For quite a few centuries, the plain ol' common walkin around sense of the American people was that pornography was bad and should be outlawed. Which it was by communities across the country. As is their democratic right.

Funny to hear a so-called "conservative" defend Warren Court liberal decisions by which the federal government declared thousands of local laws across the country null and void. This was "small government conservatism" ? It was nothing of the sort. It was the federalization of obscenity legislation trampling upon community statutes across the nation.

Shouldn't you be on DU screaming "keep your rosaries off my ovaries" alongside all the other deviants and secularists ?

The United States has only been around for two centuries - a far cry from "quite a few". Regardless, for almost half of America's history, slavery was seen to be ok. For about 2/3 of the nation's history, the plain ol' common walkin around sense was that women shouldn't be allowed to vote.
