“Current laws on all forms of pornography and obscenity need to be vigorously enforced,” decrees the 2012 Republican Party Platform in a section entitled “Renewing American Values.” That plank also urges the implementation of unspecified measures “to ensure that the Internet cannot become a safe haven for predators….”

The apparatchiks who drafted the platform apparently gave little — if any — thought to the matter of reconciling a national “war on porn” with the platform’s pious invocation of federalism and the Tenth Amendment. It’s also notable that the section dealing with threats to privacy alluded to the proliferation of surveillance drones while omitting mention of the Regime’s use of porno-scanners in airports.

According to the platform, the Republican Party was “born in opposition to the denial of liberty” and that it “stands for the rights of individuals, families, faith communities, institutions — and of the States which are their instruments of self-government.” This proud boast is a reeking pile of used food. The Republican Party was created by a cabal that sought to centralize political control over the states in the service of an economic vision now known as corporatism or corporate socialism. Like the people who founded that party, the first Republican president was perfectly willing to countenance the continuation of slavery — to the point of supporting a proposed constitutional amendment that would have made it permanent — in order to preserve and expand a system of taxation that would benefit its allies in the plundering class.
