Post by: Jim Logajan on April 11, 2017, 02:41:51 PM
Republican backed proposals to require internet-enabled devices block online porn - unless you pay $20 to unblock:

What is it with Republican politicians anyway?

It's painting Republicans with one brush.  There are always a bunch of lunatic bills being floated by all the parties and the truth is that only the extremist control freaks are trying to get this sort of thing in place and by "this sort of thing" I am including probably as much or more insane regulation proposals from the Democrats on any number of subjects, all with the idea of state control of our behavior. Unfortunately, they have found that you can get around the legislative process by issuing agency edicts, which is a much more dangerous and insidious threat to individual freedom.  This is how the extremists, even if they are a minority, get stuff forced on us without the more reasonable majority of us agreeing to it.

They'll do it, technology is at a point where it's virtual mind reading and we are criminalizing THOUGHT.

What is it with progressive blogs?

In some states, it is Republicans that have introduced it, in some states Democrats and in some states both.  This is not a Republican issue.  Nor is it one that has gained any traction.

Reason.com is the website of the libertarian magazine of the same name. Would a progressive blog have a pro-gun-rights article about 3D printed guns like this one?:

Yeah, the proposed laws will never (hopefully) pass first amendment muster.

I seem to recall Rick Santorum taking a lot of heat over this when he ran for president. It didn't work out well for him.

Rush was spot on when she said that this was about the state controlling more of our behavior. Just another way for the government to have a say in our lives instead of letting people live their lives how they choose.

Government should worry more about its internal corruption on all levels rather than what sex sites people look at.   ::)
