Bush's War on Sex

Jut a few posts ago (here) I wrote that a prime winger target for elimination was American sexual behavior...and wouldn't you know, here's something about that very thing:
"Not since Ronald Reagan'’s attorney general, Edwin Meese, made a crusade against pornography a top priority has there been such a broad-scale attempt to destroy First Amendment protections for sexual expression and sexual privacy as the one currently being mounted by the Bush administration and congressional Republicans.

And just in time to make it an issue in the 2006 election cycle, the U.S. Senate will take up early in the new year a House-passed bill that, disguised as anti-child pornography legislation, poses a serious threat to both Hollywood and to millions of American Internet users. The legislation is called the Children's Safety Act of 2005. Already passed by the House, it has now been introduced by the Senate Judiciary Committee's ranking Republican, Orin Hatch, the Utah Republican, and fast-tracked for speedy passage.

Current law requires that producers of material containing actual sexual conduct keep documentation known as 2257 records after the section of federal statute governing them —of the names and proof of age of all actors shown in video and online material they distribute. But the House-Hatch bill would expand those requirements to include “simulated sexual conduct; any tiny error or omission in keeping these 2257 records —which must be available to federal government inspectors upon demand according to the law —could result in stiff fines and two years imprisonment."
I'm just asking--wingers--why the hell do you care what I watch?
