Here's some hate:

What’s left in France became the guillotine. Ladies and gentlemen, we’re a long way from that, but if we do and follow the path of President Obama and his overt hostility to faith in America, then we are headed down that road.

Here's some bile:

Last month Santorum blamed same-sex marriage for plummeting rates of marriage across the nation. In November, at an event sponsored by the Christian group the FAMiLY LEADER in Des Moines, Santorum said gay marriage could doom the U.S. "Unless we protect it with the institution of marriage, our country will fail," he said.

Then there's the Santorum statement that babies that are a result of rape are a "gift".

Oh, and comparing gay marriage to bestiality.

And! blaming radical feminism for families where both parents work 'when they probably don't really have to'.

Santorum has pledged to repeal all federal funding for contraception and allow the states to outlaw birth control, insisting that “it’s a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be." You know, like, have 8 kids...

And then...the right to privacy is a made up right that the Supreme Court came up with and should be eliminated.

And he was not surprised "that the center of the Catholic Church abuse took place in very liberal, or perhaps the nation's most liberal area, Boston."

You know, 'cause those priests living in 'liberal' areas are more likely to rape little boys, since liberals have no values and stuff, and the priests are unduly influenced.

And he hates science. Or he doesn't. Or he does. I don't know. He doesn't know.

In 2002, Santorum called intelligent design "a legitimate scientific theory that should be taught in science classes. "By 2005, though, he had adopted the Teach the Controversy approach. He told National Public Radio, "I'm not comfortable with intelligent design being taught in the science classroom. What we should be teaching are the problems and holes ... in the theory of evolution." Later that year, Santorum resigned from the advisory board of the Christian-rights Thomas More Law Center after the Center's lawyers lost a case representing a school board that had required the teaching of intelligent design. Santorum, who had previously supported the school board's policy indicated he had not realized that certain members of the board had been motivated by religious beliefs. Santorum critics claimed he was backtracking from his earlier position because he was facing a tough reelection fight for 2006. When asked in November 2011 about his views on evolution, Santorum stated that he believes that evolution occurred on a tiny, micro level.

He's quite right... the genetic level

There you go, dragging facts into the argument...

Bwaaaa HAaaa Haaa!

[lookout123]

bwuahahahaha. that's awesome. how long was he your senator?

Now I have to admit, I agree with him that people doing the dirty with Fido is just wrong. Of course, if fido is somehow able to clearly and concisely articulate his consent and prove that he is over the age of 18 I guess I wouldn't be opposed to it anymore.

His views on bigamy and polygamy don't really interest me because I don't think the gummint should be involved in the arena of marriage anyway.

Except ho-mo-secshu-al. Cuz that's just wrong.

He was mine as well ... Thank goodness he is gone from here.
Extremists, from any party, should not be in power.
