christian conservative men and their wives.NOT.

It's kind of depressing, isn't it? I, too, am sick of the sexualized images that are EVERYWHERE. I mean, geez, the billboards here in Los Angeles are like Playboy. Even selling women's shoes and purses, they use naked girls who look like they're 14. I dress to cover myself more and more out of pure reaction.

Yes, but she’s not pretty, so that’s all that counts on a site like FR.

I really don't care if it is “oky doky” with you or other Christians or not. It's none of your business. Just like it's none of your business how many guns I have or what I read or what groups I associate with.

And before the attack begins, no, I don't watch or look at porn. But I do own many guns and will associate with who I choose.

“And wonder where the Christian Freepers are on threads like this? Pornography , I guess is just oky doky with Christian conservative men and their wives.NOT.”

Here I am. I post against prostitution and porn regularly. I just get a little tired of saying the same things over and over again.

I am a Conservative, not a Libertarian. There is a big difference.

There is a constraint on every civil liberty. Our rights are not unlimited. You can’t say anything you want anywhere, anytime; you can’t worship any way you want; you can’t let off nuclear bombs in the backyard due to your right to bear arms; etc. I oppose pornography and want it illegal, enforced by juries using the community standards approach.

It is not victimless. That is an absolute lie. It destroys people.

Porn is not “freedom.” It is slavery, and it gets you right where your enemy wants you. The pornier America is, the weaker it is.

And it would not require a bloody civil war to get contain it. That is hogwash.

You are right to wonder where Conservative Christians on this.....it is not always so straightforward as it looks..

For my part, I have no problem in morally condemning pornography, though there are degrees of degradation.

But as a Christian I also believe that people have the right to sin and freedom is defended only at a cost.

Sharia law is the enforcement of moral behaviour - our law is about preserving freedom and limiting the excesses of damaging behaviour. It sounds good but look where it leads.

Nor is it wise to ban that which cannot be enforced in a pluralist society.

Me? I like some porn, that is why I steer clear of it. I have to pluck my eye out as it offends me. Gets bloody but that's the cost of following Jesus.
