GOP Platform pushes "War on Porn"

Post by dbackjon »

A Monday press release from faith-based advocacy group Morality in Media celebrates the Republican Party’s platform as now targeting all forms of pornography, not just illegal child pornography. This has been a cause among the Christian conservative right for some time now.

MIM says the platform’s “new language replaces previous platform wording, which only opposed child pornography.” According to the press release, the GOP’s new wording will explicitly state that “current laws on all forms of pornography and obscenity need to be vigorously enforced.”

“Distribution of obscene or hardcore pornography on the Internet is a violation of current federal law,” explained MIM’s President Patrick A. Trueman. “Yet, most children in America have free access to obscene pornography as soon as they learn how to use a computer. The average age of first exposure to obscene Internet pornography is now eleven.”

Just for you, Z...

If anything, this continues the GOP’s reluctance to adopt Republican Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels‘ social issues “truce.” Last week’s news that the platform continues the no-exceptions position on abortion and that the party is unwilling to consider even “civil unions” in their gay marriage platform shows that the party is still unwilling to revive the party’s “big tent” status and incorporate all facets of the right — including libertarians, social moderates, and Ron Paul fans who all don’t see these social “crusades” as an integral part of limited government.

In fact, many see these socially conservative positions as the antithesis of limited government.

In fact, it's why many conservatives with a brainstem are voting for Gary Johnson for President.

Despite being a better candidate (than Romney), a vote for Johnson is a vote for Obama. :twisted:
It's a numbers game Z and you know damn well Johnson can't win. This is a defensive voting year. Put the cock block on Barack. ( :shock: I need to coin that phrase. :lol: )

I expect Johnson to do well in states in the "solidly Obama/Romney" category. He has my vote here in Delaware.

People need to understand how the Electoral college works. I get tired of random people telling me at work that I should vote for Obama because "he needs all the votes he can get". :tothehand:
