"The idea is that the state doesn't have rights to limit individuals' wants and passions -- I disagree with that. I think we absolutely have rights because there are consequences to letting people live out whatever wants or passions they desire. And we're seeing it in our society." Associated Press, 2003 Rick Santorum
The idea of a man running for President of the United States making a statement like that is beyond insanity. Rick Santorum believes America, a beacon of freedom, should have the right to limit an individuals passions. By that, of course, he means suppressing homosexuality, preventing gay marriage, and probably making being gay a crime. The man is deranged. He is sexually backward, more than likely repressed, and even terrified of straight sex. In his America masturbation would be illegal, adultery a stoneable offense, a menage a trois punishable by death, and pornography burned in huge pyres in public squares, just as the Nazis burned books. There is no chance in hell that this prissy moralist could ever be president. He's lucky that our generous democracy even lets him try.
