Santorum's Gay Sex Problem

Uh-oh, I'm sure Santorum thinks wading with your dog is a gateway activity to frequenting bestiality bath houses. Keep an eye out for the black helicopters.

P.S. OMG your doggy is so kewt!!!

my dog bites my toe, he is a naughty puppy! :D

Imagine how confused and freaked out he must be about having the gorgeous and brilliant Dan Savage coming after him. I think there's a latent BDSM thing going on there, too. It's mighty crowded in the fevered subconscious of Mr. Santorum.

Why thank you, we all hate him (with the exception of pennsyltucky)

This reminds me that sexual psychologists believe that Santorum like characters, who, like Henny Penny, run around screaming Gay, Foul, Gay, Anal..., are usually attempting to mask or drown out the inclinations and preoccupations which they recognize as their own, but are struggling to reconcile within their own psyches, or hiding from the public. Santorum, I think thou doth protest too much, and, your slip is showing...

Voted up for your entire comment, but especially "Republicunts"! Awesome!!

No, libtard, I'm pretty sure it's YOU that can't handle the truth.... or tell it....

Bigots are good men? I didn't get that memo, sorry. And we don't hate America. Just the red states.

Republicunt is my new favorite word. Thank you tlbuffin. ; )

Colonel Jessup is a fictitious character from a movie. This is your evidence? This is not critical thinking. You have some serious issues with discerning the difference between fact and opinion. Good luck with the rest of your life.

unconscious

I can strike a chord, too. Come over here and bend over...

No apologies necessary- I've been using that word for years. : P

Yeah, I hate to break it to ya, but remember all those times when it hurt to sit down for a few days after you passed out at a party? At least the guys that were riding you were good looking, from what I could tell by the pics on the internet...

AMEN, thank YOU! Only people from PA know what an asshole he is!!

My favorite thing was watching Fox News when the Tea Party was just getting started and they kept saying tea baggers with all kinds of sincerity and it was all I could do not to fall on the floor laughing. Are they really so clueless they didn't know what tea bagging is?

ROFL- I know! I laughed until my stomach hurt. One of them will still do it occasionally, and whoever is standing by will rush up to them and whisper something in their ear....followed by a tense expression of thinly-veiled mortification...and a little stammering.."um..I mean Tea Partiers..uh, that is to say Party Members...um.". The gift that keeps on giving and giving....

one has nothing to do with the other. he is a stupid asshole because he doesnt recognize equality, to be sure, but trying to corral all conservs up as birthers or anti gay or anything is just as bad everything else. we need to stop adding to the static

I find a Fox News pundit whining about misdirection and misinformation circulated through the Internet amusing. To me they are related.

If the static fits...

what? santorums got a violet wand stuck where?

Oh, you are a naughty little penguin! LOL.

The fact that nick19 doesn't seem to realize that 'santorum' is named after Sen. Santorum and that it's not some unfortunate accident stands as a testament to how awesomely successful this discrediting of a bigot really has been. Great job, internet.

I love it when the Internet changes definitions around.

No dear, it's the liberal gremlins that live inside the internet that change things around. They're called Logic, Reasoning, and Sardonic Wit (the bratty kid brother). Be careful- if you have a computer turned on, they can wiggle right out of the internets and get into your house!

not all conservatives, and there are people on all sides of all issues that harbor bigotry. this one just happens to be a bigger douchebag than most lol

You may be correct that not ALL conservatives fear homosexuals. However, there are recent studies -- sociological, psychological, behavioral -- that put forth a link between fearful personality and conservative politics. Fear of change, fear of government, fear of the other, fear of being a crime victim, fear of national invasion, fear of gays, fear of national bankruptcy, fear of god's retribution, fear of multi-culturalism, etc, all run deep through conservative politics. One only has to listen to what matters most to them and it will become apparent. Granted, some are rational fears, but some are not so rational. Santorum's remarks are illustrative.

By the way, if his logic is taken to its conclusion [slippery slope argument], if I buy a drink at my local quick stop shop, I will have no control over my buying there and will eventually buy everything in the store, without the will or ability to stop myself. Oh my!

Slippery Slope arguments are fallacious and are based on fear.

there are studies that show EVERYTHING lol we need to stop labeling and start embracing

Studies -- Are you saying all studies are untrustworthy? It is good to question methods and results, looking for bias, but to reject all academic work as unreliable is a bit too much. You seem to be suggesting that because there is some bad social science out there that all social science should not be taken seriously. Really?

Labeling -- You have a point there. Not sure pointing out the obvious "fear" theme that runs with the right's agenda is a label per se but I agree that there is pernicious name-calling on both sides that can and should be eliminated.

Embrace -- Are you asking us to embrace bigotry? Not sure what we are to embrace here. Embrace the fearful, ok, they are human just like all of us. Embrace conservatives, yes as our fellow citizens in democratic debate. Embrace their philosophy, not a chance without a rational argument. Santorum's argument is logically and factually fallacious at best and bigoted at worse.

no i am suggesting, and now saying, that you saying there are 'studies' that show most of any group are anything is silly and pointless without naming them and validating their findings.

and as for what we need to start embracing i meant we all need to start embracing each other as members of humankind, not as right or left, white or black, gay or straight

The "exciting" correlation was found by scientists at University College London who scanned the brains of TWO members of parliament and a 'number' of students.

wow what an exhaustive study.

Fair enough, a small sample, but apparently statistically significant by peer view standards or it would never get published.

Did you read the rest of the article?

"... The results, which will be published next year, back up a study that showed that some people were born with a "Liberal Gene" that makes people more likely to seek out less conventional political views.

The gene, a neurotransmitter in the brain called DRD4, could even be stimulated by the novelty value of radical opinions, claimed the researchers at the University of California."
----

There are other scientific studies suggesting links to political views and the brain. I only provided [and stated] this was the latest study and it seems to support other studies suggesting this link.

Accept it or reject it, your call. I am not obligated to prove this to you. My statements remains valid -- there are studies making this connection.

Try doing a google search of "fear, conservative" and see what else you get, just for giggles.

Very well put! Hats off to you!

Sorry guy, but it will be a cold motherfucking day in hell before I embrace the people who have been trying desperately my whole adult life to take away my ownership and control of my body by making abortion illegal. It's been depressing and stressful having to spend my whole life with this battle. It's like someone is trying to make it legal to rape you. Conservatives are evil to the core- they are completely lacking in empathy and want to legislate their religion and heartlessness. If you want to say all Republicans are not conservative, I'll agree with that, though I have to wonder why they are still Rethugs. But there are no good conservatives. It's the nature of the beast.

Unfortunately, part of the genetic difference of conservatives includes a particular resistance to logic.

Eric Hoffer in his book "The True Believe" calls it a fact screen. They believe their philosophy holds the entire truth and anything that is counter to that "truth" is ignored. He claims that true believers have a religious faith in the correctness of their position and has power over fact.

Post script here. The study actually surveys 2 professors and some students, the number not indicated but also states that an addition 90 students, whose brains were scanned at previous time were post asked their political views and included in the data. So at least 94 and perhaps more where in this study.

LOL

wet naps are your friend lol
