Santorum: "They have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do, government should keep our taxes down and keep our regulations low, that we (government) shouldn’t get involved in the bedroom, we shouldn’t get involved in cultural issues. You know, people should do whatever they want. Well, that is not how traditional conservatives view the world and I think most conservatives understand that individuals can’t go it alone."

Santorum: “If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual gay sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery.... It all comes from, I would argue, this right to privacy that doesn’t exist in my opinion in the United States Constitution."

Santorum: "The Internet is not a free zone where anybody can do anything they want"

Hey, I don't know what planet you are on but since Roe vs Wade the left’s canard about a “right to privacy” existing in the Constitution has been obliterated by any and all conservative jurists, philosophers and rank and file. This is a basic tenet of contemporary conservative thought.

You do realize that what you’ve stated above doesn’t support your case, don’t you? Santorum is not saying that government should invade the bedrooms. Instead he’s saying that there is no “right to privacy” in the constitution that prevents government from doing so.

He’s arguing the constitution, and what will be the logical course of events if the Supreme Court keeps treating it like toilet paper. If you want the government out of your bedroom, vote for people who’ll keep the government out, but that isn’t what the Left does. Instead they appoint justices who use the Constitution against the people. Prop 8 in CA is an example. The people voted to maintain traditional marriage. Liberal appeals court judges used their interpretation of the Constitution to find the law unconstitutional.

Your quote, in this case, simply does not support your argument that Santorum wants to invade our bedrooms. The whole idea is ridiculous. On the other hand, there is a faction on the Left that would be more than willing to let a liberal court legalize man/boy relations. Don’t doubt that. And that is exactly the sort of thing Santorum is warning against.

If you want the government in your bedroom (or your kid’s lunch box, for that matter), continue to ignore Santorum’s advice. You’ll get more government than you can tolerate.
