In the small community where I live, the big fancy Marriott downtown is the only hotel in the city that sells X-rated movies:

Hmm, I thought he was complimenting Fred. Shows you my perspecitve on this.
Well, once again, while I don’t agree with you, I sort of figured that all of the hotels sold porn, so that what you were demanding was truly absurd. Now, I don’t really agree, but I would state that it is not totally absurd to put pressure on them to act like other major hotel chains.
Lion says: “I have a mutual fund that owns Marriott stock....I am therefore guilty by this association also.”
If you say so, Lion, but you didn’t sit for a decade on the board of directors that sets corporate policy as to what is and is not allowed to be sold in Marriott hotels.
Plus, you’re not asking us to elect you president and appoint the Attorney General and enforce federal obscenity laws.
Below are the titles of X-rated porn flicks offered by the Marriott chain-wide video system the month two Cincinnati area Marriotts were forced to remove them under threat of obscenity charges by local prosecutors:
* Risque Biz & Bad Habits
* Women in Uniform Special
* Three Women & A Resort
* Young As They Come
* Spring Break Pantyhoes
* Newlywed Infidelities
* Naughty Neighbors
* Maximum Ram
* Kinky Kouples Sex Games
* Bad Wives 2 & Club Sin
* Nasty Office Nymphs
* Naughty Collegiate Schoolgirls

This is about the dumbest thing I have ever read. What imbecile at CBN came up with this nonsense?
Yeah, so sick of tight-ass moralists who need to get laid and chill out. The stuff in hotel rooms are far more hilarious than arousing.
Unfortunately, it is quite pervasive in our society.
Has this moron author ever stayed at a Holiday Inn, Doubletree, Embassy Suites, Ramada, or any other hotel which also offers softcore “porn”? If so then he contributed to the profits of those who would destroy American society and he must hereby pay Pat Robertson a tithe of 10 times the cost of his stay.
David Brody at CBN came up with it, Montag.
And he quoted former California Lt. Gov. John Harmer of the Lighted Candle Society, Phil Burress of Citizens for Community Values, and Gary Glenn of the American Family Association of Michigan attesting to the fact that it’s considered a serious issue among social conservatives — which I can tell you, having met regularly with national and state activists on the issue, it certainly is.
"Initial Reaction: It has some nice thoughts, but in the end doesn’t make it too far by trying to keep it inoffensive and by focusing more on being artistic than sexual....[A]rtistic and not explicit enough, left this reviewer shrugging..."
Doesn't sound too "hardcore" to me.
The author, regardless of what hotels he’s frequented, has not been in a position of corporate decision-making for a white-collar porn distributor, is not running for president, and is not seeking the responsibility of appointing the Att. General and enforcing federal obscenity laws.
Mitt Romney has and is.
Oh, me. The socons are their own worst enemy.
Look at it this way, guys, even Jesus Christ blew one out of twelve.
“Doesn’t sound too ‘hardcore’ to me.”
Happy to leave the porn reviews to you, Montag.
The Cincinnati area prosecutors came to a different conclusion, threatening obscenity charges.

I'm going to enjoy watching your pompous, slick-ass candidate circle the toilet drain from here on out.
“We supposedly live in a nation with a majority claiming belief in Christ. ‘
That’s what they tell pollsters. It’s still icky to claim anything else in the US, so people don’t.
Yea, but it matters to consevative Christians like myself.
Shhh! Hyper-moralists are immune to the laws of supply and demand.
