Rick Santorum Defends Anti Gay Marriage Stance: Marriage Is the Glue That Holds the Family Together
FOX News ^ | 01-02-12 | Studio B

Posted on 01/02/2012 9:56:53 PM PST by Lazlo in PA

In an interview on Studio B Monday, Shepard Smith challenged Rick Santorum on his position on gay marriage. Santorum said that whether homosexuals should be allowed to marry is really a question of values, saying, “The question is whether we should change the laws of this country to reflect a different value structure. What we’re talking about here are different values. We have to Judeo-Christian values that are based on Biblical truth and truth that can be acclaimed and resolved through reason. And, those truths don’t change just because people’s attitudes may change.”

He went onto say, “People are allowed to love a lot of different people and a lot of different, and we honor those relationships, but we don’t call them marriage and we don’t treat them like marriage.”

Santorum concluded, “Family is the foundation of our society and marriage is the glue that holds that family together. That’s not being against anybody, that’s being for something.”

Refreshing to see a person running for POTUS not tap dance around on this issue. It is no surprise that this line of questioning came from Shemp Smith.

Here is a clue for Shep, and Rick.

Marriage is sanctioned by the Church.
Civil unions are sanctioned by the state.

Most folks are ok with that.

Don’t muck with the Church you jerks.

And this is why the largely gay-rum major media will utterly DESTROY HIM...

It was an NPR local news director who laughing told me what a “Santorum” was, two years ago.

Yes! Refreshing to see a politician with PRINCIPLES.

The government should not legalize perversion.

My apologies, Rick is right on this matter.

Good for him.

That is absolutely disgusting. I have noted here at FR a few folks referring to Rick as “Frothy” and had no clue what it meant. I learn something everyday I am on FR, for good or bad. In this case bad. LOL,

I am not a Santorum supporter, and never plan to be one.

But I will say I loved the interview he did with Hannity tonight, he did very well.

Practically every time they have a state vote on gay marriage- even in deep blue states- it gets shot down. The MSM can harp away all they want against him on this, but I really question whether the public at large will care. (Even Obozo opposes it).

Those who use that have likely identified themselves as TROLLS.
This term started on DAILY KOS (Shock!), and was quickly picked up by a mainstream media over-run with queers.

At least Shep has a clear purpose in life — namely, to boost the self-esteem of boxes of rocks.

Beside his solidly conservative views (with which I agree), and beside his articulate command of the language, (which, as a fairly good speaker I still envy), Rick Santorum's brave ability to speak truth to deceit and corruption with NO hesitation makes him top contender in the GOPer primary race with the best chance of victory against Mister O-blame-a .

WANTED...

Santorum v Obama debates!

So, what is the issue here? Anyone seeking the office of president should not upset the gay-run media or perhaps they should keep quiet and not upset the gays?
Anyways, if its not the gay issue it would be something else.
After they did their best to make sure Romney is the last Republican standing Santorum, a conservative pro-family man, slipped in under the radar.
The lefties have got to be going bat guano.

There are a lot, lot more people in the world with the name Santorum than just Rick Santorum. That’s pretty stupid and sophomoric of them to do even if he was ‘the only one’, but he certainly is not.
