“Our Founders wanted a severely limited Federal government.”
True, but limited government is different from no government.
“Anyone who believes in a government that serves the people in the way Santorum believes it”
So what does Santorum believe? Let’s hear it.
“Our Founders wanted government to keep the h*ll out of our lives.”
Actually, he’s arguing in favour of intervention, to restrain one man from another.
“It only happened because government was limited and did not act to serve the people in the manner as Santorum wishes”
And what, precisely does Santorum wish?
“It is strictly because government was limited that we became a great Superpower economically, not because of any government ‘action.’ “
Was the US, prior to 1913 a superpower? UK, Germany, France, were all more powerful.
“Santorum’s entire political DNA is at odds with Liberty and Capitalism. He is a Statist masquerading as a Conservative.”
Opinion. From what I can see, he’s the best conservative out there. Newt is a progressive masquerading as a conservative. Paul is a libertarian masquerading as a conservative. Romney is a socialist masquerading as a conservative.
Santorum? He’s the best we’ve got still standing. Perry’s pretty good too, better than Newt.
The US became an economic Superpower in the late 1890s. We became #1 in GDP in the 1890s.
Perry’s pretty good too, better than Newt.
No argument there. Unfortunately, this cycle we have to select from a range of bad choices. Newt does have a progressive streak that is quite bothersome. I have railed against Newt for his insane Global Warming views. He still can't let go of the belief in man-made global warming.
I am under no illusion that Newt will be this great conservative. If he is elected President I have no doubt that the base will have to continually keep pressure on him to resist his "government solutions." Still, at this point, he is the strongest to defeat the Marxist. I wish a real conservative was running, one who has the instincts of our Founders, the passion for Liberty that our Founders held dear. But alas we do not have that choice available.
Santorum peaked in Iowa and it is only downhill from there. No matter his conservative credentials, the guy has little charisma. He could never handle the onslaught that will be coming from the MSM and the rest of the evil left.
