I caught this trolling for fuel to keep the fairtopartlymoderate engine running and was pretty disgusted. Here at fairtopartlymoderate, I try to be as moderate as I can in both my opinions and what I write about. With that in mind I found this to be way over the top. There is simply no need to add this type of argument (or pictures for that matter) to the political debate. I am by no means trying to involve myself in some inner-blog shouting match, that is not what this blog does, but I would like to point out what other blogs are talking about. A reasonable debate over why they felt compelled to publish such an article would be nice.
That being said, what would be the down side to having a President involved in a secret society? We have had Presidents be Freemasons, Elks, Lions, Skull and Bones (i have to admit they are alittle shady) and a whole host of other organizations. These Presidents are also those consistently ranked in the top ten Presidents. Being a member of society teaches one to get along with other people of various classes, opinions, races, and occupations. I recently wrote (http://fairtopartlymoderate.blogspot.com/2012/02/why-republicans-and-rest-of-country.html) about how uncivil Congress has become, and if more members of Congress were a part (and active in) of such organizations that incivility may decrease.
I see no problem with Rick Santorum being Opus Dei, if he is. What I have a problem with is people feeling the need to sensationalize political debate with lude pictures and innuendo that is not necessary to debate politics
