Rick Santorum\u2019s observation<\/a> that the same basic \u2018it depends on how you define human life\u2019 principle used to validate abortion is not unlike the same \u2018depends on how you define a human being\u2019 argument used to validate slavery.\u00a0 It\u2019s true\u00a0 It sure is a heck of a lot closer to truth than the more popular idea that looking at the stats behind the gay lifestyle and concluding it might not be the best choice for human living is akin to wearing swastikas or lynching Blacks in the Old South.\u00a0 <\/p>\nOf course, Santorum missed the crucial rule here.\u00a0 He mentioned Barack Obama as a Black man.\u00a0 That is verboten<\/em>.\u00a0 Well, it isn\u2019t when it comes to mentioning President Obama as a Black Man in the sense of First Black President.\u00a0 Or, some celebratory mention of the Black side of his ethnic heritage.\u00a0 And of course there\u2019s nothing wrong with people saying that there are two types of people in America: those who support President Obama and racists.\u00a0 From Jimmy Carter to Tavis Smiley, there\u00a0is no end to the pundits who make it clear that failure to support President Obama is a factor of racism.\u00a0 And they get away with it.\u00a0 Well, most of the time.\u00a0 People did sort of jump ship when Carter said folks opposed Obama\u2019s healthcare plan because they were racists.\u00a0 He had to rescind that and say only most of them were racist, not all.\u00a0 A big step.<\/p>\nBut on the whole, the fact isn\u2019t that Santorum\u2019s argument isn\u2019t sound.\u00a0 It is.\u00a0 It sure is more sound than the more politically correct notion that questioning homosexuality is the same as having segregated lunch counters.\u00a0 But he also forgot the cardinal rule: race belongs to the Left to use as it pleases.\u00a0 Only those on the Left may invoke it, use it, or exploit it.\u00a0 Should anyone on the Right even notice that President Obama looks slightly less than Swedish, and you can bet your bottom dollar there will be protests tonight.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
