Sen. Rick Santorum; Today’s “Homophobe” Award Winner

 
It is pretty well known among reasonably intelligent folks that Sen. Santorum is a Certified Screwball and right-wing zealot.
 
Who can forget Screwy Rick’s admission that he took his stillborn child from the hospital to his home and then placed the dead infant on his bed in between him and his wife? This action in and of itself qualifies Ricky as one of America’s All-Time Top Five Loons.
 
After being defeated by Romney for the Republican presidential nomination, most of us were happy that for the most part, Ricky invoked his 5th Amendment right to remain silent.
 
Of course it wasn’t long before Rick the Bigot decided to come out of the closet so to speak by attacking the Boy Scouts of America after the executive board announced it would reconsider its ban on gay membership. Ricky’s inner homophobia took over and demanded that he comment on this heresy.
 
Ricky then said, “When I saw that the Boy Scouts of America executive board is convening on Wednesday to discuss abandoning the organization’s founding moral principles that nurture boys into men, I was saddened, but not surprised.” Ricky went on to say he believes the Boy Scouts are reconsidering its stand due to pressure form popular culture and “the intolerant liberal mind.”
 
Ricky’s comment about “the intolerant liberal mind” is truly special. Apparently, Ricky believes “the conservative mind is tolerant” by comparison. If true, then maybe Ricky would be kind enough to tell us who in the hell he thinks he is to demand that if one of our daughter’s becomes pregnant after being raped that she will be required to give birth to the rapist’s child. Come on Ricky, inquiring minds would like to know!
 I don’t recall Ricky going nuts when the Boy Scouts admitted that hundreds of its scout masters were molesting boy scouts and that they cheerfully covered it up. Apparently, Ricky is more upset that a non-pedophile gay person would be a scout master than a heterosexual pedophile.
 
Congrats Ricky; keep up the good work! We should let everyone know of your amazing record as one of America’s most disrespected Homophobes; you are far too humble.
