There are plenty on the far left who disagree with pornography for leftist reasons. See the above.

well, just because they are leftist doesn't mean they lack conservative morals. the people you're referring to don't like porn. Morality didn't get the memo about partisan baloney.

More evidence that neither party really believes in letting people live their own lives, they both want to control everyone's life, the only difference is in what/how they want to control.

If it's a legal activity, the government should stay the heck out of it.

damn skippy :beer:

If this is indeed happening, I'd like to know what legislation the DOJ is thinking gives them the authority to do these things or are they just making shit up as they go along. I'm curious this has not been picked up more by the lame stream media.

It wouldn't make me teary eyed if they drove the loan shar... I mean payday loan industry out of business but everyone diserves due process and equal treatment under the law.
I really do wonder about Holder sometimes. I really don't understand where is is coming from.

The legislation behind FDIC gives them to do basically anything they want.

What part don't you understand. They are opposed to porn not because of conservative morals, but because of liberal morals.

Or are you trying to argue that morals are inherently conservative?

Let me guess, more war on drugs BS extended into violating yet more 4th ammendment rights.

I'm not sure how the 2 situations could even be comparable.

There would seem to be a significant difference between going after banks holding accounts of people engaged in illegal activity and going after banks holding accounts of people engaged in legal activity you just happen dislike.

Wow, just wow. Morals don't care what party you're associated with. There are conservatives and liberals that do hold similar moral beliefs.

My arguement is that partisan followers choose not to see this.

Morals that are considered "conservative morals" are like that because it's more likely to see them in conservatives. It doesn't exclude everyone one else, and vice versa.

And liberals are not opposed to prostitution because its a "vice". But because its is exploitative of women.

You've spoken with every liberal that's not opposed to prostitution?

Are you equating porn with prostitution?

I would think there are both conservatives and liberls that feel that way about prostitution.

Great! They can pay me in cash now. Bonus that I won't need to pay taxes ever again.

Ummm...... Except you ignore the fact that prostitution has become and remained exploitative toward women because it is kept illegal in the first and thus remains in the hands of exploitation criminals in the US. Where and when women (and men) have been able to circumvent or overthrow any exploitation is when technology has nullified the middle-man (pimp or madam) via the internet. Furthermore in the end prostitution as a service between two consenting adults is no different then any other service oriented job provide by a private contractor in society except that people in this country place moral taboos around it because....***OH THE HORROR !!*** it involves sex and thus it allows for exploitation because government and society push these people into corners of society controlled by the criminal element.

Most professional high priced prostitutes in places like Nevada pay federal taxes. Those that work out of Nevada do so because of the no state income tax benefit in that state.
