If you believe too much masturbation or too much fucking or just too much obsession with sex will by itself damn a soul, I think you’ll find that’s a minority view even among professed Christians nowadays.

“I naively believed that the president would not ask Congress and the people to go to war without knowing for certain that doing so is absolutely necessary for the safety of the nation. I was wrong. As president, I would never go to war without absolute certainty in its necessity. I would never lie to the people or cherry-pick evidence. When at war, I would manage competently and not be blinded by groupthink, ideology, or a smirking certainty in the inevitability of my victory.”

So basically what you’re trying to say Mrs. Clinton is that your judgment, awareness of other Western powers/media, and knowledge of the ME is at a fifth grade level. This continues to this day with your constant saber rattling with Iran over phantom nuclear weapons and an ignorance of other basic facts (like, for example, the fact that the president of Iran is a figurehead position). Why should anyone sane vote for you?

“Because I’m sophisticated and rational and damned near a pacifist compared to [Giuliani/Romney/McCain].”
How do you figure? She plays up Iran as a boogeyman with the best of the right.
The Nixon administration did a very expensive study on pornography. They were absolutely sure what the results would be.,harmful and dangerous to the people. When it came out the wrong way they suppressed it. The facts were wrong and needed to be changed.
Reagan repeated it a few years later.

2.) Illegal alliens. (Was at a large super-market the other night and probably of all the many hundreds of people there, a good 95% were illegals.)

And what is your position here? You never really mentioned your opinion or a solution if you believe a problem exists.
Where in your bible or scroll or other sacred text does it state “Viewing pornography will send you straight to hell”?
After reading the OP’s list, I think better funding for education should be in there somewhere, if not #1.

6. Pornography. (Get rid of it. I say that as one whose been addicted to it for years, and trust me – IT’S EVIL! Actually, THIS should be listed at #1.)

How are you going to get around that pesky First Amendment?

It would not require breaking any new ground. Up to the '70s practically every state had restrictive anti-porn laws which, in most cases, were constitutional according to the SCOTUS. (There’s a large body of case law on the subject, some of which is considered porn in its own right.)
