Bachmann pledges to ban pornography

1Perry said:
And as we have seen this pledge doesn't call for banning porn. I don't wish to make this about those who wish to control our lives in areas other than porn but much of that seems to be supported by those who would have a tizzy here.

It wasn't long ago that it was the left claiming that porn was bad for women.

I'm not claiming that the pledge DOES say that. Refer to my earlier post:

Swizz said:
He's right that it doesn't explicitly mention banning it. But it does at the very least call for more "protection" from it or controls on it (and again, that's just at a minimum)...which, as I said in my previous post, is more government intervention from a candidate built on the idea that government intervention is inherently bad.

Look, it's an interesting topic I suppose and I don't want to take it way off topic but there are many, many, many topics that I could note that would be similiar. Such as the billions we have gave to Wall Street the last two and a half years.
 
Good thing I live in Canada! Hahahaha!

Bachmann is doing what every politician does during election season --- pandering to specific voter blocks. Obama did it, GW Bush did it,

yeah, unlike Bush and Bachmann, Obama is not stooping low to pander to the religious.
 
Im always amused when I read about the porn fights of the 80s and 90s. The alliance between the scumbag bible thumping theocons and the pond scum harpy feminist left; "for the children" "degrades women" and other bull****. Attention morons if you dont want your brats to get access to porn its called discipline. It's really not that hard.

Seems pretty clear if this is the proper quote that the other quotes were a deliberate attempt to portray the issue as an outright ban. We already "protect" people from pornography by rating it, limiting where is it shown, limiting who can buy or purchase it, etc., I am sure these people would love to ban pornography but they know that just isn't possible so they want more limits.

indeed! It's only the religious that claim that our founding fathers were religious people, when really they were not religious at all.
Let's see: Lighthouses are more helpful than churches :lamo

They weren't religious at all? That's a pretty heavy handed and generalized statement. How about we settle on "they weren't as religious as conservatives make them out to be."

But it is a desire for more government interference, hence the repetition of the word "protect". I doubt very seriously that its some kind of admonition for more responsible parenting. Its just more authoritarian conservatism.

Don't forget that the major justification for the War on Drugs was protecting the children. And we have absolutely flushed tons of money and lives down the toilet in that futile endeavor.

Its clearly about protecting young women from sexual perverts and philanderers like Anthony Weiner and BJ Clinton......and anyone else on To Catch A Democrat.......and banning all Pornography and Nudity in the entire US.
