When the left doesn’t like what you have to say they call you a bigot, or a racist or something like that. They think it shuts off the debate and I suppose it used to. It is losing it’s punch tho. It probably makes them mad that many of us don’t care what they call us anymore.

his is the kind of reasoned, principled response which must be made to the politically-correct censors of the so-called "progressive" movement.

Fine, but don't think they will ever care about or even hear your response. they consider their mission accomplished simply by lobbing in the charge. They know most people will hear the charge but not bother to attend to the response, much less think about what they are hearing.

Sodomy and Christianity are not compatible, despite what Mr. Morgan asserts.

just wondered why even a wimp like Santorum would just sit there and be insulted by a slimy slug like Morgan Because he's a wimp? Just asking.

I don’t know why the liberals have chosen to call themselves progressives when they’re really re-gressives. They’ve taken this country way back past the Viet Nam era of a divided country on race and moral issues...all the way back to Sodom and Gamorah with their depravity and almost all the way back to the 1860’s with their race-baiting and hatred.

Santorum should have asked Morgan if Morgan’s views bordered on hypocrisy since we are told in both the Old and New Testament that homosexuality is an abomination.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor [a]effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.
Footnotes:

1 Corinthians 6:9 I.e. effeminate by perversion

1 Corinthians 6:9-10

Darby Translation (DARBY)

9Do ye not know that unrighteous [persons] shall not inherit [the] kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who make women of themselves, nor who abuse themselves with men,

10nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor abusive persons, nor [the] rapacious, shall inherit [the] kingdom of God.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10

New International Version (NIV)

9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men[a] 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

Footnotes:

1 Corinthians 6:9 The words men who have sex with men translate two Greek words that refer to the passive and active participants in homosexual acts.

Morgan probably belongs to the 52% of the Catholic voters who voted for Bambi. What else is new?

Will Republicans never learn to recognize typical retarded liberal PervoBigots, and NOT go on their freak shows, or even their lying scum networks?

Still think it was a good idea, Santorum?

Shall O wait until you stop itching?

...Those fleas must be a real nuisance.

“I guess one of the reasons it’s troubling and difficult for people to come out [as gay] is because of the level of bigotry that’s out there against them. I have to say that your views you espoused on this issue are bordering on bigotry, aren’t they?” Morgan asked the candidate.

Morgan is a heretic because he believes something contrary to Catholic teaching, Christian teaching based on natural law. Male/female genitalia are made for union; male/male and female/female are not made for union. Male/male and female/female union are achieved only by perverted means contrary to natural law that adds risk to both mental and physical health. Plus it exposes the population to additional risks to both mental and physical health.

Why Morgan does not understand this we do not know. He must have a disordered mind. His name calling falls in line with the Democrat playbook, I might add.

I saw the interview. I was so impressed with Santorm and the dignity and grace he exhibited during Morgan’s rude questioning. Santorum is a smart guy and way underrated in my opinion. I would love a Perry/Santorum ticket.

Piers, let’s make this simple:

Sinners - loved by God, but will be punished
Sin - Despised by God

This is America-

Where Ellen DeGeneres gives advice on raising children and Oprah advises us on economics and foreign policy.

_____ (fill in the blank) help us. I don't want to show my bigotry in the use of language.

That would be the one. Here in Britain, his nickname is Piers Moron. I recall a few years ago that Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson punched Moron in the face at a media party...

Isn’t Obama’s official position the same as Santorum’s?

I, too like Santorum, though not for the top of the ticket. Despite his last political loss in PA, to the invisible dem hack Casey, he might help swing PA to Republican this election. Helping to carry a big swing state with someone that appeals to the base is pretty much the definition of a VP.

big·ot·ry; noun, plural -ries.
1. stubborn and complete intolerance of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one’s own.
2. the actions, beliefs, prejudices, etc., of a bigot.

People misuse this word a lot. They confuse it with prejudice.

Santorum may indeed be a bigot, but if so, so is Morgan.

I’m expecting a high-level position for Santorum in the Palin Administration - maybe HHS Secretary.

First Christine O’Donnell and now Rick Santorum on gay marriage. Is Piers Morgan a one-issue interviewer? Is that really what he wants to be known for?
