> 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.

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.

Do you agree that the federal government has the power to regulate interstate commerce and the airwaves? If so, then the federal government has the legitimate power to regulate internet pornography.
