Bellicose women for porn rights!
Daily Pundit links to a story of some anti-porn crusaders and their disingenuous drive to curtail established First Amendment rights under the guise of "protecting the children."
This quote just slays me:
Some of his middle-age male friends limit their time alone in hotel rooms to avoid the temptation of graphic pay-per-view movies, Brownback said.
The hell....? Why dither around with half-measures? Why not cut off your damn hand instead?
There are so many things wrong with this line of thinking I can't even begin to delve into them in a single post. I'll hit the obvious highlights:
- So Sam Brownback's friends can't control themselves around porn. This should be my problem ... how?
- I agree that porn, and scenes suggestive of porn, should not be on broadcast TV. Unfortunately, for most of these crusaders, that's a Trojan horse designed to open up opportunities to ban sexually explicit material wherever it's found -- and to police the internet.
- I'm hardly the first to say this, but: If I can do it, why shouldn't I be able to watch other consenting adults do it? I've never heard a remotely satisfactory answer to this one.
- Finally: Anything that hardline conservative Christians and hardline leftist feminists agree on is bad fcuking news.
Hey, "It exploits women, and men are beasts" feminists!
Hey, "We've got to curtail everyone's rights... for the sake of the children" conservatives!
I'm about to tell you something that'll make all your heads spin until your brains are flat against your skulls.
I'm female... I support Bush... I consume porn... and I vote! Deal with it, and mess with my First Amendment rights at your peril.

The best defense of your first amendment rights is yoursecond amendment rights. See http://www.womenshooters.com/ I'm teaching my daughter to shoot.

I've gotta agree. If there's anything better than a bellicose woman for porn rights, it's a gun-toting bellicose woman for porn rights!
Thanks, Mitch!
