Santorum Continues to Spread
From this week’s Economist:
The fall of Rick Santorum, Pennsylvania’s junior senator, is even more eagerly anticipated by the American left. Mr Santorum is one of America’s most articulate opponents of all things permissive. His six children are home-schooled; he opposes stem-cell research; he feels that sodomy should be outlawed; he favours national service. James Dobson, the head of Focus on the Family, an evangelical group, praises his “integrity, vision and unwavering commitment to the principles and beliefs upon which the United States was founded”. Meanwhile, gay activists use his name to denote something indescribable in a family newspaper.
Who could those gay activists be? Why, they’re me! But the word isn’t being used by activists alone. The word was mainstreamed long, long ago.
An alert Stranger and Economist reader named Patrick brought this to my attention. Thanks, Patrick!
FRRRRROTH!!!
