Even though right wing states love porno, I could care less about their philosophical inconsistencies. I would love to debate their merits of banning pornography. Their hypocrisy on this issue fails to validate or invalidate their anti-porn arguments. I won't fall into the Right Wingers' trap of calling out their hypocrisy while a conservative anti-porn apologist maintains that simply one who watches porn while arguing for the banning of porn, does not disprove the arguments for banning porn. I would rather expose the deficiencies in their arguments rather than expose their hypocrisy!
