Romney Job 1: Economy, Job 2: Porn

[Ted]

Republican Mitt Romney insists his No. 1 job is fixing the economy but a former Reagan administration anti-porn prosecutor says the candidate's campaign has assured him that he also will "vigorously" crack down on pornographers if he is elected president.

He likely attributes the over prevalence of pornography as a major contribution to an immoral, crumbling America; and wishes to empower the American people to make a choice in viewing the same.

Here's an idea: Do your job, mind your business and LEAVE PEOPLE ALONE!

Why do people in America think the government should be in our everyday lives so damn much? We literally can't do anything without SOME sort of government interference.

I will from this day forward never say or type the word government, it has now become Nannyment.

Fundamentalists. There is a voting block amongst the conservatives that has no problem legislating their brand of morally. Romney happens to belong to one such group. Read up on Prop 8 in California.

EVERYONE in power legislates their morality these days...only "Fundamentalists" are smeared for it.

Oh I know all about it, I used to be one of them. I come from a very conservative Christian background, raised Southern Baptist and was taught all about family values and right and wrong vs moral and immoral.

I also believed that if it was good for me it was good for everyone and why not have our Nannyment legislate the same way?

I have since learned that whether right or wrong my type of morals work for me, not necessarily everyone and Nannyment should have no part playing a role in people's morals. I guess that makes me more of a Libertarian than a Conservative and I'm ok with that.

It's a shame that the pop culture has coursened so badly, people feel they have to turn to .gov for help. I also see this type of activism as an example of how progressivism has inculcated so many people with the idea that they are helpless to effect change without the force of the .gov.

I agree, the federal government should stay out of this debate--leave it to the states and the people to decide how to govern themselves.

Yes, there are better things to do.

Among such things is abiding by the Constitution.

Folks don't care about that though.

So instead, the federal executive will promise to create jobs and kill porn and provide healthcare...none of which are within the Constitutional definition of the executive's role.

Give some bread. Produce a circus. The people will enslave themselves.

I've seen the "bread and circus" quote used a lot lately. Where did it come from?

The Roman empire. They provided loaves of bread at the Circus Maximus, (the Colosseum). The games kept them amused and the bread kept them fed. All at the expense of the tax payers.

Thanks but I should have clarified: I knew the origins of the quote but I was wondering what spurred its revival as of late.

The first one I saw using it was Jeremy, he is a great guy but I question how many original thoughts he has sometimes

Dang, this is the first time I have ever heard the term used at all. No faulting you for questioning Jeremy, be sure to be nice to his mom at the holidays

Everyone in government seems okay with 'legislating morality'; otherwise why would the Supreme Court find it permissible to murder a defenseless child, and why would the Supremes declare that citizens may be forced into a contract or taxed if they don't do so? Or why would the Supremes and Congress continually allow [STRIKE]discrimination[/STRIKE]unequal treatment before the law on the basis of race, religion, creed or sexual orientation?

What kind of bread would you like with your circus?

I would offer you Cinnamon, but that spiced bread has been banned under the laws preserving the dead body of Liberty.
