Rick Santorum has decided to inflict himself, yet again, on our fair nation, running for President a third (I think) time. Now, while I'm not entirely certain what America did to deserve such an honor, clearly God is trying to punish us for some string of transgressions, because otherwise, His chosen candidate, Santorum, would have long ago retired to head up a DC-based family-focused think tank or sell panini presses on late night television.
Not that I begrudge Rick his chance. Although he's not very attractive as a candidate, he did do well last time around, and he has, at least, earned the right to try again. He's out of touch with the voter base (and not just on social issues), he's smarmy and spray-tanned, but the man does do well in Middle America. And that's enough to keep him on the trail. And unlike his compatriot Mike Huckabee, this time around, Rick Santorum won't be welcoming the Duggars,

I don’t give a rat’s rear about the person. I never heard of him before this incident. There really isn’t a way he could have come to my attention.
The offense on the other hand is nasty and nobody no matter how much they may wish to promote either the person or the deed will silence me from saying so.
If you only got a 20 year sentence you should be able to
soon re-enter society and maybe even purchase a television.
WTF is a “Duggar”?
He was old enough to be a freshman in high school. He could have had a girlfriend his own age.
That family put themselves—including their son-—forth as moral examples, knowing what he had done. He came clean only after being exposed.
Amen!
People who whine about political/informative spam on FR give me a pain. If I don't like it, I can just scroll past it, and so can they. But they just can't handle that other people have that right -- they'd rather be in control and make decisions for everybody else -- they're smarter, you see. Or at least they presume that role.
Me, I'm a conservative. Live and let live, respect the rights of others to live their way just as I want them to respect my right to live my way.
Since this is a pro-God, pro-life, anti-queer forum, why would you think people here have a problem with any of that?
The Duggars are not normal Christians---they're members of a cult whose leader had to step down due to allegations he sexually abused and harassed 34 girls.
Christianity has nothing to do with forcing women to cover up neck to feet---Islam does that. Christianity doesn't force little girls to wear skirts when they play outside, or boys to wear shirts when they swim, or female family members to whisper code words to the males so they can drop their eyes and avoid being "tempted" by women.
All of those are legalistic cult requirements.
A type of canoe?
Well, good for the pervert. He can live his life as happy as a clam. But what about his sisters and the unrelated girl he molested? Have you given a thought to them?
The Gothard cult's sex abuse counseling material is all over the internet; it places strong blame on the victim for "tempting" the man. I wonder what that five year old did to tempt her brother?
Look in the mirror, newbie.
Thanks for this “live and let live” attitude, that must be what made you criticize my post asking not to continue this spam which you will be seeing over and over for the next year or so.
The guy is anti-Cruz, why doesn’t he just post about Cruz rather than these spam posts?
As a conservative, I support Cruz, and know that he is a natural born citizen eligible to run for president, but if you like this anti-Cruz spam, enjoy it, you will be seeing plenty of it.
I really don’t have any use for the idiot box sector of society.
I’m not going to force them to practice literacy though.
A Duggar is an awkward creature to be sure and thankfully relatively rare. The Duggar females are typically dressed in denim skirts no matter the weather or activities at hand and giant hair. Duggar males will be seen in blue blazers. They are judging each other and everything he around them.
Just the wild eyed religious ones. And sometimes I question weather those folks would know what conservative actually means if the definition fell out of their Bible.
In fairness most conservatives will fetishize and phony BS that makes even the slightest attempt at pandering to them.
“... the real world”
Really; obviously GOD is not in it, since you seem unable to see God’s reality.
Hmmmmm ..?? I don’t recall reading the word “silence” in my post. I’m just trying to point out there are two sides to very story.
So, no one can be redeemed even if they make mistakes as a young teen? What a sick mentality.
And, he is suffering. He lost his job and subjected to ridicule in the media. That I don't have a problem with since he didn't disclose what he did to his employers.
Amen
I am admittedly the Randall Tex Cobb Raging Horndog from The Gates of Hell
Molesting little girls is not boys being boys and there is no justifying anything akin to this
Josh did this on the cusp of manhood
My great great grandfather Thomas Raspberry Byrd was at Vicksburg with his daddy Allen at that age in 1863 with Smyths company attached to Dockery
It’s disgusting to contemplate such sexual conduct
Scary is how he got there
I just don’t think such behavior trajectories are intrinsic to teen boys
It would have never ever crossed my mind
Good works know it all Christians are not my thing
But enjoy
You forgive and self righteously breast beat your way to salvation
Meanwhile ..,.
spoken like a true Jim Jones follower.....
Now that is sick.
