Students of liberty, from John Stuart Mill to Thomas Emerson, have all intentionally excluded children from their formula for freedom. The ACLU does not. Not even when the subject is pornography. Quote from Twilight Of LibertyIn 1982, the ACLU, in an amicus role, lost in a unanimous decision in the Supreme Court to legalize the sale and distribution of child pornography.…

All you are doing is repeating history by hammering on predators. Don't believe me ? Look back in history, The words you are speaking today are the same words that was spooking in the past about a group of People. this group where called Child Molesters persecuted, ridacuted and put to shame and even imprisoned before we where even a country. People felt that this group amoral and now they feel that it's ok. I'm going to give you a hint this group that prefer the Ark that Ned Flanders built, with 2 male animals of each species so nothing "improper" would happen... Until he blurts out:"Hey you too, cut that out!" If you don't get it by now then you will never get it. Albert Einstein wrote, "The problems that exist in the world today can not be solved by the level of thinking that created them

I am against child abuse. Certainly the higher grades of child pornography depict criminal activity (such as penetrative sex between an adult male and young child) and those involved can be dealt with by existing laws on rape and under age sex.
The remaining images are psuedo-pornography (nudity, inter teen sex and "lewd" behaviour) and the actual viewing of ANY grade of C.P. image is a psuedo-crime similar to possession of drugs, and has led to appalling human rights abuse on the part of the law comparable to the so-called war on terror.
Children and families are being destroyed by opportunistic state officials. Eventually this massive false abuse scandal (all visual psuedo-crime laws are false abuse) will discredit legitimate child protection measures.
I am begining to hold those responsible for expanding the definition of sexual predation into thought crime law (and consensual teen sex) with the same contempt I have for murderous sexual predators. The irony is that I am a puritan in my own personal life and until I looked into this issue would probably have expressed the same ignorant idea that "sexual predators" must be a uniform group, rather than a small group of sick men who should be subject to constant checks, and a vastly larger group of psuedo-criminals facing a lifetime of employment and housing discrimination guilty of nothing more then political incorrectness. I suggest you check out the inquistion21 website and rent a DVD of "Capturing the Freidmans" to realise that you and your children are not safe from this legislation.
The vast majority of links on the inquistion21 site are to libertarians such as myself. There a few links to the sites of disgruntled paedophiles who no doubt are delighted to so so many "normal" people be classed as such. After all, at this rate EVERYONE will end up classed as such. I sometimes wonder if the abuse industry has a secret paedophile agenda!
I certainly would not appprove of this since we only have to look at Iran to see how very early marriage has put women into the hands of sexual predators in religious guise leading to the complete moral and genetic degeneration of that nation, and genetic degenerates in the more extreme Mormon sects have used the same technique.
Bearing in mind that in many instances legislators
hide behind legal immunity as in the case of Waco, how long will it be before a state of civil war exists (as in one young man's misguided and tragic attempt to avenge this official mass murder) when enough "decent" families have been abused by the authorities? I say it's time for retroactive legislation to jail and seize assets of ALL those involved in the war on our own citizens. The ACLU is therfore quite legitimate in attempting to repeal the law.

YOu kids are so full of shit please turn this ridiculous blog off. You each - regardless what side you argue ACLU and Child Porn - sound off like you know next to nothing about the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
We are a Democratic Republic. the ACLU is a Socialistic/Communistic organization and while that does fly in Canada, the ACLU does not fly here.
Child Porn is not about speech either - it is about conduct - it is beyond a "thought crime" fucking a kid is an act and all are to be held accountable for their acts.
And if any ACLU document is "so subtle," it is, no doubt, to shroud the fact that the logic; as it has always been; is all fucked around.
What sanitary world do you live in? If I ever meet up with you all as you spew out your ridiculous beliefs in public I; or someone like me will challenge you - No personal attacks thats so stupid - grow up.

Has any of the ACLU mothers and fathers offered to have their own children filmed? My goodness, if I ran to county I would send child protective services to each and every ACLU household that has minor children.
