MIchelle Bachmann wants to ban porn

[lovecraft68]

And force monogamy upon you.

Saw this thread in the GB started by Liar and am passing on the link.

To me she just shot herself in the foot. Too many people watch porn (whether they admit it is different of course) and more women that ever are watching it.

Also good luck 'forcing' people to honor their marriage. So apparently the first target on Lit will be the loving wives category.

 

[Liar]

Fun for everybody.

 

[Stella_Omega]

Duh of course she does.

Throw a little pocket change into an activist group like http://change.org or http://couragecampaign . You can pinpoint exactly where you want your money to go. Makes tiny money much more effective.

It's an absurd thing. Not to mention, when there's a line that pretty much says kids were better off under slavery, you have to think there's a bit of twisted thinking behind it all. Not that I ever intended to vote for her, but a little confirmation on the decision never hurts.

Page is gone! Maybe she changed her mind?

See, now you've got me considering voting for her...

The entire thing is too broad of a spectrum anyway. She mentions sexual trafficking along with prostitution amongst her other 'sins'

Sexual trafficking is a crime anywhere in the world. Prostitution is illegal in many places. Porn is covered under our freedoms as is 'promiscuity'

 

[lovecraft68]

Her acknowledgment of sexual trafficking as a crime rather than the joke the non con idiots think it is would get her mine. But unfortunately a vote for her would ruin every ones fun so just gotta say no! To her and her crap.

Perhaps literotica banned her!!!

"It's the economy, stupid!"

Every potential republican candidate should have it tattooed on the inside of their eyelid as reminder of what they should be focusing on.

The left drags up living standards while the right balances the books. That's how it's supposed to work.

But the economy is just so.... well relevant! and they know they can't fix it so they go after whatever else strikes their fancy.

bachman has signed on a 'declaration of dependence' cooked up by Vander Platz, a conservative 'pro family' guy (unlike Obama who hates families, esp. children).

it includes a number items regarding adultery, monogamy, porn, etc.

So much for separation of church and state.

Apparently, the original also included some remark about black children being better off in the days of slavery because at least they were raised by a mom & dad, unlike these days of single welfare moms

I believe they have since backpedaled on that, apologized and taken it out; that part was apparently there, however, when she read it and signed it. Bachmann makes Palin look like an American history scholar.

The left drags up the living standard? How fun a thought that would be if it were actually true.

Unemployment is at it's highest since the 90's. (Yeah, I know, Bush's fault.)

Prices are higher than they have been in a long time. (Yeah, I know, Bush's fault.)

The man in the white house, the guy in charge now, panders to the wealth envy crowd, the unions and everyone who thinks he's gods gift to the world, yet has done nothing (stimulus phooey) to help either the economy or unemployment.

What he has done is triple the size of government and put the country so far in debt your children's, children's, children will still be paying it off.

Yep that's a standard of living we can all enjoy.

 

[bwallard]

Well what can the GOP do? They already have a Republican in the White House, but they have to stay in the game so they trot out the clowns.

...Blah, blah, blah...we had nothing to do with eight years of war and trillions of dollars...blah, blah, blah, the rich who pay no taxes are good, and those minimum wage teachers are the evil ones because they're all envious of the rich...blah, blah, blah....

Please, stop trying to thread-jack this onto your own silly path, Zeb--you know you can make up your own rant any time you like and post it. Do that please. For this thread, please, stay on target. We're talking Bachmann and porn. Does your hatred of the man in the White House have anything to do with her?

Or does that hatred mean you plan on voting for her simply because even a woman who would put this site out of business is preferable? I seem to recall, long ago, you crowing and boasting of how you might not agree with what others say, but you'd fight for their right to say it. So, how does your love of free speech and the constitution fit with Bachmann's pledge to get rid of porn? Is censorship fine so long as the person pledging to do it panders to uber-pay-no-taxes-and-export-jobs-abroad-super-rich rather than hard-working, tax-paying Americans with "wealth envy"

First, it strikes me one has first to make a legal definition of "Porn".
Not an easy task, I suspect.
One person's porn is another's titillation ?

I didn't, manyeyedhydra did, I just took exception with a statement he made. Seems to me you're the one thread-jacking this thread with bullshit.

Perhaps we combine these two statements and create a specialized porn tax followed by an infidelity tax and permit...

That would garner some revenue...

I have always wondered why they do not legalize prostitution just so they can tax it. Run it out of approved brothels who report each 'transaction'

No we would never legalize such a thing! That would be immoral.

So instead we will legalize pot, which I don't give a shit what any Cheech and Chong disciple claims isa mind altering(and destroying) drug let's make that okay.

MJ okay but BJ's are not. Yup.

Yeah, but if you go down that route -- alcohol is mind altering and a drug and no one's going to ban that. The states make too much money. I've always found it amusing here in PA that for all the state efforts against drunk driving, one has to go to a state store to buy wine and liquor, and only special "beverage" stores can sell beer.

Why not legalize marijuana, have it regulated, and tax it?

Valid point. I will go one further with a personal peeve of mine.

Cigarettes. Let's get this straight, the government spends millions on anti-smoking campaigns. You cannot smoke indoors where I work people have to go outside to smoke, smokers are treated like lepers.

They are even trying to put disgusting images on the packs. Rotted teeth, black lungs etc...

yet they will not make it illegal because as they warn everyone against it they are making at least $5 a pack in just taxes. Pick a side, either it is evil and should be rendered illegal or its okay as it is an income sourse for the government.

I personally have never smoked but I think in RI a pack of smokes is $8+ and I am sure w/o tax they would be around $3

I love how these right wingers protect the freedoms they cherish so deeply by pledging to ban them.

And yet, last month she praised the founding fathers for working tirelessly to end slavery. I guess that's why Jefferson and others kept slaves--for the sake of the children.

How do you regulate something that comes into the country from mass produced suppliers and in stronger potency that regulating would allow? This isn't like prohibition, where it was produced in state and in ways that left it less available than history might want you to believe. Bootleggers were everyday people who had a hidden still; cartels are a little harder to compete with. Especially when, regardless of how much we might want to believe otherwise, marijuana really is a gateway drug. In my experience anyway. I know only a few people who've smoked consistently and not at least dabbled (more so than once or twice in their lifetimes) in harder drugs.

Legalize something that'll lead to the use of illegal drugs? It might make the drug trade stronger...
