Republicans believe they are dictators to which I say move to Saudi Arabia, Russia, China or Iran and live happily ever after. Censorship stinks!

[metalwolf]

Book banning is nothing new, however, when you see books of an obvious sexual nature that "responsible" parents would deem unacceptable for their "minor children" to view, the government must step in, as the "parent" decides what their minor children should be able to view. Those children aren't yours and they don't belong to the state (which I know upsets you Marxist-Communists), they are the responsibility of their parents, who send their children to school to learn academic materials, not flagrant sexual material.

I read how in the 1950's they tried to ban comic books which were lead by someone named Fredric Wertham.

The insane history of how American paranoia ruined and censored comic books

The Comics Code was the single most awful thing to happen to comic books and American creativity.

I remember during the 1980's when Moral guardians tried censoring heavy metal music, the trying to censor only made the heavy metal bands they wanted to censor famous.

Mainstream Metal, Parental Advisories, and Censorship - TeachRock

How was Heavy Metal involved in the 1980s controversy surrounding the creation of parental advisories for “offensive” music?

IMHO, censorship has the opposite effect of trying to ban stuff and often ends up vindicating a group of people in feeling their oppressed.

Free speech is very important to Americans, When people feel they are targeted by censorship, they become more of a community as they feel targeted and rightfully so.

Censorship will be the death of all of us.

it's the parents job to decide and discipline their children accordingly. NOT big right wing government. Our children never seemed interested in porn yet they were reading lovers.

I would rather have my children hanging out at a book store drinking coffee, hot chocolate, tea or water checking out books and lego's than attending a gross right wing campaign rally around adults repeating lies from their favorite liars.

Thanks so much for your kind yet empty thoughts thus far.

Remember it's the parents job to discipline the children and teach right from wrong. Thinking back at the number of criminals conservative RINO administrations produce such as Watergate, Iran-Contra, home alone scams, big bank scams, Trump scams, losing track of bail out money scams, weapons missing in Iraq, conservatives committing and prosecuted for voting fraud, conservatives pushing voter suppression etc etc etc ....where were the parents? Were children left with BIG GOVERNMENt high crime baby sitters?

Two our children graduated college with honors ...... our third is a fine craftsman with with excellent skills in upper level restaurant management.

The OP thread headline is another unclean start. It is also retarded. What the author of the OP is attempting to grunt out is his disdain for some Republicans legislators in a single state seeking to ban a couple of books. The books may be crap. Or maybe their not. I suspect that most Republicans instinctively oppose censorship.

It would be on different ground if the concern was simply some school board decision to put the books in schools. But here the two legislators appear to be focusing attention on a national bookstore chain. That’s out of bounds as I see it.

So, the stupid OP could have had some merit. Instead, it’s just another trite attack on “those” Republicans. How dull and meaningless. Stupid trolls suck.

I think those Conservatives could make friends with Jack Thompson.

No Conservative cares what ADULTS chose to read or purchase.

Yup, it is only the groomers who demand children be exposed to sexual materials. That would be the DEMOCRAT Party.

The Party of perverts.

No, asshole, but idiot tards like you think we are, or at least try to TELL weak-minded, ill-informed people as a talking point for support that we are because you have no actual talking point for why anyone should follow your party much less support a horrible POS like Joe Bedpan.

I support free speech. Most conservatives do.

In the olden days, liberals also supported free speech. But those days are gone.
