"I'm surprised anyone who calls themselves conservative would believe crap like violent movies and video games cause violence. That's soccer mom BS."

No, that's not "soccer mom BS", but the traditional conservative belief that we can and should protect our kids from that which would harm them.

I for one, do not embrace the notion that children have constitutional rights. That is, the right to expression, firearms, vote, drink, etc. They are a "Protected Class", and as such are ENTITLED to be fed, clothed, housed , and educated until they are adults, at which time they are ready to assume the full rights and responsibilities that the constitution protects.

The idea that those under 18 have "rights" to view such movies as "Basketball Diaries" I find absurd and is one reason why our schools and society can't find its moral a$$ with both hands. Children have (or should have) protection, adults have "rights". Conservatives are NOT LIBERTINES!

The question is do you want a mom or dad to censor those items or the government? You also run the risk of having marxists use this same exact argument to censor talk radio and attack conservative books and ideas. Just look at all the activity around "hate-radio" in the media when some nutjob kills an abortion doctor or a gay man.

Those who are quick to give the government power to censor the media better watchout because their forms of media will be next.
