More from the Blame America First crowd
For the handful of San Antonio readers I have, I'm sorry to announce that I will be moving to Boston soon. Don't worry, despite what certain insubordinate interns may claim, I will never be a Celtics fan. Loyal to the Spurs I remain.
Something over at Crooks and Liars about my new hometown recently caught my eye:
In an oped for Catholic Online, Rick Santorum writes that "When the culture is sick, every element in it becomes infected. While it is no excuse for this scandal, it is no surprise that Boston, a seat of academic, political and cultural liberalism in America, lies at the center of the storm."
So, according to Santorum, Catholic priests don't molest little boys because of archaic rules of chastity or a hierarchical structure that has no accountability. Rather, it is because of a "sick" American culture, which apparently has its heart in Boston.
Why does Santorum divert the blame away from those responsible? Instead of blaming the perverted priests responsible for the abuse, instead of blaming the Church that has allowed it to continue for so long, why does Santorum blame America first?

I'm going to guess it's because Rick Santorum, and I'm speaking as a native of Pennsylvania here, has about the same moral compass as someone who derails trainfuls of nuns and orphans and then blames the train for being derailable. Rick Santorum has been piously headbutting common sense for a long time now.
