Former Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan had it just right — someone had better read Rick Santorum his Miranda rights. In the big leagues of national politics, she warns, “Everything you’ve said can and will be used against you.”

Keep in mind that Rick Santorum has said a great deal, and is still talking. In a world accustomed to bland politicians, Santorum breaks the mold. He admires conviction politicians, and he aims to be one. He speaks his mind, and then keeps on talking. On crucial issues of a moral nature, Santorum not only states his position, he explains it in detail and then goes on to present his convictions in the form of an argument. He is willing to make comprehensive statements of cultural analysis and sweeping moral judgments.more...

It amazes me how conservatives don’t even recognize how far they’ve moved to the left. After all, we now have FReepers regularly trying to push Christianity behind closed doors where it won’t embarrass them.

That is correct.

And the “fiscals” will, petulantly, blame it all on us social traditionalists.

The separation of social and fiscal conservatives is a lie anyway. There's no such thing as a fiscal liberal Social conservative or vice versa. We are either conservative or not, period.

*Only for the GOP and Conservatives....

Sad but true. The Lame Stream Media is still pervasive in at least 40% of America, the 40% who care more about which bimbo "The Bachelor" strung along than who's running us into deficits our great-great-great-grandchildren could never pay off.

Add to that the cable-based propagandists at HBOh-No, and anyone with an R after his or her name starts with out with three strikes against them sitting behind the 8-ball with the Sword of Damocles hanging inches from their neck and a frayed rope holding it up.

Santorum, like Palin before him and a few others before them, failed to realize this and their honest opinions became nothing more than the butt of "stupid" jokes for most Americans thanks to the popular media cabal.
