SANTORUM: ...In every society, the definition of marriage has not ever to my knowledge included homosexuality. That's not to pick on homosexuality. It's not, you know, man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be. It is one thing. And when you destroy that you have a dramatic impact on the quality --

AP: I'm sorry, I didn't think I was going to talk about "man on dog" with a United States senator, it's sort of freaking me out.

--exchange in Rick Santorum's recent AP interview

Have you been wondering why, when homosexuality was brought up, Senator Santorum's thoughts quickly turned to interspecies sex? Maybe he's been reading Dinesh D'Souza:

Letters to a Young Conservative takes the form of an epistolary exchange, a la Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet or C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters. Each chapter is formulated as a response to a curious young man, Chris, whose nascent conservative ideology is being regularly tested by the forces of liberalism and relativism infecting his university....

Faced with a smoothly articulate gay-marriage proponent? Simply flip to Chapter 23, and watch your adversary slink away to his den of iniquity when you show him how the official sanction of same-sex unions would inevitably lead us down the slippery slope toward legally recognized polygamy, incest and bestiality.

--review of Dinesh D'Souza's most recent book

When you look into it, it appears that D'Souza is rather obsessed with this subject; it almost seems that every time intimacy crosses his mind, the familiar laundry list of transgressions, animal love notably included, floods his synapses, like cusswords on a Touretter's tongue. This is from a snotty article D'Souza wrote for National Review last November, "A Solution for the Democrats: How to Win Next Time":

But what is the need for this coyness? The Democrats should stop hiding behind "freedom of choice" and become blatant advocates for divorce, illegitimacy, adultery, homosexuality, bestiality, and pornography.

Of course, D'Souza virtually made his name invoking man-on-beast love. As Kevin Powers wrote recently in the right-wing newspaper The Minuteman,

While Dinesh D’Souza attended Dartmouth College, he started the Dartmouth Bestiality Club in response to a homosexual club that was formed and funded by the college.

Strange guy.
