I can't stand idle while the nanny state crowd tries to employ logic using poorly constructed sophistry to further place us into bondage. Personal attacks are banned on FreeRepublic, you'd be wise to remember that.
And again the argument is weak, though movie goers pay for tickets to see trash, we PAY taxes and OWN the PUBLIC licenses, so we do, in a de facto way, PAY to hear the trash on television.
The bottom line is that the government does not have a right to tell us what we can and cannot put on television, they exist mesrely to administer the infrastructure. And lucky for me, the trend is going with my line of thought.

So-called "small government conservatives" who ditch their principles when it suits them.
It's the same as the people who scream "states' rights!" - except when it comes to something like medicinal marijuana or assisted suicide.
If you're looking for consistency, you'll have to look elsewhere (and that applies to all humans, not just this site).
