SOUNDBITES — “My thoughts are this: The military is there for one purpose and one purpose only, and that is to protect and defend the United States of America. We have a volunteer army. They [gays] can un-volunteer too. … Political correctness is reigning in the military right now. Some people say: [Do] whatever the generals say [on DADT]. I’m not too sure that we haven’t so indoctrinated the officer corps in this country that they can actually see straight to make the right decision.” —Rick Santorum, the former senator from Pennsylvania, responding to a question asked during his speech at CPAC (via)

Good to know that Rick Santorum wants the military to protect our country. Too bad he doesn’t trust the officer corps enough to make personnel decisions because he thinks they are indoctrinated….

I’m sorry – what branch of the military did he serve?

As his happy cries subsided, the sweet sticky santorum began dribbling from his distended asshole like melted mocha frappuccino. He told me that he loved me. It was only then that I realized the man I’d sodomized in a Pittsburgh bathouse was noe other than Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA). I felt dirty.

@Joseph: We should applaud columnist Dan Savage for helping coin the noun, santorum, as so aptly used by Joseph.
Use it often, with affection, but carry santorum wipes as a courtesy to the next user. See Dan’s ubiquitous Savage Love columns or also

Wipe your ass Mr. Santorum, your conscious is dripping.

Family Guy’s Seth McFarlane said it best on the Bill Maher Show.
His words fit Santorum to a “T”.
“If you’re sitting there watching TV in your undershirt, worrying about terrorism, worrying about your family, and at the same time objecting to the person who’s out there putting his life on the line so your family can be protected, you’re the worst kind of fucking asshole there is.”
Seth’s words should be chiseled in stone.

Oh the crows of chickenhawks!
It would be amusing if not for the extra dangers our country faces due to our military missing so many well trained soldiers/sailors/marines and officers and the tolls taken against them: per Santorum and other wingnuts: our military is so full of sissy-assed pansy soliders that just 1 gay in a company of 40 men, and the 40 are all going to be raped (I guess by the exceptionally strong bodied gay who can take on 40 men at a time) and the officer corp is reduced to tears of fear over being glanced at? Morons.

Did this fool serve his country? What gives him the authority to speak on DADT? He trusts the military corp to carry out a war and defend our country but doesn’t trust them when it comes to personnel. No, they’re indoctrinated when it comes to this.
Had Mike Mullen not been in support of a repeal to DADT many of the rightwing-nuts would have been singing a different tune. Their hypocrisy is revolting.
I hope this fool is running in 2012. Palin/Santorum 2012, this is enough motivation for me to go out and vote!

We are being credited with power(s) that we did not even know we possessed. LOL
We can bring on earthquakes, hurricanes, locust plagues, global change of weather, the extinction of the human race (Pope Ratzazz gave us credit for that one) and now we can even take on 40 Marines, single-handed.
Dang. One would think, with all that power that we have, no one would dare to fuck with us.
Which just goes to prove how fucking idiotic their claims and accusations are.

No. 11 · schlukitz : “now we can even take on 40 Marines, single-handed.” …. especially the gay ones? Does one bottom and 40 tops constitute an orgy or do you need more going on simultaneously to qualify?
OK, obviously not what was meant, but why not have a little fun with the concept? After all, if it was a female taking on 40 Marines, what would a reader assume was meant?

Wow! Those words, by Seth McFarlane, are eloquently brilliant! I am clipping the quote to save for future uses.
People don’t seem to read words etched in stone anymore, pity. How about tattooing that quote across the face of every chickenhawk?!
And yes, those wingnut politicians do say anything no matter how ridiculous from their brainless zeal of bigotry. In one comment, the gays are too sissy; in the next, we are bully rapists with superman powers to take down dozens of military trained professional soldiers/sailors. But then, that is the nature of politicians. If Shakespeare visited the world today, I am confident that he would amend his quote to read: “First thing we do is kill all the lawyers AND POLITICIANS.”

O, be some other name! What’s in a name? that which we call a sanitary pad. By any other name would smell as bad;

Hey, Schlukitz is Da Man! How are ya?!! I’ve been away from the site for a bit and blasting the Repugs from health care reform, plus giving Dems hell for letting opportunities go and becoming GOP-LITE. Geebus, it never ends, the Right spouting more shit than a Crohn’s Disease sufferer (I know, unfortunately), and their commenters who can’t leave this site be from their stupidity!

Yes, you have. And for far too long, I might add. ;P You’ve been missed by all of us who post here regularly. Welcome back.
Sorry to hear of your affliction. I have a friend in Tampa, FL who also has Crohn’s Disease, so I am familiar with the discomforts and problems associated with it.
Not too much has changed on Queerty since last you posted. Same shit. Different names. We no sooner get one creep banned from the site, when another one comes along to pick-up where the first one left off. Sadly, sites like Queerty, Towelroad, Pam’s Blend, etc. seem to attract the homophobes and provocateurs per excellence.
I am well. Thank you for inquiring. I hope the same holds true for you and yours. I also hope we will continue to enjoy the pleasure of your company here on Queerty. Happy Sunday. 🙂

That’s wonderful. I love it. And while we are on the subject of Shakespeare, I am reminded of a cute story I once heard.
Seems that Shakespeare decided to visit the old west in America. Upon seeing his first cowboys wearing leather chaps, he exclaimed in horror…
“Yee Gads! What manner of man be these that wear their balls in parenthesis?”

Hi Schlukitz! Thanx for the kind words! You always brighten up my day and make the world a little more intelligent with your great comments! I love the Shakespeare quotes from everyone! Shakespeare would fit in so well in the progressive mind in the 21st Century! Take care Schlukitz and all open-minded Queerty commenters! You are all great!

@gayllama: Kudos, however I think that Prick Santocum may be thinking <I wish my prick was this big……………This asshat loser got bitchslapped when the voters of Pa. woke up and realized they had one of the laughingstocks of the Senate representing them. Believe it on nor Pricky was once considered one of the frontrunners for the repugnatican nomination……..
Obscurity is calling, they want their former senator back………

We care because it is people just like him who are working very hard to take us down.
And if we bury our heads in the sand like an ostrich, while they do their dirty work, then we deserve everything that we get.
