Irresponsible mortgage and insurance companies preying upon the most impoverished homeowners in our country? Bankers and Wall Street financial specialists robbing Americans blind? Corporations refusing to raise the average worker’s dollar, even as CEO’s award themselves billions in annual bonus money?
No, no. None of these things led the the economic collapse of our nation, and the world at large. It was the gays, of course!
Quote from Santorum follows. No mixture. Pure fecal matter.
Listen to the bananas quote yourself over at Right Wing Watch. We suggest sitting on your hands for the duration so as not to pull out all of your own hair. You just can’t unhear something this stupid after it has touched your ears, unfortunately.
I've heard so much right-wing and fundie crap, i.e. everything they say. that I've got calluses on the part of my brain that hears it. It's bleached whiter'n a cow skull in the desert too.

I'm gritting my teeth to say this, but in fairness to Santorum, he's not explicitly blaming the recession on gays. He's more generally speaking of a moral breakdown in society, not only because of the breakdown of the traditional family. And his quote does not let the rich and powerful off the hook:
"And you can’t say that we’re gonna take morality out of the public square, morality out of our schools, God out of our schools, and then expect people to behave decently in a country that requires, capitalism requires some strong modicum of moral consciousness if it’s gonna be successful."
Now I can ungrit my teeth ...
If you think that we can be a society that kills our own, and that disregards the family and the important role it plays, and doesn’t teach moral values and the important role of faith in the public square, and then expect people to be good, decent and moral when they behave economically, if you look at the root cause of the economic problems that we’re dealing with on Wall Street and Main Street I might add, from 2008, they were huge moral failings. And you can’t say that we’re gonna take morality out of the public square, morality out of our schools, God out of our schools, and then expect people to behave decently in a country that requires, capitalism requires some strong modicum of moral consciousness if it’s gonna be successful.
