You don’t understand what I’m saying. Of course it was a religious speech. I’m saying the fact that he and his supporters are angry that lots of people (including lots of conservatives) find this speech disturbing shows that he is tone deaf. A smart politician would have reviewed all the speeches he’d given BEFORE running for President and figured out how to respond to the inevitable uproar if and when they became public. Rick stated just four years ago that mainline Protestants have been subverted by Satan. Getting angry and insulting those who find that sound bite objectionable is not helpful.
“Rick stated just four years ago that mainline Protestants have been subverted by Satan.”
Wow... he really said that? And to an audience of people whose churches are full of graven images, pray to Mary, chant vain repetitions while fondling plastic beads, light candles and pray for souls of already-dead people... hmmm. I would’ve supported Santorum, but he may have crossed a line here.
He is partially right; Satan is infiltrating and subverting Protestant denominations — as well as every other denomination and every facet of life. It’s what Satan does.
