And so, amid the loud sounds of indignation and condemnation, there might well be some quieter, more thoughtful, expressions of gratitude to Senator Santorum, for having forced us all to confront an uncomfortable but important societal issue: the meaning of morality.

This is so easy - - - - read the Torah or the Old Testiment of the Christian Bible. Both say the same thing - - everything that SEN. Santorum railed against is an abomination in the eyes of GOD.

Does anyone remember the story of why the great flood, then the story of why Lot had to leave his home town of Sodom, then all the stories of the evil, amoral, and unjust kings and their eveil doings? It's all there you just have to read it to know the SEN. is 100% right and should be defended to the MAX.

The fact is that when you unmoor sexuality from it's ultimate purpose, reproduction, you end up with going nowhere, lost souls.

A part of the problem is that we don't respond to the heart of the issue. Individuals who engage in a behavior claim a protected identity and rights centered around that behavior and contrived identity. This is philosophically contrary to the basis of our constitutional freedoms. We are endowed with rights owing to OUR HUMANITY not a particular behavior. Individuals are free to identify themselves as they please, gay, homosexual, clown, pirate, cowboy, etc, however, our constitutional rights are established around our COMMON identity, i.e. HUMAN.

"Most Americans... believe that morality is important enough to legislate. While no law can actually prevent incest, for example, laws serve not only a practical purpose but an important educational one as well."

If the full force of the coercive state via morality laws is needed for "important educational" purposes to teach morality, then churches, mosques, and synagogues are abject failures at teaching morality.

I learned that incest was wrong and to avoid that type of behavior long before I knew it was illegal.

No law prohibiting murder is necessary for me not to kill a fellow citizen, unless in self-defense.

The point is, moral people do not need moral laws to act morally.

He's not going anywhere. This is yet another creepy Democrat attempt to 'unelect' somebody.

Oh well, I suppose I'll just have to vote for him again.

He's going places, and they want to launch a preemptive strike against his career.

I for one don't care to have my vote neutralized simply because some rabid left wingers demand it. Those days are coming to an end.

Sure, step down Senator Santorum. Step down when all the Democrats turn themselves in for treason.

For anyone who may have been in a wine-induced stupor over the entire week of Passover

Four cups will do that to you... well, four cups, two or three times a day...

But if said libertarian is truly true, he or she would have to accept incest - intimate relations between a brother and his sister, for example, or a father and his adult daughter - as well as polygamous and polyandrous (multi-husband) arrangements, and bestiality (which has its advocates, like Princeton Professor Peter Singer) no less than homosexual relations.

Haa!

So far I have seen no "civil libertarian" who would admit to this.

Show's over, folks. Move along. The Santorum beating was last week's event. Head on over to Sound Stage Four, where they're beating Bill Bennett.

Don't forget -- special Mystery Republican beating next week, you won't want to miss it. Come on back and find out who our panel of liberal reporters will name as "Republican in the Barrel" next.
