Bill to Ban Playboy & Hustler on Military Bases

Facing IED's from foreign terrorists on a daily basis, our soldiers have had an IED placed under one of our most basic rights - the right to free speech. Fighting forces imposing the will of their religion and ideology through violence, our soldiers are fighting to defend freedom.

It is pretty sad that while our soldiers are fighting our War on Terror that they would be subjects of attack by forces here at home. I am not talking about the usual anti-war liberals or elected Democrat officials either.

Republican Congressman Paul Broun (Mullah Broun), the representative from Georgia's 10th District, along with several other hypocritical, hooter-hating elected officials are trying to ban the sale of Playboy & Hustler on military bases.

From Navy Times --

“Our troops should not see their honor sullied so that the moguls behind magazines like Playboy and Penthouse can profit,” said Rep. Paul Broun, R-Ga., unveiling his House bill April 16.

His Military Honor and Decency Act would amend a provision of the 1997 Defense Authorization Act that banned sales of “sexually explicit material” on military bases.

The new language would “close existing loopholes” in regulations to bring the military “into compliance with the intent of the 1997 law,” Broun said. More...

Honor sullied? Yes, I have to agree! The honor of every soldier that has ever served our country is sullied when the rights they are asked to defend are under attack by an elected official sworn to uphold them.

The RPG assault launched on keeping the eyes of our troops from burning out by taking a peek at some heavenly American hooters stems from a poor women standing in line when a soldier bought the latest edition of a a girlie magazine at the local PX.

The sale of material at army bases is reviewed by a board under the direction of the Department of Defense. Mullah Broun, in the same manner as the "Iranian Fashion Police," feels at a time of war and his upcoming reelection, "Sharia Law - American Style" should be imposed.

From Veterans Today --

Broun, who is 61, wants to take away the board's discretion by inserting into the old law some new language delineating terms like "sexually explicit." His bill gets (readers be warned) blush-inducingly specific. It defines nudity, for instance, as the display of "human genitals, pubic area, anus, anal cleft, or any part of the female breast below a horizontal line across the top of the areola."

Broun says the point is pornography shouldn't be subsidized by taxpayers. And he insists nudie magazines have taken a toll on the armed services. "Sexual assault is going up within the military, and I certainly think there's a very high likelihood the pornography being sold in military PXs is contributing to that," he says. More...

Revealing pics of Pam Anderson, Carmen Electra & other hot chicks taking a toll on our military? Please!!!

Had Mullah Broun said our troops were forced to look at nudie pics of Rosie, Oprah or Hillary - this would be understandable! Could it maybe be that since we have tied our soldiers hands by again using them to fight a war restricted by politics (Ala Vietnam), the recent acceptance of convicted felons (again - Ala Vietnam - the later years) and re-, re-, re, redeployment's that is taking a toll on our troops?

Anal cleft, anus & human genitals - he must be talking about the other tormented officials supporting this first step towards insisting women should wear burquas.

From USA Today --


Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, R-Md., who sponsored the law, says the military is skirting Congress' intent. He notes the material also could contribute to a hostile environment for female military personnel. "If soldiers want to read that stuff, they can walk down the street and buy it somewhere else," Bartlett says. "I don't want (the military) to help."

Nadine Strossen, a New York Law School professor who heads the American Civil Liberties Union, says the law effectively censors what troops get to read in remote areas or combat zones. "We're asking these people to risk their lives to defend our Constitution's principles … and they're being denied their own First Amendment rights to choose what they read," she said. More...

It is a sad day in this country when the enemies of America, the ACLU, are left to defend our soldiers!
