Personnally I could care less how conservative you are.

I do care that you think pedophiles have an unalienable right to virtual kiddie porn and I also care that you place the "right" of pedophiles to satisfy their perversity above the rights of citizens to govern themselves.

I also care that you seem to embrace a living breathing document when it suits your fancy. The original intent of the first amendment did not protect obscenity.

By the way, is the right to life a federal issue or a state issue?

Good because the definitions seem to vary based on how insecure the person is.

Wow I talk about criminalizing thought as wrong and now I am NAMBLA's front man...quite a leap. Are we about to do battle...that seems to be a line in the sand.

No, I believe the 1st amendment was intended to protect political speech and gov't criticism and adams wiped his butt with it(sedition act). The 1st amendment has evolved over the years. Whether we like it or not, that is the way it is. Howl at the wind if you must but I believe slander/libel and starting a panic are the only forms of speech the gov't should be allowed to regulate. I'd be happy if the Supremes would stick to that since they seem to "find" new rights or ways to abridge rights every year.

By the way, is the right to life a federal issue or a state issue?

I believe it should be a state issue unless an amendment to the US constitution is passed.

Wow, a conservative test...I feel so...so... talked down to. Oh well.

"The nation is swimming in pornography. You can't turn on TV without seeing simulated sex scenes." -- Ann Coulter

Don't ya'll see a wee bit of irony in this article? While the primary topic is child porn and the recent Supremes ruling, Ann's statements in the article which discuss pornography, in general, seem full of irony. She dated Bob Guccione, Jr. Bob Sr. owns Penthouse. Sr initially supported Jr's foray into SPIN magazine (emphasis on the music business) with some of his Penthouse fortune.

Wonder when Ann got so concerned about porn. Glad she did, mind you. Just wonder what took so long.

(And please don't flame me, I'm an Ann Coulter fan. Yet I also think it's necessary to question inconsistancy.)
