[personal profile] linaerys says it not like it is but as it should be:
I am getting really freakin' tired of hearing how we should respect Rick Santorum for the consistency of his beliefs, even if we don't agree with them. This is usually said by progressive men and is about his views on sexual behavior. (I refuse to call it sexual morality.)

I don't care if his views are consistent when they are also evil. Hating gay people is evil. Forcing a woman to carry a non-viable fetus to term is evil. Forcing a woman to bear a child of rape or incest is evil. Forcing someone to go through an unwanted pregnancy at all is evil. I would rather a little less consistency and a little less evil.

I think Mitt Romney has the soul of a garden slug, but his inconsistency means that occasionally the wind that blows him around takes him somewhere positive.
Give me inconsistency or give me context! QWP.

Eh. It can be perfectly consistent to have a problem with abortion but not with the death penalty.

Not saying I agree with that position, but declaring it automatically inconsistent is a bit simplistic.

(Raving commie by American standards.)
