Who Elected This Guy?

Ok, by now I'm sure everyone knows about the anti-gay comments from Republican Senator Rick Santorum, who reportedly compared homosexuality to bigamy, polygamy, incest, and adultery. It's a good thing that Salon.com has published sections of his original interview, because before I thought he was just another conservative homophobe. After reading the transcript, it is apparent that this guy is much crazier than that. He believes that NO ONE should be entitled to privacy at home, that the government should be able to limit your "wants and passions" in the privacy of your own home!! He somehow blames the Catholic priest molestations on homosexuality. What a fucking crackpot!!

Quotes from the interview:


You say, well, it's my individual freedom. Yes, but it destroys the basic unit of our society because it condones behavior that's antithetical to strong, healthy families. Whether it's polygamy, whether it's adultery, where it's sodomy, all of those things, are antithetical to a healthy, stable, traditional family.
...
I have no problem with homosexuality. I have a problem with homosexual acts.

And that's sort of where we are in today's world, unfortunately. The idea is that the state doesn't have rights to limit individuals' wants and passions. I disagree with that. I think we absolutely have rights because there are consequences to letting people live out whatever wants or passions they desire. And we're seeing it in our society.
