These Defenders of the Porn are just as bad as the right-wing Tea Baggers. Even something that rational people on both sides of the argument can agree with, image filtering, they have to stubbornly argue against it like it's going to ruin everything. How does an image filter prevent someone from getting access to their god-given right to all kinds of porn? Congratulations uncompromising porn defenders, you think just like the Tea Party!

Bingo! Hell fire and brimstone fundamentalist preachers in heat, thumping their chests in self-righteous over the sanctity of anti-censorship, and every six year old's god given right to study images of autofellatio.
