Bachmann said she would sign a pledge to ban porn and gay marriage.
What?
AT LEAST she is not being a hypocrit and only wanting to ban "gay marriage" but also letting straights what they can and cannot do with their personal sex lives. ugh.
a ban on porn? can you imagine?
lol
here come the porn police! better flush the stuff!
nutcake
Yeah - I can imagine that it would be VERY expensive to enforce, that's for sure.
I thought that whole crew's rallying cry was smaller government and getting the gov out of people's beeswax and letting the free market decide. (or am I confusing her with Ron Paul?)
Here is FoxNews' coverage of this pledge and it does seem kind of 'fair and balanced' in this article - http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011...family-values/
When you read that the group's aim is to strengthen marriage in the US on the face of it your like 'Yeah, marriage probably does need to be strengthened as an institution in our country because its' modern day unraveling is expensive for everyone', but good grief - then you read the fine print.
Why would a politician even need to become involved in something like this?
Well, on the face of it, the State bears the burden financially of families not staying together.
But how can that wing want to dictate people's personal lives and then get PO'd when Michelle Obama wants to get kids to drink less pop --- which costs the US a fortune in the long run?
At least with Bachmann you know that she really does believe in what she spouts out and she puts her money where her mouth is, and isn't just an egomaniac chasing a camera ...
I strongly believe in women having access to safe and legal abortions, but she shuts down one of my favorite comebacks to people who are anti-choice "How many unwanted children have you taken in and raised?"
She can pipe up "23 thank you very much" - that's impressive.
I haven't had time to do it yet, but I was interested in reading up more on her foster parenting.

Do you see that tripe that passes as legislation through Nashville?
Yes, I can imagine a ban on porn but imagining is about all that will ever happen. It would not be enforceable. I've seen the damage porn can do to families and individuals and would welcome a ban but it is unrealistic. It didn't work with alcohol and sadly would not work with porn.
I've seen far more marriages and families ruined by affairs. However, I suppose a ban on those wouldn't gain much traction with her congressional peers.
There are laws against adultery but, again, not enforced/enforceable.
I moved this post to a separate thread.

Yes, but those are at the state level and not every jurisdiction has laws against it. I'm referring to a federal ban, which I assume is also what she's pushing for.
Although, back to the porn, I wonder what Google would do if a ban was passed...
