The American Family Association fights to deprive Red States of their Inalienable Right to Pornography. Yeehah!
by Liza Sabater
As a true believer of democracy, a liberal, a proressive, DARE I SAY A PROGRESSIVE LIBERTARIAN, are you ready to let the AFA stop Red State Americans from enjoying their inalienable right to pornography? Nope. I don't think so.
Check out this e-alert ---AFA - American Family Association - Activism | Ask Hollywood Video to reconsider offer by pornographer
Hollywood Video is considering an offer to sell its 2,000 stores to Movie Gallery, Inc. Movie Gallery is the nation's largest video rental chain that rents and sells hard-core sex videos.
Let Hollywood Video know that selling out to pornographers is not a good idea. Please read this press release, then send a letter to Hollywood Video.
Do you read something fishy?
You don't get it?
Let me highlight it for you :

The e-alert equates the purveying of pornography with making it. Now you are a pornographer, not by what you produce with a video camera and the body slamming of two willingly horny adults. Nope. Now you are a pornographer if you use your constitutional right to offer jerk-off enablers to your limp yet cash happy customers.
Ironic that the AFA is complaining about Movie Gallery Inc. business move given the company's Alabama bluegrass roots.
Movie Gallery was formed in 1985 by Joe Malugen and Harrison Parrish in Dothan, Alabama. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, M.G.A., Inc., the Company's founders began operating video specialty stores in southern Alabama and the Florida panhandle, and franchising the Movie Gallery store concept. By June 1987 the Company owned five stores and had a franchise operation of 45 stores. In 1988, the Company began to consolidate the franchisees into Company owned stores. By 1992, The Company had a total of 37 stores and annual revenues of $6 million.
[...]
Today Movie Gallery is the second largest video specialty retailer in the United States with over 2000 stores, and is the proud employer of over 16,000 associates. Given the quality of our associates and the loyalty of our customers, the future is very bright for Movie Gallery. Every day we get closer to making our mission statement a reality:
"We will be the dominant entertainment source for video and video game rental and sale in rural and secondary markets in the United States."
Since I am so fascinated by these dominionist loonies, I have taken a cue from that most unholy of Christian warriors, Jesus' General and become a member of the American Family Association. You want to learn how these people speak their hate and hunger for power? You should join their mailing lists too.
