Members JKane Posted March 20, 2012 Members Posted March 20, 2012 I think someone should remind Pope Rick that yes, a previous AG {and fundamentalist Christian loon and mind bendingly awful singer} under George W. Bush did, in fact, decide to wage a War on Porn™ as Pope Rick points out. And that man was John Ashcroft. Who, you all may or may not recall {clearly Pope Rick does not recall}, got a request from the FBI early in the Bush administration for additional counter-terrorism funding. Ashcroft not only refused the request for the funding, but in order to fund his War on Porn™ that Pope Rick apparently wants to emulate in his administration, Ashcroft instead actually cut $58 million from the Fibbies budget. And what was the date that Ashcroft ordered that $58 million counter-terrorism budget cut? September 10, 2001. And we all know how choosing the War on Porn™ as a priority for an administration to focus on over counter-terrorism worked out for all of us. Scott manages to put into words exactly what I'm thinking, as usual. Quote
