Rick Santorum and the Republican dichotomy of "government"

[g5000]

Name 5 laws that tell people what to do based on religion.

Now tell us how many regulations telling me how to run a business.

Which one should I be more concerned about?

All of them.

You mean he actually believes the Constitution and what it really says? How horrible!

Seriously, just because a law is stupid doesn't mean it's unconstitutional.

Do you believe its constitutional for the government, state, local and or federal, to tell you how to have sex and to tell you you can't use condoms and other forms of birth control?

If the FDA can regulate drugs, including birth control pills, then it can outlaw birth control, condoms or any other drug or medical device. Whether I believe the state has the right to pass laws controlling your sex life, there is certainly nothing in the Constitution that bars state governments from doing so.

 

[bripat9643]

Santorum isn't going to do shit you biased Askhenazi, he's a fucking moron that would make it so that you would go to jail for not having sex the way he and other fundies see fit, if he and his ilk had their way they would institute Christian sharia.

Would making sodomy illegal be a huge problem for you?

All of the laws and regulations. As a citizen, you should be concerned with all of them.

You have the entire concept of freedom and liberty ass backwards. There is nothing in the Constitution which says they CAN control your sex life.

Jeez - every post from you lately has to do with "cock."

Gay much?

Christ, come out of the closet already...

What a totally ignorant post. It figures that Rabbi would like it. Ever try an intelligent response???

 

[EriktheRed]

To be able to have an opposition party which seriously considered nominating - let alone actually nominate - Rick Santorum as it's standard bearer is possibly the greatest gift the Dems could get this election year.

You can't be more concerned about all them. That sounds like something from a Dilbert Cartoon.

Face it: you're weaseling.

The bottom line is that regulation of our personal lives isn't a big issue, no matter how much libs try to blow it up into one. Regulation of economic activity is the main thing we have to be concerned about.

Sure there is: it's called the 10th Amendment.

My views on freedom and liberty are one thing, and a valid understanding of the Constitution is another.

Rick Santorum: States Should Have Power To Ban Birth Control, Sodomy

This dumbass is too preoccupied with controlling what goes on in people's personal lives, will he stay the fuck out of people's bedrooms?

The Republican dichtomy about "government" is fucking dubious, to me government is government be it state or federal government, I want neither dictating to me what i can do in the bedroom and if women want to take birth control so as not to have unwanted pregnancies thats their choice regardless of whether I garee with it or not.

Why fucking make federal government look bad and state government look good when it comes to violating personal liberties? Dumbass Repugs.

well, what's dubious is their claim that they want "small government"... they like big, sweeping, controlling government.... when it tells people what to do based on their religious beliefs...

but they looooooove small government when it comes to allowing this country to become a dickensian nightmare.

RUSH: In certain things, conservatives actually do like a big government. For example, conservatives do want an activist government defending what's right and attacking what's wrong.

That distinction is lost on the dimwits.

Wow. So it is okay to oppress people as long as it isn't you, is that right?

You are seriously sick in the head, man. Holy fucking shit. You and Santorum, get the fuck out of my party.

 

[g5000]

On behalf of sane Republicans everywhere, I feel it is my duty to point out that all this bigotry in the GOP is the result of a massive influx of bigots from the Southern Democrats back in the late 50s and early 60s who were fleeing the socialist tendencies of the Democratic Party.

We sane ones have been lackadaisacal about scrubbing out that particular element and offer our humblest apologies for allowing it to spread across the entire party and be nurtured by ignorant assholes.

We were once the party of Lincoln and I will work hard to make sure we are again one day.

Does your boss know you're gay?

That's all you have?

"You hate gays, you must be gay!"

"You defend gays, you must be gay!"

Such puerile retorts speak volumes about the lack of intellectual capacity of the speakers.

I'm going to let you in on a little secret.

In 2000 and 2004, Republican voters like me gave people like you the Bush you wanted.

In 2008, we stayed home and helped people like you get the Obama you deserve.

 

[The Rabbi]

You were asked if a statute against sodomy would bother you. You went off on a rant, so obviously the answer is Yes. Why would it bother someone unless they engaged in it? I'm not bothered by restrictions on driving horse drawn vehicles, because I have nothing to do with that.

How on earth is restoring the Sodomy laws, especially when they were rarely enforced to begin with, constitute oppressing people?

You do realize that lincoln was likely against sodomy right? His platform was to "rid the world of the evils of slavery and polygamy." I highly doubt that a man who has a problem with polygamy doesn't have a problem with sodomy.
