I've always been amazed by political potato heads who believe things will change for the better when the Democrats, who should be called the Socialists, take control of the reins of power in the US.
When the Socialists ran the Soviet Union, do you think they were porn friendly? Or East Germany? Or Cuba, still in the grips of a totalitarian control freak oligarchy?
Max Hardcore was prosecuted in Tampa Florida, one of the more liberal places in the country. The population there is young and leans left. Had the Bush Administration really wanted to get Paul Little (Max Hardcore) they would have prosecuted him in Utah, overwhelmingly Republican and Mormon.
Maybe they would have tried him in Idaho, also a Republican stronghold.
Sure, the conservative right talks a good game when it comes to anti-pornography. They use it as a tool to raise money, but then nothing happens. The real zealots are the man-hating feminist anti-porn crusaders and they nest in the Democratic Party.
In California where I live, the electorate voted to allow medical marijuana to be prescribed by physicians and the then Clinton Administration sent in Federal agents to prosecute doctors who wrote medical marijuana prescriptions. Well, it ain't gonna get any better if Obama wins the White House. It may get worse. Most of the nanny-state freedom-stealing legislation comes from these control freaks and wouldn't protecting children, a staple of left-leaning legislators, be a good reason to begin banning pornography?
I don't like the Repugnantclans, I never have and I most likely never will.
At least they have a libertarian wing that opposes government power to do things like ban pornography or ban smoking even in your own home. But..I fear the Demoncrass, these folks impose their ideas on everybody, whether you like it or not. After all, it's for your own good.
