The Insane Hatred of the Evil Left
This kind of garbage must be paid attention to, because not challenging evil people like Dan Savage and the moonbats of MoveOn.org and Daily Kos hurt Senator Santorum, since it gave their lies credibility. You can’t just ignore these people - you have to defeat them.
Cliff Bostock is a typical example of a Santorum-hater, though unique in that he is apparently a PhD in psychology. Let’s pray to God that he is not actually practicing psychology, and if he is, may God have mercy on his patients. Here is what he had to say about the election of Bob Casey:
“It’s unseemly to engage in schadenfreude, the German term for taking delight in the misfortune of others. But what special pleasure, watching Rick Santorum get his ass kicked. Now, he’ll be able to divorce his wife and marry his (male) dog without fear of political repercussions. You know he’s into inter-species sex, right? George Bush told me so. He never lies.”
This is what passes for political discourse on the left today. The more outrageous, the more hate-filled, the more obviously false the statement the better - and yet the far-left eats it up like it’s the Gospel Truth. While they weren’t as vulgar, you could find letters which were just as hateful and just as filled with lies in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette every day leading up to the election.
I keep hearing from the far-left that Senator Santorum is somehow obsessed with sex, but they’re the ones who continue to obsess over his remarks from three years ago, which they succeeded in completely changing the meaning of and used to demonize the man.
Now that their boogeyman Santorum has been beaten, the far-left continues to push for radical changes in society. The Catholic Church recently repeated its 2,000 year old unchangeable dogma that marriage is the union of one man and one woman, and that homosexual acts are always sins. The far-left responded by calling the Catholic church intolerant, ignorant, anti-science, demeaning, and various other nonsense. Not only that, but the far-left is not even being honest about this dogma - they’re calling it “new guidelines” when this has been Catholic social teaching since the dawn of the church.
This is just like the far-left’s claims that Americans being religious people is something “new”, or that a President of the United States talking about religion is something “new”, or that people should have personal responsibility is something “new”. Of course none of these are new ideas, but you have to lie and claim that they’re new in order to present the social norms themselves as being radical.
In fact, the dishonest attacks on the Catholic church prove that the far-left doesn’t just want our government to change - they want our society to change at its very core, with any and all religious or moral teachings which they personally disagree with being done away with forever.

I think you’ve got an excellent point - it is tragic that Santorum, who was so consumed with the American People’s spiritual well-being (despite the supposed separation of church and state and the role the senate should play in upholding The Constitution vs. The Bible) was so insulted by the “evil left”, who he’d repeatedly insulted by referring to their lives as worth the same as the average house pet in regards to the basic civil rights granted to the rest of the Nation’s people. However, I am sure he will have a great place in Lay Church Leadership somewhere amongst charismatic Christians who cling to Church Teaching in lieu of any other means of making personal decisions.
As a Catholic, I am insulted by Santorum’s need to use The Bible to dictate policy and, yes, after one’s rights have been taken away they generally turn to glee when the person who worked so hard to do so is no longer in the seat of power. However, when his career rises again (which I certainly see happening - let us not forget the politcal model created by Pat Robertson), I certainly hope he will make the effort to enforce the remaining passages in Leviticus as well - there is nothing more insulting that watching American people freely consuming shellfish and women wandering the earth shaking peoples’ hands while menstruating. After all, The Law states it’s both unclean and forbidden… and, really, that’s Rick’s job, isn’t it? Protecting us all from the hell we’re condeming ourselve to by ignoring the laws of Leviticus?
I would like to request that he also reinforce the rules of animal sacrifice - there is a major epidemic of people sacrificing doves improperly in this country and it, eventually, will begin to rip at the seams of The American Family if nothing is done about it.
