http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,44398,00.html Ashcroft's Hard Line on Hardcore By Declan McCullagh (declan@wired.com) 2:00 a.m. June 9, 2001 PDT WASHINGTON -- Look out, Internet sextrepreneurs: John Aschroft wants you to serve hard time. In explicit terms, the attorney general told Congress this week that hardcore sex sites would no longer be selling peeks at balloon-breasted babes. "I am concerned about obscenity and I'm concerned about obscenity as it relates to our children," Ashcroft said in his first appearance before the House Judiciary Committee.

He said Justice Department prosecutors would help state officials imprison sex-site operators that feature obscene images: "We try to be especially accommodating to local law enforcement to assist them, and I would think that would be an objective of ours in this respect." A number of Republicans asked Ashcroft to pledge to prosecute raunch and ribaldry, but Rep. Bob Goodlatte of Virginia -- who also, unbelievably, is co-chair of the Internet Caucus -- was the most persistent. "The failure of the (Clinton) administration to enforce those laws has led to a proliferation of obscenity, both online and off," Goodlatte said. "And I am particularly concerned about the safety of our children on the Internet, where they're subjected to child pornography and solicitation in a massive way."

......its for the children..... I can see all the Right Wing Whores wrapping themselves in that as they rake in the checks from the Far Rt. Fringe who next will try to move on Roe v. Wade. This is the cHRISTIAN (lower c)....COAL_lition at its worst. They have been building power by a fluky flakey alliance between right wing Catholics, the Fundies and one hell of a lot of very well meaning but somewhat constipated people. It is truly amazing how the first people to cry about the "rights of the individual vs. the "State" " are the first to scream to the state for help as they chip away at the same rights by using PORN as a TROJAN HORSE.
Maybe the Head Attorney General mentally isn't over 21 but he sure as hell better not interfere with the right to READ ANYTHING for anyone > 21 .

To CPR:

For years, Clinton's chickenshit Justice Dept. has allowed the likes of you to pollute the Internet with torrents of obscenities, which pass for thought among you and your ilk. Thank God, and none too soon, we will finally see action to protect poor innocent children who may stumble across a forum where you post.

Get a life, Shame. You resemble "Sister Taffy" or "Grandma" below.

Dear Sweetie,

The other day I went up to a local Christian bookstore and saw a, "Honk if you love Jesus" bumper sticker. I was feeling particularly sassy because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting, so I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper.

What an uplifting experience followed! I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord and how good He is, and I didn't notice the light had changed. Its a good thing someone else loves Jesus, because if he hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed.

While I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy, and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, "For the love of GOD! GO! GO! Jesus Christ, GO!" What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus!

Everyone started honking! I leaned out of my window and started waving and smiling at all these loving people. I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love!

There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a sunny beach. I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his finger stuck up in the air. I asked my teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant, and he said that it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something. Well, I've never met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign back. My grandson burst out laughing. He was enjoying this religious experience too!

A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me. I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed. So, I waved to all my sisters and brothers, and grinning, drove on through the intersection. I noticed I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again, and I felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had shared.

So I slowed the car down, leaned out of the window and gave them the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away.

Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!

Love,

Grandma

What has the link got to do with EXTREMIST ASHCROFT?

from the link. you should have kept reading:

The Y2K debunkers includes more people than who you saw at Biffy and TB2000, people such as Mitch Ratcliffe, Steve Hewitt, and Steve Davis. I don't think Charles or any of the rest of us have an delusions that we saved the world from an evil cabal of Y2K doomsayers. However, I do think that many of us had quite a bit of influence with Y2K project managers and business decision makers. This was much more important than influencing the general public's perceptions. Also, Ken, you seem to think that this whole thing was a tempest in a teapot and restricted to a few internet meeting places. This is far from the truth. For example, Christian radio stations all over the country were broadcasting Y2K doom messages. -- Buddy (buddydc@go.com), September 13, 2000.
