Would be fine by me.

I really don’t see porn as free speech and would not defend it. I won’t defend muslims, either. And “radically militant gays”? Not sure - but I don’t like them.

It is my belief that the first amendment was primarily designed to protect political speech. It was a rejection of "Lese Majeste" for which people had been prosecuted for criticizing Governors and such before we became a country.

It was never intended to apply to such things as "Porn" or the right to disgust people. If it doesn't have an obvious political component, it really doesn't come under the first amendment protection in my opinion.
