Just like the existence of the liberal elite.

Nonetheless....we have to something about the "shares our values" question.

But just for fun Freddy Vs Jason? ummm Dude where's my car? "desperate Housewives" Any of 10 reality shows about hooking up with the opposite sex or even the same sex. I am far from a puritan, and honestly don't really care about that stuff one way or the other... still at least in religious circles its a rallying point.

And to the extent that we don't complain about gratuitous sex and wanton violence...the GOP paints us as to attached to Hollywood. The issue is not censorship....its about sharing the value that there ought to be restraint on the part of the media.

The issue if we ever care to capture it is simply about protecting Children. But we do not engage on that level. We neither endorse the crap that is out there as a free speech issue or we ignore it when the religious crowds pitches it occasional fit.

We simply do not engage in a discussion on the issue in ways that are constructive or attractive to many many Americans. We give the entire playing field to the GOP and while they do not do crap about it....there is a sense that they are on the side of "less is better"
