Mr. Bush is exactly what the Religious Right has hoped for for
decades: battle lines.  They want to force Americans into choosing
sides by framing all policy around this question:

"Do you want a country where your children are exposed to grapic sex
and language on your TV?  On Billboards?  In magazine ads?  On the
radio?  Which side are you on?  The side of the sicko sex freaks or
the side of decent church going folk?"

In this way they co-opt the nation and force a reactionary agenda
based on a moral ultimatum.

It then becomes very hard for someone to fight on the side of porn. 
Look at what's happened to the Gay Marriage debate.  It's gone from a
debate about human rights to a debate about "what's next?"

You'll hear this all of the time, "What's next, a man marrying his
dog?  A father marrying his daughter?"  It's the ole slippery slope
debate.
