PHILADELPHIA -- On the eve of Senate confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito, conservatives rallied in defense of religious liberty and in favor of reforming the federal courts.

"Justice Sunday III" was held in the state where Alito, generally supported by conservatives, sits on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, the No. 3 Senate Republican, told the gathering that liberal judges are "destroying traditional morality, creating a new moral code and prohibiting any dissent."

"The only way to restore this republic our founders envisioned is to elevate honorable jurists like Samuel Alito," Santorum said. "Unfortunately, the Democrats on the Judiciary Committee seem poised to drag these hearings into the gutter, so they can continue their far left judicial activism on the Supreme Court."

1. Go ahead and carp you arch-homophobic weasel.

Pennsylvanians are waking up; your days are numbered.

2. For these people that's actually pretty tame.

Wathch the film at the bottom of my post.

3. ....prohibiting any dissent?

What a profoundly disturbed individual- constantly projecting, scapegoating and looking for windmill's to tilt.

What an embarrassment to Pennsylvania.

4. Ahhh, things going badly for

your side, inject a wedge issue into the mix to distract from something substantive... morals, gays, abortion, brain dead women, etc. etc.

[Blutodog]

6. Disgusting person

Rick is truly what the rethug party has come to represent. He's a bully and a weasal all wrapped up in one slimey package a truly disgusting person. Hopefully, this will be his last year in the Senate.

5. My relatives in Penn. tell me Snotorum's finished.

They say there's no way he'll be re-elected, because he's extremely unpopular.

15. As a PA resident, I agree with your relatives.

But I won't be celebrating until I see his concession speech next fall.

7. Says a man whose party is mired in scandal and investigations

9. the GOP owns the patent on morality

and they alone decide who is and isn't moral

[BiggJawn]

8. Could this be because we resist the movement towards a Theocracy?

Santo-Rectum stands in a pulpit on "Justice Sunday III" and accuses the Liberals of being against Morals.

What's the message here?

I'll tell you what the message is, it's that "Without GAWD, Man has no reason to be Moral. We NEED Gawdly judges who will take this nation to The Cross and SAVE it."

What a bunch of bullshit. I got news for you, Atheists even obey traffic laws, NOT out of fear of getting burned by the Great Gas in the Sky, but because it's the RIGHT THING TO DO!

[Gman]

10. I knew Santorrum couldn't stand it much longer

Santorrum's up for reelection and trailing real bad in the polls. He's been running from Bush like the devil from holy water. He's been acting real moderate in the last couple of months since the election. He even spoke in favor of the Dover decision and has backed away from the fundies. Apparently, his shaking and withdrawal from the extreme right wing got the best of him and he's back to his true self spewing his RW crap.

11. WHOSE morality?..you fucked up asshole!

Abramoff's morality?

Warmonger's morality?

REPUKE LIARS' morality?

GREEDY Repuke's morality?

Government official's MURDERERING morality?

HOW THE FUCK ARE DEMOCRATS PROHIBITINGANY DISSENT? THE REPUKES ARE IN CONTROL OF OUR GOVERNMENT! THE DEMOCRATS CAN'T PROHIBIT JACK SHIT!

12. The Republic of our Founders would not have allowed Santorum his post.

Many of our Founders were regular churchgoers; many of the more influential held the philosophical belief of "Deism" more important than any Church. But one factor was shared: Catholics did not have political rights. Charles Carroll of Carrollton was highly influential in Maryland--he was the only Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence. After the Revolution, he advised the Republic & served his State of Maryland. Neither Santorum nor Alito would have been allowed high political office in the Good Old Days.

"I think the kind of attack that is being used against (Democratic senators) and against me has the potential of moving our country to abandoning the freedom of worship which we enjoy in this country, and moving toward the creation of a theocracy," Salazar said.

After his first verbal barrage on Wednesday, a Focus on the Family spokesman said Salazar was aligning himself with Democratic senators who allegedly showed an anti-Catholic bias in rejecting one of the appeals court nominees, former Alabama attorney general William Pryor.

Salazar responded Thursday with a terse letter to Dobson. In it, he defended Senate colleagues of various faiths, and he called on Dobson to repudiate a Focus board member who once referred to Catholicism as "a false church."

The board member, R. Albert Mohler Jr., said Thursday he stands by the comments he made in March 2000 on the cable news show Larry King Live.

(Ken Salazar is a Democratic congressman from Colorado--a Catholic attacked by Focus on the Family.

Much of the Religious Right that Santorum speaks for would NOT cherish his freedom of religion--if they gained the power they want. He needs to read his history.

14. Who wants to make bets on when he gets caught soliciting sex from men?

You know he's got something hiding in his closet.... the drag queen.

16. Traditional Morality .....

Where white people enslave blacks with hatred and discrimination

Where the rich give nothing to the poor...but bitter pills

Where homophobes murder gays

Where jingoistic nationalists supress debate and dissent

Where children starve in unheated homes.


Santorum can take his "Traditional Morality" and shove it up his ass.

17. Maybe Terry Hekker has some new found words for your "traditions"

America's model housewife turns feminist as husband abandons her

It is 25 years since Terry Hekker hailed the housewife, now in a landmark decision the acclaimed author has rejected her past saying she was wrong

Paul Harris in New York
Sunday January 8, 2006
The Observer


Terry Hekker wrote a book in 1980 that made her famous. Ever Since Adam & Eve was a passionate defence of her decision to eschew a career and spend her life as a wife and a mother.
Coming at the end of the Seventies, when feminism was enjoying a renaissance and the career woman was emerging from behind the cooker, Hekker became a celebrated poster child for more old-fashioned values. She wanted her job choice of 'homemaker' to be considered as valid as those of up-and-coming women bankers, bosses and company directors. The book sold well, Hekker appeared on all the TV prime-time chat shows and went on a national tour. But that was then.

Today, Hekker told The Observer, she is planning a follow-up book. Its working, albeit jokey, title is bluntly honest: Disregard First Book. For her life did not turn out as she planned, and she now believes her decision to become a housewife and homemaker should serve as a warning for young American women.
