Conservatives sure look foolish

… when they say things like this. Calpundit, Radley Balko, Matthew Yglesias and Atrios all tell you why from their unique viewpoints.

The author, Stanley Kurtz, tries to make the argument that legalizing adult incest (involving no minors) would create a slippery slope causing people to think incest was OK and therefore abusing their children. Similarly, according to Kurtz, homosexual marriage threatens heterosexual monogamy in marriage.

As the whole Santorum Business showed, conservatives are in a tough position when it comes to homosexuality. They want to outlaw it, and anything to do with it, since they find it morally wrong, but they don’t want to say that they want the government to enforce morality. So you get Santorum saying “I have no problem with homosexuality. I have a problem with homosexual acts,” Bush calling Santorum “inclusive” and a convoluted, illogical, mess of an argument like this one.
