What I like about this is that Santorum didn’t worry about the political optics (offending non-Christians) and just went with it. I’m not a Santorum supporter but I do appreciate his authenticity. Santorum is a devout Catholic and doesn’t shy away from his faith.

But as Right Scoop points out, it’s curious that ABC ignored Santorum’s speech in front of these pastors but aired the prayer in full. I think it was the media’s way of showing how strange these “faith people” are. What they fail to realize is that this is only strange to people who live in Hollywood and Manhattan.

Kudos to Bill O’Reilly for calling out the far right over their attacks on JC Penney for hiring Ellen Degeneres. This kind of thing is disgusting. These far right groups need to get over it. Gay people are not going anywhere. These are the same totalitarian tactics the left uses to silence people they disagree with. Let me be clear, I don’t agree with Ellen’s politics at all. She’s a big time lefty. But unlike Rosie O’Donnell, Ellen is not mean spirited and ugly towards people who disagree with her. Secondly, JC Penney is not doing anything political. They simply hired a popular female talk show host to help them sell clothes. If you don’t like it then don’t shop there.

Being reflexively against anything a gay person is participating in is not Conservative, Republican, or even American. It’s actually the exact opposite of all those things. It’s bigoted.
