| − | A [[cult]]-like movement among [[liberals]], and particularly [[homosexual]] activists, vilified Santorum for his forthright and truthful statements. In the Senate, Santorum stood for traditional values, and fought for [[traditional marriage]]. His "[[Santorum Amendment]]" to the No Child Left Behind Act sought (albeit unsuccessfully) to undermine curricula which present the [[theory of evolution]] in a dogmatic way, but amendment opponents said it the language would have the effect of supporting the teaching of [[intelligent design]] in [[public school]]s, which they regard as [[Creationism]] rather than as a legitimate scientific theory. | + | A movement among intelligent thoughtful people against discrimination, and particularly activists, vilified Santorum for his forthright and bigoted statements. In the Senate, Santorum stood for outdated values, and fought for marriage defined by one group of people against another. His "[[Santorum Amendment]]" to the No Child Left Behind Act sought (albeit unsuccessfully) to undermine curricula which presents something that runs contrary to his worldview [[theory of evolution]], but amendment opponents said it the language would have the effect of supporting the teaching of [[intelligent design]] in [[public school]]s, which they regard as [[Creationism]] rather than as a legitimate scientific theory. |

| − | [[Liberals]] became obsessed with Santorum, particularly after he stood up for traditional marriage and drew an analogy between support for [[homosexual marriage]] and other illegal forms of marriage and conduct. Similarly to comparing someone to Hitler to get an overstated point across, amirite? Rather than dispute the analogy, liberals were quick to [[liberal tricks|feign offense]]. They argued that because the other kinds of conduct are so universally repulsive, pointing out the parallels with [[homosexual act]]s and homosexual marriage unduly disparages homosexuals. But they knew the ugly truth -- that homosexuality is just one step away on the slippery slope towards many other disgustingly immoral(according to some) proclivities. Since they had no legitimate arguments, they could only resort to [[liberal namecalling]] and personal attacks.
