Santorum condemns booing of gay soldier
Wash Post Afternoon Fix ^ | 09/23/2011 | Chris Cillizza

Posted on 09/23/2011 2:28:11 PM PDT by Hawk720

In an interview with Fox News’ Megyn Kelly, former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum commented on the reaction to a question from a gay soldier at last night’s debate. “I condemn the people who booed that gay soldier,” he said. “I have to admit I seriously did not hear those boos. ... But certainly had I, I would’ve said, “Don’t do that. This man is serving our country and we are to thank him for his service.”

“Course some would complain that he dissed the soldier because he didn’t thank him before saying that.”

You got it. We’ve lost our damn way.

Agreed. Megyn Kelly has an agenda on this issue.

I realize some around here like her, but, I’m not a fan. I watch very little of Fox anymore and never watch the others. I’ll watch Red Eye once in awhile, and I did watch the debate, three times! lol

That’s the thing some folks here couldn’t seem to understand when I posted about this last night—when our message gets out clearly, we win. Show that we’re not afraid of the other side having their say, that we are coming from the security that our position is the correct one. Let THEM be the ones who shout people down out of fear and hate.

We’ll be the adults, secure in the knowledge that our position is neither weird nor one from fright. We just say it like it is, and people will see we’re not the torch-bearing villagers the left loves to make us out to be.

I’d thank the mentally ill sex pervert to get out of the military.

In elementary schools showing it off to children, would that be okay?

Idiotic hyperbole, anyone?

So is blind loyalty to anything in a military uniform something we can’t queation?

No, they are running from their records. Especially Perry and Romney.

Santorem is a weak, emotional shipwreck of a man; lacking any spine, or personal convictions. He questions even his own positions.

Bullshit.

Its an ‘issue’ that is destroying the country,and we need a president that will make it plain that faggots and lezzoids will not be tolerated in the military, or in our schools.

I would have no compunction booing the soldier since he seems to be the coming out and in-your-face type. Notice he engineered his pose in the video to optimize his homo-ness?

Unfortunately its neither.

Its an accurate statement on what our schools have become.

Rick handled the issue well, but he’s showboating with the absurd condemnation.
