The book 1984 has a lot to say on this. The thing is that
non-sexually repressed people tend to be more content, and more
content people are much harder to send off to war than non-content
people, for they are usually only willing to fight something that
directly affects them, rather than some abstract thing that supposedly
affects them in the mind of some politician (such as the "Domino
Theory" during Vietnam).

I was talking about Judeo-Christian stuff. It is most likely that
these two politicians who are against pr0n are Judeo-Christian in some
respect.
