...or maybe, this is some serious level thinking....

"How can we make our troops even more aggressive? I know, we never let them 'release the mayo.' People will think it's just a silly Family Values ploy and support me; really it's just to increase troop aggressiveness in combat. It's so crazy it just-might-work...."

Or something even better, we can tell them they will get to have sex in heaven with 32 virgins for killing and sacrificing their lives for the state. - oh wait - somebody is already using that one....

Oh, and if you think that's scary, check this out:
The Use of RFID for Human Identification
http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/p...rfid_draft.pdf

The Draft disfavors the use of it, but, still. I'm not playing out to "conspiracy theories" or anything, but, the fact this was being suggested is still a bit on the scary side.

Also, you probably assume that the proper procedure for reporting Internet obscenity (including suspected child porn) is to submit this directly to the DoJ. However, that is not the case. Rather, the DoJ instructs people to visit the Morality in Media site to submit complaints! The MiM site is one of those crazy FoF-type sites, complete with numerous warnings of the addictive potential of porn. This government-endorsed site loudly opposes all porn, regardless of legality. My favorite quote:

We strongly advise against citizens searching the Internet for obscene websites to report. Men are particularly vulnerable to pornographic addiction with its highly destructive consequences. Pornographic addiction is an issue for women as well. It is the job of law enforcement agents to police the Internet.

DoJ has chosen to legitimize them by giving them this responsibility. One can imagine DoJ giving Focus on the Family responsibility for reporting on UIGEA violations.

That quote isn't hidden on some never-visited page on the site. Rather, this is bolded on the page to make the report. So, if one wishes to report child porn to the DoJ, one must read this MiM's claim about the addictive nature of all porn, legal and illegal.

I've never met one. Where can I find a woman addicted to porn?

Also, James Dobson from FoF wants to get into the Radio Hall of Fame. He actually sent out an email asking for votes! How sad is that?

Anyway, the ballot is at https://eballot3.votenet.com/nrhof/register. He's running against Howard Stern. You can probably guess for whom I cast my ballot.

Anybody who supports this fascist crap should be treated the way a Soviet soldier would have treated a Nazi soldier on a WW2 battlefront.
