Hi, Jo, I guess I was awriting, when you were posting, because I just now saw both your messages. I don't know if these are old conservatives or not. My sense is it is generally Republicans (US) and conservatves in general, although as John pointed out, there are liberals who would have censorship, too.

The one who proposed the committee is Senator Sam Brownback, R-Kan. His resolution is Resolution 172.

Chas. included another disturbing quote in his article: david Lowentahl, professor emeritus of political science at Boston College, claiming that Hollywood is spewing out too much sex and violence, said, in The Weekly Standard, "Government, and government alone, has a chance of blocking this descent into decadence. The choice is clear, either rigorous censorship of the mass media -- or an accelerating descent into barbarism and the destruction, sooner or later, of free society itself."

rigorous censorship of the mass media.....is this America or China or the old USSR????

I don't care what stripes they may hide behind, this is what we have to unite and fight against!
