Santorum looks like a prophet now.

So perhaps we should have taken consenting adults who commit adultery or homosexuality in the privacy of their homes and thrown them all in jail, and we would have prevented this sort of sexual permissiveness?

Santorum looks like an idiot.

Help me with something Jorge. Given other comments, perhaps it'll help me understand your perspective better.

Are you libertarian? Or close to being so?

Nope, it's you that looks like an idiot with a cynical, deliberate misinterpretation of Santorum's remarks, which seems to be based in a perverse urge to expunge moral belief systems from the public shphere, a la ACLU phonies. When you make wild accusations with no facts to back them up, you only damage your own name.

None is saying anything about Jail:

"If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual 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. You have the right to anything."

Is this quote wrong? Have not the Homosexuals now that they have normalized their behavior (look at TV, like the MTV awards) began pushing multi partner relationship, and any other relationships not just on society but also on our churches?

Most christians dont care what they do in their own bedroom (aside from feeling sorry they live in sin) but most homosexuals care what we do in our churches..

If you had done any reading on Santorum's statement and what he subsequently said (I can' believe you haven't) you would know that he - and others who agree with him - do not want police banging on doors to see what people are doing in the privacy of their houses. The whole intent and purpose of anti-sodomy laws are to keep deviant sexual behavior PRIVATE - where it belongs. To keep deviant sexual behavior from becoming public and mainstream, thereby destroying the moral fabric and foundation of civilization.

Santorum got it right.

There was no jail time for homosexual sodomy in Texas. The offense only carried a fine. The men were jailed likely for failure to obey the officer when he told them to stop engaging in anal sex while he was questioning them.

The slippery slope is starting to slide and this is the best defense you have?
