Rick Santorum Argues With Student Over Gay Marriage

"The Bible says homosexuality is wrong so I can't be a bigot". Student begs to differ.

So, if blind adherence to religious dogma absolves your personal bigotry, then logically, there is nothing wrong with the KKK, The Westburo Baptist Church or Al Queda - they are merely doing God's work. Kudos to the gutsy student for standing up to this belligerent bigot.

So you are saying that railing against gays and gay marriage does not fall under the definition of and I quote:

"A bigot is a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices, especially one exhibiting intolerance, and animosity toward those of differing beliefs. The predominant usage in modern English refers to persons hostile to those of differing sex, race, ethnicity, religion or spirituality, nationality, inter-regional prejudice, gender and sexual orientation, homelessness, various medical disorders particularly behavioral disorders and addictive disorders."?

I think people have forgotten what bigot means.

Bigot != asshole, though Santorum may or may not be one of those also.

"Time out"?
Damn, people are actually questioning my bullshit. This isn't going as planned, better just speak over them!
Fuck you, you condescending mother-fucker.


Totally, drives me nuts when they do that shit. This whole video made me angry, and I hope it gets around and damages his "reputation" even further for being a bigoted, condescending, ignorant, fucking arsehole

braindonutsays...

No, I'm saying the complete opposite. I should have been more clear.

Based on how he behaves and what he says, one would think that Santorum would wear the name "bigot" as a badge of honor.

EDIT: IE... it seems as though he's mostly upset at being called a "bad name" - even though his behavior clearly matches the description... It's like the word "intolerant." Or like those people who say "I'm not racist, but..."

Santorum's philosophy here seems to be, "If you don't like the message, attack the messenger."

The APA didn't just decide to "support" gay marriage. They performed the studies (which this student was citing) that found that the children of homosexual couples are no less happy or well-adjusted (or prone to homosexuality) than the children of heterosexual couples.

And, by the bye, the "sanctity" of marriage was destroyed many many years ago with the rise of divorce, adultery, and spousal abuse. A happy and loving home is far more important than the gender of the parents.

The following modification to this video would constitute the best videosift of all time:

When he finishes his statement (beginning at 1:45)

"The American Psychological Association is made up of people who agree with the American Psychological Association"

someone jumps out from the crowd and hits him in the teeth with an aluminum baseball bat.

I simply can't trust a man whose surname means "The sometimes frothy, usually slimy, amalgam of lubricant, stray fecal matter, and ejaculate that leaks out of the receiving partner's anus after a session of anal intercourse."

::roll eyes::

Silly religious bigot, you cannot preach your hillybilly dogma to the informed. Why don't you try preaching the misogynistic parts of your silly religion? You know the parts you can't get away with anymore because we have evolved better morality than that which was dictated by your "perfect god".

If only he was correct that we don't elect bigots to office. Some day.

::looks off in the distance wistfully::

The Bible mentions the evils of leavened bread more often than it mentions the evils of homosexuality.


Time to break out our bibles and picket the bread factories. All this time we thought 911 was the fault of homosexuals, when really it was our leavening process. The evils of man working under Satan's gaze knows no bounds!

Jinxsays...

Well those people who agree with you are basically just people that agree with you. All their research and evidence that makes them agree with you just makes them agree with you. Its irrelavent these people are experts in the field of psychology, they agree with you, therefore their opinion is as null and void as yours.

Yeah, some people aren't meant to be Psychologists, some aren't meant to be Doctors...and some aren't meant to be the President of the United States. SUCK ON IT.

"...[gay marriage] will undermine the family, it will destroy faith..."


HOW?

That's the one thing I haven't heard these morons say.

Look, I think two dudes bangin' nuts is gross(no offense, but assholes are gross and male genitalia is ugly), but it's their right to do it. Why should anyone give a shit what someone does that doesn't directly or even indirectly affect them?

wraithsays...

"The American Pshychological Association is not proof of anything"

She should have answered: "The Catholic Church and the Bible agreeing with you is proof that you think the same as a racist, bigoted bronze age sheep herder."

You've always been a bigot, you frothy mix of fecal matter you.

hpqpsays...

I upvoted your comment before reading the last paragraph, so let me rephrase it to something I would agree with (although I believe we share the same sentiment):

The social construct of "the sanctity of marriage" stems from its origins as a commercial/social (and sometimes political) contract which was not to be broken*. When/where it was no longer considered acceptable to marry off one's daughter/sister as property, religion invented the notion of "spiritual contract". "Adultery" is the oh-so terrible "sin" of having sex outside of that contract, and is really only reprehensible when it consists of lying and risking the transmission of STDs to an unknowing partner. Spousal abuse has always existed, but has been "protected" by the "sanctity of marriage"; it's their private relationship after all (and she's his property).
A happy and loving home is far more important than the gender of the parents.



*speaking of which, the Bible Mr FrothyFecalMix keeps defending as the pillar of marital morality commands a "you break it you buy it" approach to rape, literally (Deuteronomy 22:28-29).

FlowersInHisHairsays...

Heterosexual people have done more to undermine the sanctity of marriage than gay couples have. Britney Spears and her 48-hour marriage - legal and holy. Muslim men who pay imams to grant them temporary marriages to prostitutes - legal and holy. A random man and a random woman can get married without having met before, but two men who have known and loved each other for decades are denied this "privilege" - legal and holy. Fuck the straight sanctimonious hypocrites who say that only hetero marriage is allowed. Fuck. Them.

Suddenly the sanctity of law matters? Since when does the left give a shit about laws? Since never. Just like the end run around voters over gay "marriage". Mob rule.

One day the left will call anti-pedophiles "bigots". It's inevitable.

Yeah, 'cos sex between consenting adults is exactly the same as paedophilia.



The rape of fish is a terrible thing, as is the arson of whiteboards.

Do I win the "response is nonsensical and irrelevant" game yet?
