Santorum gone too far

Am I the only one who read the title, and thought, "What? It got on the rug?"

Or more accurately, "Always thus to terrible lizards!" (Assuming "tyranosaurus" was meant to be in the dative and not the vocative, though it's shown in the nominative.)

I wouldn't question the Latin grammar of someone in the habit of carrying what he refers to as his "magical murder bag".

The "gone too far" in the title makes me think of is a couple of lines from Futurama:

"I say your three cent titanium tax goes too far!"
"And I say your three cent titanium tax doesn't go too far enough!"

In the 80s I lived in a county in Florida that attempted this; it lasted long enough for me to skedaddle. Not that I was much into the porn, it was the principle.

You must have lived where I live. Here, stores that sell porn are illegal. Stripper places of any kind are illegal. Alcohol sales on Sunday are also illegal. And our Sheriff is on a mission from God, to go after anything that the good Christians don't like. But we do have churches. Lots and lots of churches...

The hell? I thought the whole conservative idea was small government, yet almost everything I've seen this nomination run has been about enacting more rules restricting people's lives. Banning 'obscenity' is really one of those very slippery slope things - when is something obscene, and when is it art?

Are those even mutually exclusive? And then - what is even objectively obscene? Censoring and/or banning art and imagery due to 'obscenity' is literally what they're still doing in parts of Russia today to preserve 'morality' and it's heinous that this is an electable platform in the US.

Republicans want to get government off our backs and into our bedrooms.

The original joke (from Cartoon Network) is "Semper fi tyrannosaurus." So Corsair 115 was either politely pointing out that I stole the joke or mildly pointing out that I had bungled the joke. I liked my version more, so I went with it.

In Canis Latinicus declension rules are, shall we say, relaxed.

Not that it matters, but the OP article copied just an excerpt of the statement from a collection of policy statements from all the republican candidates in response to a group "Morality in Media." It was from January, so not sure why it's news today.

http://www.christiannewswire.com/news/6425818602.html

Three of the leading GOP 2012 Presidential candidates have made statements committing to enforce existing federal obscenity laws if they are elected, while the current administration still refuses to enforce federal obscenity laws prohibiting distribution of hardcore pornography, according to Morality in Media.

Morality In Media launched efforts in October 2011 to contact the 2012 presidential candidates, including President Obama, to obtain their respective views on the enforcement of obscenity laws. Thousands of individuals sent emails, made calls and even spoke to the candidates in person urging them to respond to the survey. As a result of these efforts, the following candidates responded:

Former Senator Rick Santorum in a written statement:
“Federal obscenity laws should be vigorously enforced. If elected President, I will appoint an Attorney General who will do so.”

Former Governor Mitt Romney in a written statement:
“(I)t is imperative that we cultivate the promotion of fundamental family values. This can be accomplished with increased parental involvement and enhanced supervision of our children. It includes strict enforcement of our nation’s obscenity laws, as well as the promotion of parental software controls that guard our children from Internet pornography.”

Former Speaker Newt Gingrich in a face-to-face meeting:
When MIM’s Executive Director Dawn Hawkins asked former Speaker Gingrich if he will enforce existing laws that make distribution of hard-core adult pornography illegal, he responded: “Yes, I will appoint an Attorney General who will enforce these laws.”

Santorum is a Programmed Religious Robot whose low functioning mind is so befuddled by his religious indoctrination he is unable to reach rational and logical
conclusions on issues.

Many of those on the Far Right have no clue the majority of Americans are now Pro-Choice or the numbers of those now
claiming to be non-religious has grown by mult-millions in the last twenty years in general and since 9-11 in particular.

The Dumocrats, the Republicans, the Pundits and the Media do not seem to realize that ALL National elections are decided by the independent voters.

While I HATE the dishonest, prolific lying
elitist, arrogant, narcissistic, socialist and racist con man whose judgement skills are as terrible as his integrity is now our president, and I want him defeated, while I could have voted for Palin, there is no way I would ever vote for a religious robot like Rick Santorum who belongs in a sanatorium!

(Any who do not know everything I said about Oduma it 100% true is either totally ignorant of the facts or they are not bright enough to be able to comprehend what the facts mean,.)

And FYI, MANY conseratives do NOT want to control others, they DO want small govermen and to control gov. spending.

Any who do not support the Tea Party's Three Basic Tenets have a Screw lose. So do the retards who say the Tea Pary is racist!

Are you talking about the three tenets that appear in Foley's book?

limited government,
unapologetic U.S. sovereignty, and
constitutional originalism.

He won't be. Mainly because he'll be judged rationally by the rational.

Actually it's a day without pissing every hour. And trying to ignore an "unproductive" cough. Sunshine you want to stay out of.

To paraphrase a certain dish tv commercial, Don't develop high blood pressure.

Does the moderation make your super secret magic ninja words not travel through the intertubs right to 'destroy' the target?

What a great way to win the million.
