Banned Books

Latest Polls (view all)

Under the cover of Covid, and now in the shadow of the infamous Election Irregularities of that fated 2020 presidential election, with current emerging alleged election fraud in Nevada and Pennsylvania inconveniently slipping into the public discourse, there is proved a colluded ongoing Election Interference in the nomination of the Republican candidate, the likes of which has never occurred in our Constitutional Republic's history, albeit, the question remains: Do you support the plain-sight Election Interference of the Democratic Socialist party, employing its minions in their Propagandistic Media, and their Two Tiered Justice System?

98.89% No, I do not support Election Interference; I am a patriot unto our Constitution.

1.11% Yes, I do support Election Interference; the alternative, Donald Trump, to this mentally diminished president is far worse.

0% "What, me worry" if elections are rigged?

"Jesus loves the little children."

Kiddie porn is the most heinous crime this side of pre-meditated murder for profit, probably worse.

All children before the Age of Consent, but in varying degrees as is their young ages, should be allowed to retain whatever innocence that they can enjoy. To defile that innocence is such an intolerable great sin, so terrible and so unforgivable.

I read so many books as a teenager, a lot of them, that may have been banned in some sectors - Vonnegut, Hesse, Castaneda, Gibran, Orwell. In essence, if it ain't porn, it shouldn't be banned.

Porn is not a confluence of ideas, it is not essential, it is not art. I pity the idiot that says it is.

The first step of the Brown Shirts as Hitler took over was to burn books and ban any opposition to their party.

In a FREE Nation the freedom to print and read anything you wish is essential. My joy as a citizen of this nation is to turn off FAUX News and not buy anything I don't want to --- or have a lurid copy of Playboy if I please!!! Old witch hunts by Joseph McArthur were a part of the 50's---but I hope we learned the same lesson we did from Prohibition = you can't legislate morality!

Now --- if I get arrested and they find kiddie porn all over my computer and I am a pervert. That's another thing which deserves control and punishment!!! NOT adult activities which are personal and free as long as nobody is harmed.
