Senator Santorum blasts gay rights
Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, chairman of the Republican conference in the Senate, told an interviewer this week: "If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual [gay] sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything." Gay rights groups are angry. Santorum's spokesperson started the weaselword asscovering process by insisting that those comments should be taken "only in the context related specifically to the right to privacy in the Supreme Court case" and that Santorum "has no problem with gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender individuals." I can't wait for the heartful interview on Gay Entertainment Television.
UPDATE: Andrew Sullivan responds to Santorum's comments at Salon (premium).
The days of prejudice in this country ended with Brown vs the Board - you are a throwback to a Neanderthall in your thinking - this is a diverse country and all citizens have rights - you self annointed bigots and gay bashers probably have some members of the own family still in the closet they are just afraid to come out - you are hardly a representative of the "people" - just the people you like - time to step down and realize that you and all homophobics are a sick and sorry lot. Shame on you -
Senator Santorum, it is an honor to have someone like yourself representing those of us in this country who support your views on homosexuality and gay rights. Don't worry that the gay rights people are angry. There are many of us out here who are thankful that our opposing voices are being heard. Keep up the good work.
It's nauseating to even fathom that there are people out there with the same views as Sen. Santorum and are even publicly defending him! As a member of the United States military, I have seen many gay men and women come through that fight and serve with as much conviction and dedication as anyone else. For him or anyone else to lump those fine men and women that are defending our freedom together with pedofiles and bigamists is an outrage. I think each and every one of you self-righteous bigots should take a step back and take a reality check...they are out there and they aren't going away. Educate yourself and pull yer heads out of yer asses
I am insulted as a man of color with the comparison that some make between civil rights for blacks and the right to practice a homosexual life style. I was born with my particular features that represent me as a minority in this nation. White homosexual male in this nation already enjoy the elite status given to them just by the color of their skin. Yet they want more rights to not only get the better jobs, acceptance to the better schools, and live in the better neighborhoods but to also be accepted for their sinful lifestyle. I think not.
Senator Santorum made those comments in an interview when asked specifically about PRIVACY LAWS. In relation to privacy laws, and according to the constitution, the Senator was right in stating that if sodomy is allowed, then so are the other acts mentioned. Also, it is apparently not common knowledge that the interviewer is the wife of John Kerry, current Democratic presidential candidate. I don't want to assume that there is bias involved in how his comments were portrayed, but it is a possibility. Senator Santorum is a good man.
Tired of our Gov't morons? Get even?
It worked for the Spam King, so why not do the same to the morons
who now want to control our lives?
Send them junk mail! And lots of it!
Got a postal mail address on someone? There are thousands of sites
willing to send free samples, bibles, pamphlets, sales catalogs, so
load up a proxy, fill out a form and send that governmental moron a
message from the people. Do you get packets of coupons? Wear
gloves and fill out a few in the name of your favorite governmental
person who has done so much to screw over the American way of
life. Have a way to add someone to a telemarketer list? Do it.
Here are a few addresses and phone numbers to start off with.

But don’t stop there. SHARE, SHARE, SHARE! Got Bush’s private
Crawford address? Post it. And don’t stop with the top dogs, is
there a DA in your area stomping on human rights? Is your state rep,
mayor, state judge, or any other governmental person been doing some
shady backroom deals? Are you paying for it? Oh, wait, if you are
paying taxes, then I suppose you are! Post those address too. The
more the merrier and hopefully with enough anonymous speech by the
people, they might wake up and realize WE are not very happy and WE
can make their lives as much hell as they are making ours.
If you are going to waste my tax dollars, at least I get a say
in how they uselessly get spent,
Power to the People.
