SANTORUM JOINS LOTT AND MORAN IN THE DOGHOUSE | 2003-04-26
Republican Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania has joined Senator Lott and Congressman Moran in the doghouse. He said one of the many things that are true and that no one is allowed to say.
Let's review these three heretical comments
Lott said that if Strom Thurmond had been elected president in 1948 we would not have the problems we have now. Moran said that if Jewish leaders had opposed the Iraq war strongly it would not have happened. Santorum said that if the Supreme Court's "privacy" doctrine applies to homosexuals, if people can do anything they want to behind closed doors, then people have the right to commit incest.
Liberals said Lott's comments were racist, Moran's comments were anti-Semitic, and Santorum's words were gay bashing.
All three statements were true. But under today's doctrine that calls itself "Free Speech," that doesn't matter. A British judge sent a man to prison for a year under the British Hate Law for telling the truth. In his decision in The Crown Versus Joseph Pierce. 1986, he said, "The truth is no excuse."
If you think about it, if the truth is no excuse, there is no point to Free Speech.
