gary350 0 #1 March 11, 2004 Wanted to help "spread the word" that there has been a fairly serious effort going on to add a new word to the language. Fun! It's largely succeeding, thanks to the web and to grassroots efforts - as a Google search or look at urbandictionary.com will plainly show. Rick Santorum is a US Senator from Pennsylvania and is the third ranking Republican(!) in the senate. The Christian Coalition has called him "A man of honor", Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said, "Rick is a consistent voice for inclusion and compassion in the Republican Party and in the Senate, and to suggest otherwise is just politics", and President Bush has called him "An inclusive man". Wow - why did they say all those nice things? It was in response to criticism of statements by Senator Santorum like these: "If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual (gay) sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery," Santorum said in the interview. "You have the right to anything. Does that undermine the fabric of our society? I would argue yes, it does." At another point in the interview, Santorum said marriage is a bond between a man and a woman. "That's not to pick on homosexuality," he added. "It's not, you know, man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be." These are but a sample of the attitudes and opinions that, besides prompting President Bush to call him "An inclusive man", have led other folks to say things about him like: "Discrimination and bigotry have no place in our society, and I believe Senator (Rick) Santorum's unfortunate remarks undermine Republican principles of inclusion and opportunity" -A Fellow GOP Senator "What a bigoted, narrow, homophobic piece of shit" -(me) Anyhoo, a columnist and author, Dan Savage, came up with the idea to honor Mr. Santorum with a NEW WORD! Here it is (NSFH - Not Safe For Homophobes): Definition: Santorum Pronunciation: san-TOR-um Function: noun Etymology: Savage Love - 05/29/03 1. The frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex. 2.

gary350 0 #6 March 11, 2004 I'm worried a little about just portraying the honorable Senator Santorum from my narrow little liberal view, so I went out and quickly found an interview where he can more accurately explain things in his own words, along with his staunch supporter, President Bush! Straight from whitehouse.org: http://www.whitehouse.org/news/2003/042403.asp SENATOR RICK SANTORUM AND PRESIDENT BUSH CONVENE TO DISPEL THE OUTRAGEOUS LIBERAL FICTION OF GOP BIGOTRY TOWARDS FUDGE-PACKING HOMO DEVILS Statement by Senator Santorum and the President SENATOR SANTORUM: Good morning. I want to thank the President for inviting me to join him today. As you know, recent comments by yours truly, asserting not only that Americans have no Constitutional right to privacy, but also accurately comparing homos to child rapers and kin-pumpin' Mormons, have whipped up Washington's smartypants sodomite elite into a pink-codpiece-chafing snit. And though it seems increasingly likely that I may have suffered a gruesomely damaging self-inflicted political blow, I'm going to hold my ground on this one – just like the snarling little Pennsyltucky froofy dog that I am. THE PRESIDENT: It's a real pleasure to have you here, Rickos. You know, Karl and I were counting on the post-war media to forget that we can't find any Iraqi weapons or even Saddam Hussein, and remain fixated on that California Democrat who celebrated the sanctity of the American family by snuffing out his preggers wife on Jesus' birthday. Unfortunately, it would seem that the liberal-controlled Jew homo press also smells blood in the political waters, and so they're trying their queer bestest to do to you what they did to your hair styling mentor Senator Trent Lott. Well we're not gonna let it happen. That's why I called you up – so you can say your piece. SENATOR SANTORUM: I appreciate that, Mr. President. I know that you know how much it hurts when people say things about you that aren't true – like when people spew lies about your insider trading deals at Harken Energy and how you went A.W.O.L. from the National Guard because you couldn't take their drug test because of that cocaine thing, and that stuff about that underage girl and how you– THE PRESIDENT: Rickers! Ix-nay on the uth-tray! (more) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kmcguffee 0 #7 March 11, 2004 You're right! Anyone who disagrees with the liberal agenda is either a homophobe, a racist, a Nazi, a bigot, a chauvenist, a religious fanatic, uneducated, or doesn't have an open mind. We can't tolerate these types in our society! Vote Democrat! "Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do." Ben Franklin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawrocket 3 #8 March 11, 2004 Whitehouse.org. Big fun. Of course, I disagree with the statements of the honorable Santorum. I personally believe that whatever consenting adults do in the bedroom is solely the business of the adults. I don't recall whether Santorum has ever gone against goign Hershey highway a female. Still, quoting whitehouse.org is a bit farfetched, ain't it? I agree with your point here, gary. But you can lose it with stuff like that (though it is pretty funny satire) My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
