"Fourth and finally, get off the defensive and take the offensive on the homosexual issue by purging "gay" activism from the Republican Party. The implicit goal of the "gay" movement is the normalization of an anything-goes sexual morality -- the antithesis of the family values so dear to our Republican base. Instead of inviting into our tent the very constituency that many Republicans have spent years and fortunes opposing, why not conduct a meaningful family-values outreach to ethnic minorities? Let the Democrats continue to be the party of sexual deviance and let us exploit that identification to woo away their healthy families to the higher Republican standard."

Very scary poster, here. If you want the ticket back to minority status, follow this guy's advice.

The vast majority of Americans believe in tolerance, not the fundamentalist/bigoted views articulated in this post.

I take particular offense at the word "purge", as if this is some sort of campaign like the Russian pogroms.

You will not "purge" people from the Republican party who believe that the government has no business regulating the bedroom.

We aren't going anywhere. But if you feel like you don't fit in, please feel free to join Pat Buchanan's party. I was glad when he left and the party is better off because of it.

Condemnation of homosexuality, however, is by no means directed at specific ancient rituals alone. Among the cardinal sins of Judaism, which one is bidden to lay down his life rather than engage in, are murder, idolatry and "gilui arayot," the immoral uncovering of nakedness (Lev. 18), which includes adultery, incest and homosexuality. Indeed, the Torah reserves its most intense condemnation for homosexuality:

"to'eva" - abomination...

LOL...you all are so funny...thinking that your views reflect any kind of majority of anything, much less the GOP.

Wait, I guess you could work up a consensus---in a gay bar, or in a Democrat caucus....

Wrong. The vast majority of Americans believes homosexuality is immoral and opposes gay marriage. Majorities in some states support sodomy laws. Hardly anyone who opposes such laws, except for those who actually benefit from them, cares very much about them. Those who do care aren't voting Republican anyway.

This deserves repeating;

Well said.

The author of this article not only helps the opposition stereotype Republicans as homophobic bigots (which most are not), but he misses the entire point of the Santorum controversy.

This is really about whether or not Santorum wants police barging into people's bedrooms and arresting them for homosexuality, adultery etc.
He still hasn't made his position clear as far a I can see.

Furthermore turning one's own personal religious beliefs into a public political debate is just plain stupid.
As a result of this I really doubt Santorum's judgment and leadership skills.
