His opposing pornography in the movie industry period

He had a sentence after that period: "But I’m opposed to outside censorship." Sounds libertarian-friendly to me.

No, its conservative-friendly. If Reagan was lib-friendly he would be in agreement with porn. All he is doing here is simply making the conservative case that while he is against pornography - he respects that the government must not arbitrate.

How you liberals can attempt to glom on to conservative ideals and try and hijack them as your own is preposterous.

If Reagan truly took a libertarian POV on porn, he would be arguing for a removal on ALL restrictions.

Kiddie porn? Sure!

Hey retread, Reagan's opposition to OUTSIDE censorship implies that he would welcome SELF-CENSORSHIP.

And just where, exactly, did you come up with the notion that opposition to censorship is even a libertarian principle? Opposition to GOVERNMENT is a libertarian principle, opposition to censorship is a conservative principle.
