My Begining

Wow, I'm really pissed off right now. As some of you may or may not know, I am a Libertarian. I'm sure my personal politics are somewhat different than most of the people reading this right now. If I had to be forced to define myself as 'conservative' or 'liberal' I would probably be conservative, mostly because of my deep seeded hatred of big government. And for all the hatred of President Bush, I usually give him the benefit of a doubt until I hear all the sides. But tonight, well...I've become very upset with him. This link was posted on Fark today, which talks about Bush's 'War on Porn' initiative. I've actually checked out Suicide Girls before. Not for the porn, but for stuff on body modification. And some of the pics are actually very artistic. I've never seen the porn (cause you've got to be a member) but a lot of the other images they have are really well done. Anyway, this post kinda pissed me off, so I looked around and found this article which was the least biased article I could find on the subject (that's not saying much, because it is still pretty left leaning). So now I'm really pissed. I mean, personally I'm not into porn. Porn is a kind of sad alternative for a lot of women, and a lot of women are mistreated in the industry. Morally, I may have my own thoughts, but I'm not out to convert the world.

But politically, I'm very pro porn. I mean, I fucking hate censorship. It is a total infringement on freedom of speech. The bigger the government gets, the more power we give them, the more we sacrifice our own personal rights. And this is a perfect example of that. And it's not like they're targeting kiddie porn or sites who force women into porn. They are targeting pornography portraying consenting adults! What the fuck!? Perhaps naked pictures aren't exactly the best example of free speech in action, but when we start making distinctions between what is acceptable and what is unacceptable then it isn't FREE FUCKING SPEACH ANYMORE!

This is why I'm not a Republican any more. They used to be all about small government. They used to be anti-censorship. And I'm sure there are plenty who still are. But the asshats in charge are going completely the wrong way with this. THEY ARE TAKING AWAY OUR FUCKING RIGHTS!

As you can see, censorship is one issue that really gets me riled up. I just don't understand it. Our nation was founded on the idea of free speech. Why is the government so determined to take that away? It's fucking Fahrenheit 451 man. It's not science fiction, that's our nation’s future if we don't take a fucking stand on this! FUCK THE FCC AND FUCK THE OBSECNITY PROSCECUTION TASK FORCE!
