At least understand what you are defending and whose rhetoric you are using when you claim that a duly elected government has no right to restrict obscenity.

Is this a carry-over from the other thread about Santorum and obscenity?
You are welcome to your opinion, which appears to be that you want the federal government to regulate personal morality.
I disagree -- I believe that if any government can legitimately claim that power, it is the State or Local government, not the federal.
Your attempt to smear everyone who does not subscribe to your personal code of what is and is not "obscene" with the label "Communist" is unappreciated by those of us who believe that the Constitution was written to establish a limited federal government with certain enumerated powers and very strict limits.
The Constitutional powers of the federal government are found in the Constitution, not your personal moral code. I do not find "regulate personal morality at the federal level" anywhere in the Constitution.
That power belongs at the State and Local levels. That was my underlying point in my earlier comments on the Santorum thread (2860230).
I will respectfully ask you to withdraw your unjustified smear, at least as it applies to me, now. Thank you.

The libs are masters of obfuscation, misdirection, and most importantly, the power of the introduction of division into the conversation.
Pornography is bad, for numerous reasons stated here and elsewhere, and I agree with all of them.
It is not however on the front burner, nor will it's fix help slow down or reverse the swirl in the toilet bowel we are all riding in.
To the extent that the media can throw Rick off message, they will succeed in stripping votes away, resulting in their complete success this November.
As righteous as a candidate can be, and as far to the right as possible makes for a good person to vote for, but he will need more than the votes of all conservatives to displace Obama.
This whole porn debate, as well as the contraception debate, is no more than a play to get him off message, and strip away votes from people who vote based on top of fold headlines and soundbites.
Unfortunately, that is the majority of the voting block.
Maybe you disagree, but that does not make it any less so.
It is the current playbook, refined over the last few decades, and will happen again this November as long as they can keep him off message.
