Two Men Disrupt Santorum Rally, Kiss As They Are Thrown Out
Wester Chester Patch ^ | 3/17/2012 | Savannah Ziegelbauer

Posted on 03/17/2012 7:45:06 PM PDT by Kazan

Two men who kissed one another were kicked out of presidential candidate Rick Santorum’s rally Friday evening at Christian Liberty Academy in Arlington Heights, Illinois.

Santorum was 15 minutes into his speech when the two men shouted and got the attention of the crowd. They exchanged a kiss, prompting guards to eject them and the crowd to chant “U-S-A” while they were leaving the gym.

When asked whether the kiss was a public display of affection or merely a symbolic act, Timothy Tross of Lombard and Ben Clifford of Algonquin, declined to comment.

“I don’t think the message should be about what my sexuality is,” Tross said. “It’s the message that he’s saying about sexuality that matters.”

About 50 protesters lined the street before the rally with signs that read “LGBT No H8,” “Catholics Against Santorum” and “If I incorporate myself, would you treat me like a person?” LGBT activist Matt Muchowski, who created the Facebook group “Carmel Catholic Alumni Against Rick Santorum,” planned the protest.

Santorum spent his senior year at Carmel Catholic High School in Mundelein and graduated in 1976.

“We feel it is important to counter Santorum’s anti-gay hate, to set an example to students,” Muchowski said. “Rick sends a message of bullying, but we want high school students to know that other alumni send a message of equality.”

The crowd of protesters, which was described as "mild" by police, was mostly in support of Obama, although there were a couple of Ron Paul fans in the mix. And while some were Carmel alumni, others were there because they heard about it in the news.

Santorum's lllinois campaign director, Jon Zahm, estimated 2,100 people were in attendance at the rally—most being strong supporters.

I guess chanting USA, USA now will be considered homophobic!

I wonder how these two would have been received at a Romney rally.

Seeing as Romney’s top campaign leadership in Illinois is a homosexual, why they probably would say “you guys registered to vote”? :-)

This is a sign of the wicked times. Evil is in the air. What a bunch of degenerates.

This is what The Saboteur at1600 means when he constantly compares himself to Lincoln.

He’s trying to position himself as the “emancipator” not of babies who he advocates barbarically mudering by the millions (the right to do so depends of course on the principle that a human being DOES have the right to OWN another human) - but rather in this sicked and depraved generation he seeks to “emancipate” the poor deprived sodomite.

Sounds like someone is trying to open a second front...
We've already got the "war on women" and now this.

And the rewriting of history already gets underway. By dawn, the two guys who were thrown out for disrupting the speech will have become “two guys who were thrown out for kissing”.

Our rights come from God, not from government. Since gay rights do not come from God, they are not a right.

The third-century Roman jurist, Modestinus, captured the common understanding of marriage with the following definition: “Marriage is the union of a man and a woman, a consortium for the whole of life involving the communication of divine and human rights.” This union and these rights exist, not merely for their own sake, but also and especially for the sake of the inter-generational concerns of progeny and property; with a view, that is, to the conditions necessary for the founding and flourishing of the family. The rights involved are divine as well as human because marriage is generative, and hence pre- as well as pro-political; because what is founded through marriage is, in the twentieth-century language of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, “the natural and fundamental group unit of society.”

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it"

"all men are created equal": All men have the same human nature with women the nature for motherhood and men the nature of fatherhood. Combined, both natures are endowed by God for the creation of life.

SANTORUM is hated fiercely by the immoral libertine Marxist Left as well as Hollywood and radical gay organizations. One of many reasons to truly love and support the guy. To hate Santorum with a passion like some incredibly on this forum, is to ally with evil, filth and moral decay. To mock him as a minister or a priest is the kind of stuff you here about Rick by radical yons on D.U.

Well stated. That is the reality many conveniently choose to ignore.

God must be acknowledged or else there is no basis for liberty and freedom.

I expect public rimming and fecal consumption will be the future for these disgusting deviants as Sodom is reborn.
