The former Pennsylvania senator said he will "prohibit distribution of hardcore (obscene) pornography on the Internet, on cable/satellite TV, on hotel/motel TV, in retail shops and through the mail or by common carrier." sudi arabia alert! LOL looks like religious nut jobs are taking over the USA too?
Alex aka atvking the penultimate member of the peanut gallery arrives . Only one missing now . Also porn in the US will be banned right after the 3rd apocalypse .
never underestimate religious nut jobs...santorum is a joke but he is a presidential candidate as well...
"religious nut jobs" ? Wow. It's hilarious where we've made it as a country.. . . Obama is a joke, but he's actually our president........
1. Obscene porn is already illegal in the USA. The question always comes down to what is obscene. As has been said, it is hard to describe, but I know it when I see it. 2. Rick Santorum could absolutely, if he were President, push the DOJ to enforce the porn laws more and you would see more suits against really nasty hardcore porn. Like stuff involving snuff films, people eating shit, etc. 3. Rick Santorum has, in my opinion, no chance to end up being President of the United States. There is certainly a percentage of America that does like him and shares his views. But the rest America votes too.
Obscene is any pornographic scene which is not well lit. For that, we have to watch Jackass. Ah, now THAT is where the rubber hits the road, isn't it. I really don't get the time wasted by the president, or anyone else for that matter, debating things with people who have no shot at being the candidate. In the last two days, the president made part of his stump speech a rebuttal to Gingrich's claim that he could get the gas price down quickly. Why is he wasting time responding to Gingrich? Obama had three years to make gas prices what they are, so when he says there is no short term fix, I think we all agree. Its not exactly exculpatory.
If the Republicans had just run a fiscal and security conservative this year and left the social crap behind they would have runaway with the election. Instead, they seem to be pushing for the one thing that will let Obama win a second term even democrats didn't really want him to have. This is going to go down as an opportunity missed bigtime.
he said it was a "cancer for relationships and marriage" I really think he is talking about regular porn...people eating shit is not something you would see in quote " on hotel/motel TV"...I think he is talking about a Saudi Arabia type scenario... completely agree with him if he wants to outlaw the piss/shit/animal stuff but in the context he mentioned it in it sure sounds like he is targeting regular porn.....
Its not the Republicans, but rather each candidate. Santorum, at his core, is a scary social conservative that spends like a Democrat pushing hard right social issues. Gingrich is a brilliant, though shameless panderer who has proven himself to be the representative of politics as usual. Romney isn't running a hard right social campaign, but he is just kind of boring. He has been so cautious in his campaigning, he hasn't said enough to give the fiscal conservatives the warm and fuzzys that he is going to reform Washington spending. I suspect Chris Christie, at his core, is the type of candidate we wanted, though he would have gotten taken apart as a pro-amnesty candidate in the primaries, not to mention his weight is a very real health concern. Also too young IMO. Maybe. With three running 1.6 trillion dollar deficits, a flacid economy, runaway inflation, 5$ a gallon gas, and the most divisive administration in history, Obama is making Romney's boring campaign look pretty damn good. The real action is in the house, senate, and local elections anyway. 2010 gave us enough Republicans to sweep Voter ID and anti-public employee union legislation into 32 states, Outside of California, the map is getting a lot more red.
quote from his website ricksantorum.com : "America is suffering a pandemic of harm from pornography. A wealth of research is now available demonstrating that pornography causes profound brain changes in both children and adults, resulting in widespread negative consequences. Addiction to pornography is now common for adults and even for some children. The average age of first exposure to hard-core, Internet pornography is now 11. Pornography is toxic to marriages and relationships. It contributes to misogyny and violence against women. It is a contributing factor to prostitution and sex trafficking. Every family must now be concerned about the harm from pornography. As a parent, I am concerned about the widespread distribution of illegal obscene pornography and its profound effects on our culture. For many decades, the American public has actively petitioned the United States Congress for laws prohibiting distribution of hard-core adult pornography." It's quite clear that he is targeting regular pornography with the exception of the "obscene" word that was probably put in there by some PR to give him a way out if this goes sour on him...
Cool. Political advice from someone whose own government was the original subject of the term "ethnic cleansing". Might be a good idea to clean up your dump before insisting we tidy up our house.
Based on his posts its a threat to his business life, not personal. Gotta love the fact that one of the guys that proclaims his disdain for the US at every opportunity is worried about our legislation affecting his income. Apparently he just hates us enough to talk bad about us, but depends on our population for his daily bread. Sorta typical.
actually I don't give 2 shits about internal american politics or if you chose to slap yourselves with bibles to death...the problem is you impose your politics on the rest of the world...its worrying to see a nut job like santorum get such support from "the best nation in the world" or what ever the fuck you think about yourselves...I don't insist you tidy up your house, its YOUR house do with it as you wish...the only reason I follow US politics at all is because you will nazi your views and indeed enforce your views upon the rest of the world... to tell you the truth it sucks to be non-american and have to worry about what nutjob you will pick in to office next, and in a few years you will all say what a shit president he is but he will get to make global decisions that have a long lasting impact on the millions of people you are currently oppressing...you will all go an defend your governments actions abroad even though you heavily criticize it domestically for the smelly piece of shit that it is...you will pretend that its a "black and white" situation with foreign policy even though you have 1000-s of complaints against your own government domestically you , somehow, assume that your foreign policy is 100% honest and decent ....no double standard there at all @ obamanation no I see it as a threat to civilization...kind of like a new inquisition...US inbreed bible slapper voters scare me...the US already retards the world with this "honest" foreign policy I would hate to have to take your "religious" crap as well...religion will be more and more important in US politics considering the large number of muslims in the USA and their growth + your economy is going to shit, this brings nutjobs to power real quick...in 10 years elections in the USA will be more about god than about economy...
@ATVKing: Domestic policy is little different than foreign policy. There will be those who like it, those who hate it, and everything in between. Post 9-11 was about the most consensus we've had on foreign policy in a long time and even then there was dissent. So no, nothing is black and white, like you try and make it out to be by characterizing it as a "smelly piece of shit". Oh, and regarding the thinking that says "US foreign policy effects me, so I should have a say", try and keep in mind that, although Google's business practices and strategy effect Apple share holders, Apple shareholders do not get to make management decisions for Google for obvious reasons. We start letting guys like you guide our decisions and we might start ethnically cleansing each other. Not a good idea.
Gee, do ya kiss your children with that filthy mouth sonny? Try and get that anger under control... We just talk about politics in here. With the apparent exception of little Mikael none of us actually set government policy.
I don't hold americans actually responsible for their governments decisions if this is what you are insinuating... but fact is your politics spill over, or should I say are forced upon other regions...this sucks considering that the decisions may get to be made by lunatics like santorum...the US has stood for correct values regarding personal freedoms and rights even though your wall street predatory government blows in almost everything else...now that you seem to be turning religious I hate to say that I may start to miss the old USA at least then you only bombed and stuff but didn't break out the bible and start minding the business of other peoples dicks... just saying that it is sad what the USA seems to be becoming...not actually under the illusion that obamanation and robjones get to call the shots
