Santorum actually scares me more than does Romney. Santorum is arrogant about it. He just “knows” better than the rest of us and will gladly legislate our “morality” for us. He has even gone out of his way to say so. (The Kennedy, testimonial)

He truly believes that the separation of Church and State are not “absolute”.

Well, let me confess a little secret.

I don’t believe in “separation of church and state” either, and I’d be ALL FOR legislating Christian morality!

IF IT WOULD WORK. It won’t. Never has, never will. God didn’t design His world that way.

The best we can do is to legislate *freedom* and *personal responsibility* to a nation still, for now, composed primarily of Judeo-Christians, and let God use His people and their freedoms to further His cause.

The founding fathers knew this, because they read their Bibles. It’s not like this principle is a secret or anything.

Of the declared candidates, only Newt even approaches this ideal. I’ll take the best I can get.
