Santorum

Go ahead -- google it. You know you want to.

That aside, this one's been making the rounds, and I have a response for the former, booted out of office by his constituents because he's nuts senator. As quoted in the post:

Santorum countered that the Church's position is founded on more than 2,000 years of history. To adapt those beliefs based on the changing ways of society, he said, would be immoral.

So what? I'm not living 2,000 years ago. I'm living now. In a secular country where we don't use religious dogma as the law. So why should I care what Santorum's bible says? And I care even less what that raddled old pedophile-enabling bigot the pope says.

As for "immoral," Santorum seems to have the same rudimentary understanding of that word as his fellow-travelers in the anti-gay right. Have you noticed that none of them ever addresses the quality of a relationship as a measure of its morality? Nope -- it's all about plumbing, because your genitals, I guess, are the repository of your soul. Or something like that.

So maybe some talk-show host should ask Santorum about love, trust, respect, honesty, caring, sharing, empathy, affection, and commitment. Just on the off chance that he might have something to say. (Of course, if he's an idiot like Robert George, he's going to maintain that only opposite-sex couples can participate in that kind of relationship, because Teh Gay is just about sex. Just ask Peter LaBarbara.)
