What I find interesting is that the “Liberal” European countries that some conservatives love to deride mostly are part of Christendom.
England’s official church: Church of England
Denmark’s official church: Lutheran Church
Malta’s official church: Roman Catholic
Germany doesn’t have an official church, but there is a church tax that many people pay that normally goes to one of four main religions, although you can opt out.
Most French, Spanish and Italians identify as Roman Catholic.
You get the picture.
It’s better for Obama if Romney is the nominee, but it’s better for America if Santorum wins the GOP nomination. Ideology divorced of reason, compassion or compromise has been the GOP battle plan for some time, it needs to go, and I can think of no better flagship to put it on full display than the USS Santorum.
I have never seen a candidate so totally consumed with human sexuality. Is there any issue he doesn’t eventually connect the dots to carnal debauchery? It’s like Six Degrees of Rick Santorum, only it’s usually only two degrees.
Heh, I went to a Catholic college that asked Rick Santorum to give a commencement speech. He went into a long lecture blaming Columbine on working mothers*. Several students and at least one faculty member walked off stage. Later he was told he would not be welcome back. HA!
Yeah, insult a good portion of your audience. Smooth moove, Ricky.
*Originally I was told the subject was abortion, but when I googled for and article about it, I found out otherwise. Unfortunately, I’m looking but I can no longer find it. Shit. At any rate, the topic shouldn’t matter, I suppose. The fact that he pissed off a Catholic college should be enough.

[li]There are people out there who hate Obama so much they will vote for anyone to get him out of office.[/li][li]There are lots of hardcore Republicans out there who will vote Republican no matter who the nominee is.[/li][li]There are a lot of really, really stupid people out there who believe the drivel being spoon fed them by the likes of O’Reilly and Limbaugh.[/li][/ul]
[li]The Republican Party appears to have ceased to exist as anything but a vehicle for the most hardline conservatives. Should Santorum win the nomination but lose the election, I can almost guarantee you that the party response will not be, “Damn, maybe we went too far. How’s about we move a bit back more to the middle?” It will be, “Damnit, I knew we weren’t conservative enough! We gotta double-down on our hardline Christianity and tax cuts! Who’s next?”[/li][/ol]
He’s absolutely right! There is no such thing as a right to privacy in the constitution. The government has the right to tell you what to do in your bedroom, who to do it with, and when to do it. The government may monitor you to ensure that sex is for procreation only.
If we do not do this, then we are no more than animals rutting in the mud. Filthy animals screwing for pure pleasure. Groaning and moaning with lust as they perform in a wide variety of positions and maybe even with many partners at the same time, and with pictures and everything and Oh my God!!!
