Exactly.

If you want to open the door to government censorship of the internet be my guest. Just don't be surprised when they won't stop at pornography.

[Joe 6-pack]

You mean all the people that have been saying Santorum wants to implement a Vatican-oriented, Catholic Taliban, Spanish Inquisition type theocracy were (gasp) lying?!?!!?

It’s the Executive Branch’s job to enforce those laws.

It's the Executive Branch's job to abide and support those laws. It's the Judicial Branch's job to enforce them. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

There are two problems with this.

#1 Even if it's not new legislation, it would require an expansion of the government to censor what we do on the internet. That means more government bureaucracy which means more Big Government. Big Government is one of the biggest, if not the biggest problems this country faces.

#2 The bigger problem is that anybody who is able to think coherently knows that if the government gets in the business of censoring what we do on the internet, that the government will not stop with porn. Once the American people get used to having the government dictate what we do on the internet, we'll see more legislation, ostensibly to protect the children, and before you know it, we're China.

Very disappointed with Rick. He's intelligent enough to know that a lot of us hate big government and that liberals would use this as an opening to screw up the internet.

What a dope!

Think of all the good freely available internet porn has done for the nation!

I mean, what better way to corrupt the youth and prepare them for the socialist destruction of marriage?

What better way to destroy the family than to turn husbands and fathers and brothers and uncles into leering, lusting louts?

What better way to cheapen the One-man-for-one-woman-for-life Biblical paradigm?

And imagine all the good that homosexual porn has done!!

Enforcing existing law against this sewage would hamper the deconstruction of society so necessary for a communist takeover.

Who in his right mind would want to do that?

(hoping not to need it but /s just in case)

Let me point out:

You post only stuff you have written yourself.
You excerpt it in an attempt to draw traffic from
Free Republic in order to get hits, USING us as an
advertising tool. You kind of suck, if I may point it out.

Here’s the proof:

geez louise, why not wear a small yellow bracelet that says, "It's the economy stupid." Everytime they drift from that message they lose the focus of getting Bambi out of the White House. Everytime the attack the other republican they make Bambi look better. Focus on getting rid of the true eneomy and let the folks decide if your plan for the economy is better.

Powerline has a nice bit on how conservative was Rick - social yes, spending not so much. I am no fan of MassCAre and so Romney looks bad - except maybe the mistake of it will show him what to do now.

What other “laws” will Santorum enforce. For example, it is a illegal to take more than $5 in pennies outside the US:

Or how about importing small sponges (perhaps Santorum will beef up the Customs to impound travelers sponges:

The internet is loaded with it even Craig's list has had problems.

Parents should control what they want their children to watch on tv and there are locks that can stop children via parents control online. With Dole advertising viagra on tv...sheesh that was not done in a tasteful manner. LOL or EWWWWWWW your choice.

"Santorum is not the first presidential candidate to take up the obscenity issue. In July, Michele Bachmann signed a pledge vowing her support of a constitutional amendment that, among other things, called for a ban on all pornography. (It also effectively called for a ban on same-sex marriage.)" The Atlantic wonders if Santorum's wide-scale crackdown on porn could actually work. The Daily Caller found someone who thinks it could. "If the government wanted to aggressively move against Internet pornography, it could do so," UCLA law professor Eugene Volokh told the site.
