    You can't "ban" homosexuality" and no one wants to ban contraception, just the concept of having the government pay for free rubbers...hell, they cost what, a dollar? As for pornography, it must be moderated and kept from children.

The left seeks trickle up stimuli, the right trickle down. And I should emphasize tends for both sides do both, both engage in crony capitalism where whether you call it corporatism or fascism, power is sucked out of society and into the hands of a few elite rulers.
    I see. Disregard previous post.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    No not really. We could care less what you do in the bedroom because of freedom to choose.

    Not at all. I'm on the right side, when it comes to economics for the most part. However the folks that do think this way are on the right, not the left.

    It's no wonder why some righties here have a problem with left wingers--they actually believe in their heart of hearts that left=totalitarianism right=libertarianism. It's quite the false fantasy some of you right wingers live in.
    Sorry--but I do not accept the idea that being intolerant of intolerance is THE SAME THING as being intolerant of anything else.

    Then you haven't been to Virginia my friend. It is illegal here. The state motto is "Virginia is for Lovers" but it should be "Virginia is for Lovers, but only in the missionary position". Get caught or reported in Virginia and there are some very sturdy prisons waiting your arrival.

    Interesting. The Nazis did the same with Röhm. Attention was called to his sexual escapades but that wasn't the real reason he was eliminated.

One of the important and positive things about these election results, aside from not having to watch my country go down the tubes under the mismanagement of corporate stooges like Romoney & ol' Lying Ryan, is the fact that the rightwingers, especially Romney, based their campaigns on lies and the lies didn't work in the end. Hurray for the American people.
    Reality1st, first hello, this is the first post I have seen from you so welcome, I am a new to this site as well.
    You have some very strong opinions in your post with out much substanial evidence, would you care to back any of those up with facts?

    Nothing is wrong with socially enforced or individual decency. The only trouble comes when decency is mandated by the state.
