Something about the forest and the trees
Jay links to this article in which Santorum says:
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.
Jay is right.
Naturally, the gay community is upset about the comments and wants him out ala Trent Lott (R-Whitey Town)
Of course, the comment that Santorum made that is more important than offending the gay community is this:
“All of those things are antithetical to a healthy, stable, traditional family,” Santorum said. “And that’s sort of where we are in today’s world, unfortunately. It all comes from, I would argue, this right to privacy that doesn’t exist, in my opinion, in the United States Constitution.” Emphasis added for those of you that need to be told that.
Our politicians don’t even understand our rights and that is more important than offending the gay community.
Update: Notice that the quote has the word gay in parenthesis. I guess his comments aren’t directed at gays but at sex in general.
