Focus on the Porn

The justice Department is in shambles. The offices are filled with "lawyers" who attended madrassas like Liberty U. and Regent School of Law. Who needs those "elites" out of Harvard and Yale? For all intents and purposes, the Civil Rights Division is nonexistent. Many of our best and brightest were either forced out by the Politburo or were so demoralized that they quit. This is where torture was justified while the Geneva Conventions were invalidated. Mr. Holder has a challenge ahead of him to put it mildly.

With all that going on, Focus on the Family is obsessed with porn. Porn.

But apparently the Republicans on the committee — Sens. Specter, Orrin Hatch, Charles Grassley, Jon Kyl, Jeff Sessions, Lindsey Graham, John Cornyn, Sam Brownback and Tom Coburn — refused to ask questions on these topics.

"It is shameful that pro-family Republicans refused to question Holder on his future enforcement of federal adult-obscenity laws," said Ashley Horne, federal policy analyst at Focus on the Family Action. "Especially when the last three attorneys general have done nothing to enforce the law and help protect families."

When it comes to porn, I have a simple solution. If your don't like it --- don't view it. The real issue is that groups like Focus on the Family want to substitute their judgment for mine and yours. So-called Christian movie critic, Ted Baehr, warns audiences of excessive male torso exposure. Shall that be the standard of what is obscene? How about the puritans over at Parents Television Council? They think that CSI: Crime Scene Investigation is indecent. They would limit our viewership to blather like Touched by and Angel and they are petrified by gay TV characters.

When they are not gay bashing, groups like Focus on the Family, American Family Association, Family Research Council and Vision America have a different mission. Their objective is to transform America into a theocracy. They will decide what books we can read; what television shows we can watch; what movies we can see; what web sites we can visit and what magazines we can subscribe to.

Thanks but no thanks.
