Santorum pledges to 'vigorously' crack down on Internet porn Rick "Frothy" Santorum, the unapologetic social conservative, currently in second place behind Mitt Romney for the GOP nomination, has promised to crack down on the distribution of pornography if elected.
Santorum says in a statement (http://www.ricksantorum.com/enforcing-laws-against-illegal-pornography) posted to his website, "The Obama Administration has turned a blind eye to those who wish to preserve our culture from the scourge of pornography and has refused to enforce obscenity laws."
If elected, he promises to "vigorously" enforce laws that "prohibit distribution of hardcore (obscene) pornography on the Internet, on cable/satellite TV, on hotel/motel TV, in retail shops and through the mail or by common carrier."

Santorum's administration could take American-based porn distributors to court for violating obscenity laws, said Volokh, and have them shuttered. But that would leave foreign-based sites untouched.
To black out foreign sites, Santorum would likely need legislative action requiring Internet service providers to use "a mandatory filter set up by the government or by the service providers," said Volokh.

Right on, baby! Because we all know that this is the REAL problem facing America. It's not that we're fighting 3 wars or that gas is $4 a gallon or that 50% of the country has no healthcare or that nearly 50 million people are living below the poverty line... the REAL problem facing America is
internet porn. And Rick Santorum can save us from teh evil porn! All he needs is the
power to censor the entire internet and prosecute people who view porn in the privacy of their own homes. Is that too much to ask??
