"Because They Hate Freedom..." 

Ah, yes. The totally bogus reason W keeps giving for why things like Fallujah happen in Iraq. "Because they hate freedom," he says. Well, that's just crap. It's because we invaded their country, the only provocation being some Bush family vendetta against Sadam, a man who was armed and funded by Reagan and Bush prior to the first Gulf War.

No, the ones who really hate freedom are W and company, as exemplefied by John Ashcroft and his religious insanity. America is the likely target of terrorist attack, so let's go after American citizens instead. Let's go after Tommy Chong, whose only crime was selling glass pipes on the internet. Or, for the first time in over a decade, let's go after porn.

Yeah, there's a major threat that's going to kill people -- consenting adults making sexual entertainment for other consenting adults.
Quoth Asscroft: "(Pornography) invades our homes persistently though the mail, phone, VCR, cable TV and the Internet... (and has) strewn its victims from coast to coast."
Hm. There's an image. Herds of wild porn creeping through the streets and oozing into our homes uninvited. Yeah, I've certainly gotten a lot of porn through my phone (not). And, oh dear, how did this pornographic video tape wind up in my VCR? I didn't put it there. And I am sick of having to step over all the porn victims strewn all over the place.

But it's just more of the typical Republican double-speak. Out of one side of their mouth, they'll say that big corporations should not be regulated at all, they should be free to do what they want because it's "good for business." At the same time, the other side is saying that the American people should not be free to do what they want, look at consenting adults engaging in sex, smoking flowers, etc., etc.

Well, let me offer this quote from House Resolution 3687 -- debated, written, read and discussed in Congress. The filthy bastards:
"As used in this section, the term profane, used with respect to language, includes the words shit, piss, fuck, cunt, asshole, and the phrases cock sucker, mother fucker, and ass hole, compound use (including hyphenated compounds) of such words and phrases with each other or with other words or phrases, and other grammatical forms of such words and phrases (including verb, adjective, gerund, participle, and infinitive forms).'.
So -- except for the replacement of "tits" with "asshole," a George Carlin routine has now been immortalized in official government documents. If it passes, six of his seven dirty words will become part of the United States Code.

Now ain't that a fucking kick in the cunt? Shit. Those cocksucking, motherfucking assholes can go piss up a rope for all I care.
