Taking the position the Bible states and having the balls to say that position aloud is homophobic nowadays. I didn’t realize Santorum was afraid of homosexuals, did you?
phobic: “afraid” The obverse being, phile. Santorum is saying he isn’t a homophile: He doesn’t favor, accept or endorse such things as buggery, `Sapphic love’, bestiality, necrophilia, etc., etc.
The left and its journo-organs oppose any expressions of opposition to libertine sexual matters. This is why Simpson is regularly trundled out and his plastic ring-string pulled. He’s a salty old Republican—from the other side. And he’s used to impeach a possible opposing front-runner’s credibility. The sad thing is, Simpson knows what he’s doing. He craves approval.
On a different (somewhat related) note, I was amused to see someone here state that they were surprised Drudge gave Santorum’s speech from years back his headline yesterday on this same topic, thinking, “This disproves the notion that Drudge is Romney supporter.” Incredible.
