Expressions of Liberty

A commentary on the governmental respect for natural human rights as expressed by the founders of the United States and how it effects us today. I also show how the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution and other related documents are not dead documents in America today, but merely ignored and misused.

Name:
Location: Champaign, Illinois, United States

I am a classical liberal which is considered a type of conservative in these modern days. I am pro-right to life, pro-right to liberty, pro-parental rights, pro-right to property and a number of other natural human rights.

You Do Not Have The Right To Harm Americans Through Speech Or Press

Here is an interesting case of inmates at a prison who sued the State of Indiana over a ban of nude photos and other adult material. It is interesting because according to the Thirteen Amendment of the U.S. Constitution a person convicted of a crime can be made a slave who has no legal standing unless the state government gives them that standing. In fact the Fourteenth Amendment which the federal courts misinterpret to give them power over the states in this case make an exception for those convicted by the due process of law.

The ACLU which is a cultural liberal organization and a partner of the United Nations has taken up the case. They will most likely ignore those parts of the U.S. Constitution that contradict what they want to force on the American people and misinterpret the rest to forward the non official policies of the United Nations. That is what their Non Government Organization(NGO) agreement basically states though it does not mention the non official part but you can get that with examining the overwhelming conformity of the positions of the NGOs of the Department of Information of the United Nations. The American Bar Association who will more than likely be another though hidden player in this case is also an NGO for the DPI and has made the same agreement.

The issue is pornography and whether it is covered by the freedom of speech or freedom of press clause of the First Amendment. If the courts were being honest about the issue then the answer would depend on whether or not pornography cause harm to our society since no one has the right to cause harm to themselves of others. I have seen studies that have concluded it does cause harm and have heard other studies that have concluded it does not cause harm. I tent to favor the first view as pornography is a type of propaganda that is designed to sell libertine behavior and that is proven to be harmful to society. Even if the evidence is not conclusive there is enough evidence that such decisions should be left up to our republican form of government to legislate and not the unelected judicial branch as they violate the Constitution when they take up the legislative powers of the States or of Congress.

Source 1 is an article about the lawsuit I am speaking of.

Amen brother. Pornography can indeed harm society. If they can try to ban records and video games because of a person's reaction to it, why not porn? How many times have we heard a story about someone committing an act of violence, and getting off after blaming it on a movie or video game? What if a rapist pointed out Playboy as his inspiration? Keep preaching truth brother. Don't be a stranger.

Highboy,

Actually I don't believe there are many, if any, stories "about someone committing an act of violence, and getting off after blaming it on a movie or video game." There are plenty of instances where people try to use it as an excuse or defense, but overwhelmingly they are convicted if indeed they did commit the crime.
