Where on earth are you getting the idea Santorum was 'persecuted' in a debate? It's a primary , politics, candidates, and a run for Presidential office....it's a race against opponets...sheesh!
I'm a Conservative and a Christian...Santorum has no discernment capability when it comes to framing his judgemental religious comments...while pointing his one finger at others while he has three pointing back at him. He does not reflect the statesmanship we need...rather comes off like a circut riding preacher blathering fire and brimstone........the place for that is not an election.
But you don't think there is religious persecution against Christianity in America and that CNN is not part of it?
Using the law (with threats of fines and/or imprisonment) in defiance of the constitution to force faiths to conform to a government agenda is not persecution to you?
Thank God we have a solid CONSISTANT Christian Conservative American like Santorum to not only take the heat but send it right back in their faces.
Somebody has to stand up and say it and take a stance.
Heck, the Israelites grumbled at Moses for bring some law down to them, for their own good.
The reasons libs and libertines don't like Santorum is that by his personal example, and words (warnings, more than anything else), in their darkness and wrong, they know they are convicted. And it makes them downright uncomfortable.
If people in the White House, in MSM, on Broadway, in Music/Billboard Magazine, in Ghetto Chic/Rap/Hip-Hop World, on cable reality shows, in Hollywood, get a little "uptight", then so be it. As it is, they are taking us over a moral Niagara Falls in a barrel and I for one find the social conservative element to it not only refreshing, but what our country needs.
