Santorum should absolutely NOT step down because of this, and conservatives everywhere should take the left to the mat over this. This has nothing to do with gay rights. It has to do with Constitutional interpretation. Sodomy laws have been constitutionally permissible in this country for more than 200 years. The Supreme Court does not have the power to change the Constitution by judicial fiat just because societal attitudes have changed, or because the Supreme Court thinks they have. If the gay community doesn't like these laws, it should address its outrage to the Texas legislature, not the Supreme Court.

I agree with you. Santorum said nothing wrong. As I said in another thread, that these "human rights" groups are complete hypocrits in being "outraged" at Santorum comparing them to incest practitioners! They say that they are on a morally higher ground....that sodomy is much more moral than incest. Incest is not pedophilia! Some countries have a tradition of marrying incestuously. These are consenting adult relationships....the same argument as the homosexual argument!

Santorum put homosexual rights in the correct context, and it drives them crazy! They want special consideration...they want to discriminate against others sexual practices....but not their own!

The fact is, if we do put public sanction to these practices, as it were, then all must be sanctioned! There can be no descrimination!

Of course there will always be deviant behaviour. And for the most part, I don't want to know about it. But, do not ask me to endorse this behavior and call it normal...for it is not!
