Senator Santorum blasts gay rights
UPDATE: Andrew Sullivan responds to Santorum's comments at Salon (premium). Posted on Tue, Apr 22, 2003 at 1:13 PM
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 - Posted by: John Gadd on April 24, 2003 09:25 AM 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. Posted by: Robert & Mary Meyer on April 25, 2003 12:58 AM 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 Posted by: Tara on April 26, 2003 03:59 PM 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. Posted by: GLEN on April 27, 2003 04:15 PM 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. Posted by: Olivia Roberts on April 28, 2003 08:15 PM 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. George W. Bush 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20500 (877) 200-4899 John and Linda Poindexter 10 Barrington Fare Rockville, MD 20850 (301) 424-6613 Attorney General John Ashcroft 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, D. C. 20530 Office of Public Affairs (202) 616 - 2777 The Honorable (insert senators name) United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 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.
