elfsApparently, the war on terrorism and the war on drugs are not enough. John Ashcroft has announced that "the war on obscenity" has now become a high priority, and the opening shot is an indictment (he called it a "sting"; how can you sting something widely available in retail outlets?) of Extreme Associates.
Feel safer now?
Ashcroft has also issued a notice to federal prosecutors to report on lenient judges. Apparently, Ashcroft doesn't trust the field prosecutors in this respect and wants Washinton to make the call when it comes to appealing sentences.
"We're going to put our right hand to our heart. Now put it to your heart because you want to say this with lots of love to the flag." So directed the first teacher in the state to enforce the states new loyalty oath law, which requires students to pronounce the pledge at the beginning of every day. Never mind that religious oaths are anathema to the U.S. Constitution.
"It's just thirty seconds every day," said a spokesperson for the Colorado school system. "We won't penalize students who don't do it. We hope it won't become a big deal."
Virginia's Housing and Development Authority is apparently the last HDA in the nation to have a requirement that when more than one person is applying for housing assistance that those people be related by blood, marriage, adoption, or custiodianship. This crumbling of tradition now permits gay couples with children to apply for assistance. Needless to say, this has conservatives rather upset
The Supreme Council for Sharia in Nigeria has accused UNICEF of trying to destroy the Muslim population there by sneaking "anti-fertility substances" into the polio vaccine distributed there. Nigeria is one of the last three nations on Earth where wild polio continues to be a serious threat to the health of children under five.
Y'know how we're all up in arms about "faith based initiatives" providing money for churches and religiously-based social services? Apparently, it's okay if Jehovah's followers get money from the government, but not Quetzalcoatl's. It seems WorldNet is up in arms about an AIDS memorial that depicts the Inca god and decries this lack of separation of church and state.

9/11 delayed Ashcroft's crusade
Date: 2003-08-09 07:07 am (UTC)It was reported within a month or two of 9/11 that Ashcroft had a major push against the world of adult entertainment planned and ready to go, but the War on Terrorism delayed it. Now, it seems, we're safe enough physically that the Department of Justice can begin their crusade to protect our minds...
