Santorum gone too far

Santorum is against jobs! And this is the kind of job you don't even have to go to school for. He's definitely blowing it.

I shudder to think what kind of expensive huge new government agency would be needed to try and stop us from seeing boobs on the internet.

Try not to be so negative. Think of the job creation! I wouldn't mind being a highly-paid civil servant with great benefits whose job it is to examine pornography all day. "Hmmm, I don't know. I've been investigating Naughty Poolboys VIII: In Too Deep but even after viewing it nine times I can't decide if it's pornography or not. I'll need to see the next film in the series to gain context."

I like the way you think.

Republicans have been trying to crusade against porn forever. Reagan was particularly active in that he actually continued efforts after he got elected...
Recall the "blue ribbon" panel he put together, headed by anti-porn crusader Edwin Meese?

It was rather amusing...

It was. I have heard that the report is quite a good read, with stacks of stacked examples of porn.

In the 80s I lived in a county in Florida that attempted this; it lasted long enough for me to skedaddle. Not that I was much into the porn, it was the principle.

Well Greenville also had no liquor sales at the time as well, you had to buy your liquor in Vandalia
 
I read the Messe Report once. My college library had a copy. And it was actual research for a paper I was writing.
 
Seems like a Hail Mary to me. He's hoping to get a last minute boost to his campaign by pandering to bible thumpers. I think he hasn't taken into account that even social conservatives like porn, and nobody wants morality lectures from a schoolmarm in chief.

There's a quote where he makes it quite clear that leaving people alone is not what he's all about.

Here ya go...

They have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do. Government should keep our taxes down and keep our regulation low and that we shouldn't get involved in the bedroom, we shouldn't get involved in cultural issues, you know, people should do whatever they want. Well, that is not how traditional conservatives view the world, and I think most conservatives understand that individuals can't go it alone, that there is no such society that I'm aware of where we've had radical individualism and that it succeeds as a culture.

From the link in the OP...
Santorum says in a statement posted to his website, “The Obama Administration has turned a blind eye to those who wish to preserve our culture from the scourge of pornography and has refused to enforce obscenity laws.”

Don't you love how they blame absolutely everything on Obama? So tell us, Rick. What did Dubya do to enforce obscenity laws?

I haven't really paid much attention to what he's been saying because I don't believe he has a chance of winning but this is nuts. Santorum wants to ban porn. As far as I'm concerned "obscenity law" runs against the first amendment.

You can take our lives, but you can never take our porn.

Well, I for one welcome this strong anti-porn stance from Santorum!

In fact, I am surprised that more of the JREF men do not support Santorum efforts as well.

After all, once his anti-porn reforms go through, then all of those young, lovely, sex-crazed, female porn actors to will need job training. Accordingly, I have used "the Google" and "the Internets" to pick out several of these ladies who may stay at my house in order to learn some new job skills.

From the guy who promised to never mention previous presidents if elected because he was tired of Obama pointing the finger at previous administrations.

Nobody wants to be lectured on his own morality, but huge swaths of Americans want the schoolmarm- in-chief to lecture the immoral Americans (n.b. immoral is defined as anyone who has different values and principles).
 
I was reminded of P&T's episode of Bulls Hit titled "War On Porn", which highlighted an odd alliance between authoritarian killjoys on the left and right. I wonder if any of the academics interviewed in the episode will be inspired to applaud Santorum's stand on this issue? :D

You have to watch longer than 5 minutes.

It's obvious why he's against porn: he's trying to stamp out the other definition of santorum.

This was my first thought upon reading the OP as well. The fact that I am so in line with your thoughts, though, is kind of scary, to tell the truth.

I have read many of your posts. Your mind is not a safe and comfortable place to be.
