There has been a lot of discussion about the relevancy of this post. I think it's very relevant. You guys want to critisize the "moral right"...but who do you think got George Bush re-elected? And didn't George Bush agree to a Pornography Protected Day?
The point is pornography is very, very addictive. And most of the porno out there isn't your cute, bunnyrabbit Playboy stuff. Some of it is cruel, disturbing and outright dangerous.
Dems. were on a big censorship kick prior to the election, just as they were on a pro-draft bandwagon.
Republicans believe in free speech. Let the dems. continue to be the anti-free speech party.
He says he want a "strict constuctionist" interpretation of the Constitution, too. Do you think any of these people are talking about getting a constitutional amendment to ban pornography?
" I always foresaw that difficulties might be started in relation to that power which could not be fully explained without recurring to views of it, which, however just, might give birth to specious though unsound objections. Being in the same terms with the power over foreign commerce, the same extent, if taken literally, would belong to it. Yet it is very certain that it grew out of the abuse of the power by the importing States in taxing the non-importing, and was intended as a negative and preventive provision against injustice among the States themselves, rather than as a power to be used for the positive purposes of the General Government, in which alone, however, the remedial power could be lodged.

Not but women are.
When they advocate Federal legislation for vice, yes. Where does the Constitution grant Congress such power?
but who do you think got George Bush re-elected?
In no particular order: Supporters of the WOT and Iraqi Freedom, Cubans in Florida, gun owners, small government Republicans, military voters, the moral right, independent truckers, etc.
And you know this... how? Enquiring minds want to know.
