Good post by Eric Loomis at LGM about Anthony Comstock. I mention it mostly because I want to use this graphic, but also because it is a pretty illustration of how far back in our history the culture wars go. Of course, they actually go all the way back-- the first Europeans to arrive here were world-historical prudes-- but I am struck by how well Comstock's views would fit into the Republican Party platform in 2012.
