I reacted strongly when Santorum went on his porn jihad. Nothing bothers me more than censorship emanating from the right.
Glenn is right. After this, Santorum is an unacceptable candidate.

Proscription of obscenity does not qualify as censorship, now or in the past. Serious conservatives are generally strongly opposed to the river of filth engulfing our culture, while simultaneously remaining strongly against ACTUAL censorship.
The current laws against pronz are ipso facto censorship. It is not government’s place to lead your holy war against teh bad pronz.
There was a need for an influx of capital in the system or EVERYONE would have paid the price.
NO. Wrong. Yes, there would have been a very brutal and short recession followed by a nice bounce-back and a banking system with a lot of corruption and poison removed. See ‘Iceland’.
At this point, there is only Ron Paul left to support. Barring his unlikely victory, the US presidential outcome does not matter. It’s not even an event.

“Santorum Promises Broad War on Porn.”
prairie wind said…
War on Poverty led to more welfare, and more poverty. War on Drugs led to more drugs and more drug-related violence. What the hell do they think the war on porn would do?
Santorum was quoted only in snippets. He said “IF” Romney is no more conservative than Obama, that would be a problem.
As to Internet porn, don’t blame Santorum the next time your phone call is dropped because some bandwidth hog is streaming porn.
I disqualified Santorum a month ago, after he mused about banning birth control. And I had Perry disqualified earlier. Gingrich is another big spender with loony ideas. None of these clowns understands the proper function of government, which is to protect individual rights through police, military and courts. They all just want to spend, spend, spend, to buy votes, buy votes, buy votes. Bribe taxpayers with their own money. Rob Peter to pay Paul. No thanks!
The real Paul looks like the best choice, at least on domestic and economic issues. But I worry about his foreign policy, or lack thereof, and it’s a serious worry.
I’m hoping I could live with Romney.
Re: “… the traditional socio-religious understanding of a transcendent purpose to human existence …” (Mark Steyn quote)
Religions can believe what they want, but in my opinion there is no “transcendent purpose to human existence”. We’re here to live our own lives. A “transcendent purpose” outside oneself ultimately equates to slavery.
Ion Cannon both legal and illegal internet porn, stop relying on the political & law enforcement establishment to do it for you. Because they won’t, it’s not in their best interests to do so. Too much campaign money to be lost if it’s even considered.

The power to do the right thing is in your hands
Oh, nuts. Romney is Obama dressed up in a Republican suit. PERIOD.
He is the choice of the Republican Elite.
Tea Party conservatives do not like him because they see that he is the elite’s answer to Obama and they actually think they can win this with Romney.
Perhaps , in part, because Romney has the money to go the distance.
If they really want to defeat Obama as they claim (and I have my doubts about their claims, else John ‘boo hoo’ Boehner would bloody well SPEAK UP or nudge Mitch McConnell awake every once in awhile and fight what Obama is doing RIGHT NOW!)
As actions speak louder than words, I take it they do not really want to win this thing, or if they do, they want THEIR guy to win it so all stays ‘cush’ there in Washington, D.C.
I find them all just despicable-especially when the seriousness of the situation continues to worsen.
I listen to Newt Gingrich and, frankly, I don’t care if his ‘baggage’ is the size of a BOXCAR, I think he has what it takes to be the one to take out Obama. Superior mind with millions of pertinent facts at hand and a real down to earth ding dong dangit plan to actually bring back the economy and other really important social issues under the auspices of the CONSTITUTION.
The ‘powers that be’ and the puppets of the same (msm) ignore Dr. Paul in the hope that he will just shut up about fraud and the Constitution and go back to Texas. That fact should be ringing alarm bells in every American household. If the msm does not like a public figure, that public figure is worth a second look – I have given Dr. Paul a second look and I like what I see…I always liked the American Constitution since I was not born into the elitist class. It would be a no brainer, IMO, for any person with no vested interest in nanny state…even a far sighted peon of nanny state who fears Dictatorship/tyranny/famine/gulags…any self respecting citizen would vote for the man who has a track record of following the Constitution in all state matters and the Bible in personal matters. Censorship and prohibition always lead to loss of Liberty (stating the obvious). My vote would go to Dr. Paul, with enthusiam.
‘enthusiasm’
It wasn’t the birth control musings specifically that disqualify Santorum (which is what I said above), it was the callous and contemptible use of the word “gift” to describe a child conceived by rape. This shows a collectivist rather than an individualist mindset.
Get him out of there.
Why is it impossible to understand the simple fact that in a Federal Government that stuck to its enumerated powers, Santorum’s social beliefs would be as relevant as those of the Queen of England, even if he were to become president?
These are not Federal issues. The government is broke and going further into debt at an accelerating pace. The press would tell us what Marie Antoinette had for dinner while the mob stormed the gates.
