Republicans to be Lauded for Addressing Pornography

   I will echo the Deseret News tonight, as its editorial lauds the Republican Party for placing a plank opposing pornography in its national platform.
   It is a bold thing, even as the newspaper suggests. I consider the ridicule Utah received when it declared pornography a health hazard. To think that the Republicans would adopt the plank, in face of the heat they will take, is putting principle before popularity.
  The Deseret News points out that many will suggest the Republicans should be pursuing more important issues.
   "And that is indeed part of the problem," says the editorial. "The nation as a whole is out of touch with the enormous harm pornography is doing."
   I laud the Republicans for placing an anti-porn plank in their platform. If  politics are to make America a better place, they must address the problems that are making it a badder place. If we do not address pornography, we will limit how great we can become.
