Hey mods can we change the thread title to "Rick Santorum says the darndest things"? sorta a catch-all Rick Santorum thread? Cause I've got some doozies.
But this...yeah this is just stupid. He's obviously a bigot and a racist and the fact that he has to backtrack all the time is disgusting. But on to more disgusting things from ol' forthy.
We'll start off with a very nice expose on his views on how much government should keep out of the bedroom. Just kidding.
Rick Santorum denies he linked homosexual sex to "man on dog" sexOf course he totally did and here's his own words thrown in his face.
We have laws in states, like the one at the Supreme Court right now, that has sodomy laws and they were there for a purpose. Because, again, I would argue, they undermine the basic tenets of our society and the family. And if the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual 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. Does that undermine the fabric of our society? I would argue yes, it does. It all comes from, I would argue, this right to privacy that doesn't exist in my opinion in the United States Constitution, this right that was created, it was created in Griswold -- Griswold was the contraceptive case -- and abortion. And now we're just extending it out. And the further you extend it out, the more you -- this freedom actually intervenes and affects the family. You say, well, it's my individual freedom. Yes, but it destroys the basic unit of our society because it condones behavior that's antithetical to strong healthy families. Whether it's polygamy, whether it's adultery, where it's sodomy, all of those things, are antithetical to a healthy, stable, traditional family.
Every society in the history of man has upheld the institution of marriage as a bond between a man and a woman. Why? Because society is based on one thing: that society is based on the future of the society. And that's what? Children. Monogamous relationships. In every society, the definition of marriage has not ever to my knowledge included homosexuality. That's not to pick on homosexuality. It's not, you know, man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be. It is one thing. And when you destroy that you have a dramatic impact on the quality--
Amazing isn't it? He's got an amazing track record for denying what he himself said because it's not politically viable. Here's a though Rick...STOP SAYING STUPID SHIT! But on to more stuff.
I just love his views on Judicial independence. In fact, he's even got a plan about how to deal with judges who piss off conservatives.
Send them to GuamSure you don't want to send them to Gitmo there Ricky? Because it sounds to me that's what you want to do. Oh and just because the Judaical branch is listed in Article III in the Constitution doesn't mean it's third place in and the least powerful of the branches of Government. But then again, you barely understand anything about government now do you?
Ironbite-really wish we lived in a world where this man didn't have a political future.
