Are You Ready for a Fight?

Submitted by Shal

The FBI is joining the Bush Administration's "War on Porn." The intelligence agency has sent out a memo asking for agents to join the anti-porn squad. This time, they're targeting legal pornography that is marketed to adults, a tactic that hasn't been attempted with any strength since the days of Attorney General Ed Meese under President Reagan in the 1980s.

But [Attorney General Alberto] Gonzales endorses the rationale of predecessor Meese: that adult pornography is a threat to families and children. Christian conservatives, long skeptical of Gonzales, greeted the pornography initiative with what the Family Research Council called "a growing sense of confidence in our new attorney general."

Congress began funding the obscenity initiative in fiscal 2005 and specified that the FBI must devote 10 agents to adult pornography. The bureau decided to create a dedicated squad only in the Washington Field Office. "All other field offices may investigate obscenity cases pursuant to this initiative if resources are available," the directive from headquarters said. "Field offices should not, however, divert resources from higher priority matters, such as public corruption."


You'd think that maybe, just maybe, the government would have better things to do with its time, money, and investigative resources.

I don't know about you guys, but I like having people decide what I should and should not be able to look at. That whole "chosing for yourself" thing is bullshit anyway.

How about this. Instead of spending my money to stop people from eating poop on tape, you spend it on putting a homeless person in an apartment,, or making our schools a little better so we can stop being one of the dumbest, lowest scoring industrialized countries, or god forbid you spend it on health care.

Nah, let's stop people from playing with poopoo on film first, then worry about that other stuff.

Mwaha! Inspiration! Just when I was thinking maybe I didn't want to do porn, something like this comes along and I'm like, "Oh fuck, I could really piss people off...." Maybe porn is for me after all....

Seriously (not that that wasn't serious), this is fucked up. If some fucking Focus on the Family asshole doesn't want his kids watching porn maybe he ought to stop ruining people's lives and go home and (gasp) be a parent!!! eeek

what's next? Alcohol Prohibition? Mandatory sterilization excepting the most rich and powerful? A Two-way vid screen with Bush's picture and the words "Dubya is watching" emblazoned(sp?) across the screen?

Mrs. Gonzales: "Roberto, what is this filth I found on your laptop!?!"

AG Gonzales: "um... uh... er... oh, its.. uh research! Yes, research for work!, I'm starting an anti-porn unit and need to tell them where to start...(cough-cough)"

MG: "oh, sweetie, how thoughtful of you, I knew you could never like that stuff"

AG G: "oh, yes, you know me. I um... hate that horrible stuff too. And all those DVD's and magazines in the back of the closet, that's research too. And there's going to be tons more of it"

I'm not too worry about this. I mean, this administration has screwed everything else up. Iraq, government agencies (i.e. FEMA), the economy, etc. What makes you think they'll be able to accomplish anything else they set out to do successfully.

They are trying to stop the repulican disease. Love of porn. When I lived in D.C. and ran a Gang Bang club most of the ladies that were begging to be fucked were GOP wives from Great Falls, VA. Not too many liberal hippy girls. Hubbys when attending always had ther video cams going.

Okay

War on Terror going south.
Continued terror in Europe, daily death and mayhem in Irag
Gas at $3 a gallon
Major port and city in the toilet
Complete meltdown of emergency services - unable to evacuate a city
Dept of Homeland Security - one of the most sadly humorous misnomers - if not oxymorons - of all time.
1/2 trillion dollar deficit.

But... I know! Let's strike a blow against victimless crime! Let's waste innumberable resources attacking something that no one gives a single flying fuck about.

The deal is this. When you are a putz, changing jobs does not change your essential nature. A putz, once elected president, is a presidential putz.
