Republican Congressman wants to protect the troops...from pornography...

What a misguided dog shit idea this is:

"Pro-family" organizations and members of Congress are continuing the push to limit the range of reading materials available to members of the military.

House Rep. Paul Broun (GA-10), with 15 co-sponsors and the support of organizations such as the Alliance Defense Fund and the American Family Association, recently introduced a bill that would strengthen the ban on sales of adult-themed publications on U.S. military installations.

Honestly, is there anyone in the world who deserves the right to run the occasional batch more than the American soldier???

Multiple, extended tours...Two wars in the Middle East going poorly...A lack of equipment and body armor to protect them...and, GASP!,the horror of being exposed to naked breasts in a Playboy magazine!!!

The horror...the horror...

Steve Benen from The Carpetbagger Report puts it best:

Here’s a radical idea: maybe those who wear the uniform and put their lives on the line for their country should be able to read whatever they want.
