Reason Magazine Blogger Finds Pleasure in Tears of Rick Santorum's 8-year-old Daughter
Because the libertarian universe has no place for the vulnerable, weak, or the dependent--since none are autonomous adult-choosers in search of virtual kiddie porn--it has no qualms in providing a forum in which children and their families can be verbally abused and have profanities hurled at them. Read and weep Julian Sanchez's "Your Tears Are So Yummy and Sweet" in which the writer says he finds joy in the tears of Rick Santorum's eight-year-old daughter, who is pictured crying next to her father as he gives his concession speech on Tuesday night, November 7. Most of the comments that follow celebrate and contribute to Mr. Sanchez's meanness. In fact, one commentator, named Jon H., makes sarcastic reference to the Santorums' newborn child who died in 1996. ~ Posted by Francis J. Beckwith at 11:25 PM

Man, I haven't taken this much pleasure in the suffering of a small child in days.

Especially since homosexuals are so 'tolerant' of others. /sarcasm
Sanchez claims that any problems with polygamy or polyamory would be grounds for banning those practices. Yet I showed in "The Coming Battle," and have shown repeatedly, that the rights-based grounds on which we are being given gay marriage will not be able to exclude polygamy or polyamory.
Sanchez chastises me for my "breathtaking stupidity," my "heroic inanity," my being "brain dead," etc., but his litany of insults does little to disguise the superficiality of his argument. Sanchez admits that he doesn't know what to do with my claim that the analogy between civil rights and gay marriage is flawed. The point of my earlier writings on gay marriage (of which Sanchez appears to be ignorant) is that skin color has no effect on the functioning of marriage as an institution, but that sexual orientation will. Sanchez needs to address the arguments I make in my Commentary article, "What Is Wrong With Gay Marriage," in the gay-marriage debate, and in pieces like "Gay in Hollywood." But of course, he does not. Sanchez also seems to be unfamiliar with the well-established idea that the state's "compelling interest" in marriage, and in the children marriage produces, entitles it to abandon strict neutrality in structuring this institution.

this writer is a kid, very immature and extraordinarily vicious. sure doesn't reflect well on Reason or Cato.
This "man" is just pitiful!! Disgusting!!
No, the GOP became dangerous to Americans a long time before 9/11, but I fear that like many I have held my nose and said, "the good outweighs the bad"...and as such, I am admitting that I might have been part of the problem in allowing the GOP to become more a party of big government and spending and government intrusion and all the things conservatism is against.
Perhaps it started when GHWB was nominated for Reagan's VP. But the thing to watch is to see whether the GOP's recent strategy of "talk conservative and act liberal" will be changed after this election--perhaps conservatives no longer will put up with the deceit.
Not defending whatever was said, but the picture did strike me as odd, in that she seems a bit old to still be playing with a doll.
But please explain to me how a conservative's conservative like Rick Santorum, went down to such a resounding defeat? As far I know, Rick stuck to the Repubican and conservative values on every level. And George Soros poured millions of dollars into Pennsylvania and the media routinely blasted this good man, etc. ad nauseum...Doesn't it matter any more if one is principled, faithful, true to his word, etc.?
If it doesn't, then I want to know how we can turn that around? We simply cannot afford to lose men like Rick Santorum and George Allen. These men are not at all in the mold of Arlen Specter who has repeatedly violated the trust of Republican voters in this state throughout his entire tenure. When James Clymer ran against Specter in 2004, I really thought he could have beaten him and sure wish he had.
I would really appreciate some positive direction as to how to turn this mess around. I want to and will make every effort to individually register and educate new voters. I am willing to nurture each voter. Where should I concentrate my energies? I am open to any and all constructive suggestions/ideas; honest I am.
Thank you!!

Age eight is prime doll-playing years. I played with dolls till I was 12. After that, I would not touch them. When I was eight, I really loved them. Perfectly natural.
I wonder if the angle of the photo makes her look bigger than she is, she is only eight and that's very young.
BUMP!!!
When libertarians stop supporting abortion on demand, I will be willing to entertain evidence that they have compassion for kids.
When liberatarians cease supporting abortion on demand I will entertain evidence that they care about the welfare of kids.
The door to DU is on your left. Don't let it hit you on the ass on your way out; I hate it when people get ass prints on the door.
Hey losertarians, if you can throw a national party out of office, why did we have to suffer through 40 years of Dems running the House?
So when San Fran Nan brings her kids to rallies she's trolling for family values votes? Get a grip.
Aren't you a great moral philosopher, excusing bad behavior by citing other bad behavior.
Funny...he hasn't answered your question...:-)
Surely you have lost your bloody mind to tie this girl to some sort of power grab. The libertines show their true colors again.
Sounds like child molestation is right at the top of your mind or something...just sayin.
I've always loved the line libertines put out about how conservatives are "in our bedrooms." I just wonder, when was the last time any of them decided not to engage in a particular kind of sex because they were afraid they'd get arrested? Probably never.
He also apologized to Hillary, in person.
