What he is essentially calling out is the “wall of separation” which does not exist in the Constitution. The only “wall” there is one that keeps government out of religion. He’s saying a person should be able to bring their values into office. Rick isn’t talking about making this a Catholic theocracy, but about the traditional, Judeo-Christian values that built this country. Secular values are essentially a religion unto itself. It’s sad that conservatives are attacking a man for standing up for traditional morality, a morality that helped makes this country great and is the antithesis to the socialism we are heading towards. If it’s not our morality, it’s theirs, and lately, conservatives seem to have bought the separation of church and state meme designed to eradicate traditional morality, replacing it with secular humanism, hook, line, and sinker. Maybe it’s in order to prop up their candidate of choice, which is very sad. We do need to fix the economy and be strong on national defense, things Rick talks about and stands for, not that you would know if only following media soundbites and hit pieces posted on FR.
The man is anything but pure. Have the courage and read. I wrote this and I footnoted it to death so there could be none of the usual claims of error, I did it out of respect for the intellect of santorum's supporters, and to approach them in a thoughtful way instead of shouting. some of them have found it eye-opening, and had their minds changed, or atleast started vetting Rick themselves. I hope you will join them.
That is utter Bull splatter! Santorum has said NOTHING about these issues that he has not copied almost word for word from Newt Gingrich and even Romney. And in relation to the issues that actually matters to the public, Santorum has “TALKED” about it, less than 10% of the time.
He still has no plan of his own, nor does he have a clue how to even start.
This IS the reason why Santorum will never take hold, or win the election. The sooner you come to grips with reality, the sooner you can start learning again.
