Our liberty is built upon our moral foundations and I’m pretty sure Santorum does not want the gub’mint to administer morality. In an age of moral collapse, simpy reducing gub’mint will not secure our freedoms either - it will only foster greed and crime. We need a moral regeneration in this country first - IMO.
With due respect, we are talking elections - which means we are talking government. I agree with you on what is morally right and I’ll agree that we need moral under pinnings for our society to succeed.
BUT, the secular governmental role in that equation is to stay small and out of the way. It is not and CANNOT be the role of government to ram morality down the throats of those who do not agree.
Our Founders - who agreed with you on the moral, knew the sacred right was the right of property, because without the right to property, you can not possibly have liberty or pursuit of happiness.
Rick Santorum is not about keeping government small and out of our way nearly enough for me.
