In an interview with the Associated Press last month Santorum said, "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."

No, he did not say that. That's what the AP published. They inserted the "(gay)" which Sen. Santorum never said.

However, why should anyone mind connecting gay sex with bigamy, polygamy, incest, or adultery? They are on par - either they are all immoral or none are.

Shalom.

Unfortunately when you slip up like Santorum people no longer see you as really wanting to help conservatism or else you would do what you could to stay in power

Even if you have to become a liberal?

Sort of "The end justifies the means."

Shalom.

Because associating homosexuality with such behaviors undermines their agenda.

Exactly, once you leave the realm of the traditional man/woman relationship that was created for the sole purpose of procreation, not for fun as pleasurable as it may be, moral relativity makes all “consensual” sexual behaviors equal and no better than one or the other.

What is astounding to me is that 58% find homosexuality morally wrong and only 27% acceptable. Haven’t we been told that that opinion is in the minority and behind the times? I don’t think Gallup, Zogby et al asks this question because they don’t want to be seen as politically incorrect or they know what the result would be and like the NYT not want that opinion made known. Pennsylvania sample noted but the rest of the country can’t be that far off since it’s a blue state.

More importantly, I know of know religion that sees adultery, bigamy, polygamy, and incest as immoral that doesn't also see homoerotic behavior as immoral. If you reject Christian morality, try Jewish - nope. Try Islamic - nope. Try - well you get the picture.

Shalom.

Plenty of people can speak up. Hopefully they will so the politicians don't have to. If you want to be a politician, you have to know when to keep your mouth shut.

Agreed but I still can’t get over why the media hasn’t latched onto this monumental discovery that more than half the population believes homosexuality is immoral. That should be big news on CBS, NBC, ABC…because they’ve reported the opposite in many different ways, Rosie interview, shapes and forms for the last decade. It’s pure hypocrisy!

Only if you don't believe in G-d.

You have to hear from G-d, of course, to know when to engage the battle. But G-d does call His leaders to engage. He even calles them to fail. Read Jerimiah.

Shalom.

Oh, well that's obvious. Two reasons: 1) the media has known that all along, feels it's wrong, and is trying to correct the backwards, uneducated American public that homosexuality really is not immoral. They aren't so much reporting as advocating. 2) they can get their newsrooms trashed and big advertising $$ pulled if they tell the truth.

Shalom.

Somehow I think that this headline was someone's idea of a joke.
