Does Rick Santorum Agree With What Happens In Your Bedroom?

Let us hear the exact words from the one who wishes to become our National Minister as he preaches about sex and contraceptives.

One of the things I will talk about that no president has talked about before is I think the dangers of contraception in this country, the whole sexual libertine idea… It’s not okay because it’s a license to do things in the sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be. They’re supposed to be within marriage, for purposes that are, yes, conjugal… but also procreative.

It is utterly preposterous to read and hear these words from Rick Santorum.  It should rub your nerves raw, and grate against every sensibility you have to know a presidential candidate thinks he should have any say at all into the most private aspects of the citizenry.

The Atlantic, in one short paragraph, sums up the national response to Santorum’s puritanical horse-rot.  Sexually-stunted Santorum is yet another flavor of the month the GOP is trotting out as a potential nominee.  The American public is not interested.

Any politician who regards the adult use of contraceptives as a matter under his purview cannot lay claim to the limited government label, nor can he credibly invoke a tradition rooted in the pursuit of happiness. And it’s baffling that a presidential candidate would survey a world of poets, clergy, cognitive neuro-scientists, novelists, happily married elderly people, and a polity with sexual tastes as diverse of ours, and regard politicians as a useful authority on what kind of sex is special.
