The Christian faith (who's political wing is the Republican party) for some reason believe that sex is bad and that pornography is somehow immoral. I don't know how they reached that conclusion, after all, one need only look as far as Job's daughters antics in the book of Genesis to see that the Bible is no authority on sexual morality.

One of the best ways to stop somebody stupid asking for something stupid is to let them have literally what they are asking for.

Want to tax smut? That'll be 25% extra added to every bible sold then.

Oh, good. Let's raise a few generations that can't defend themselves. Close down the Department of Defense and open the Department of Pansies. It will be really embarrassing when the U.S. is defeated by the armed might of Monaco.
