Speaking today at CPAC, Santorum actually said this (referring to the Obama contraception flap):"It's not about contraception. It's about economic liberty, its about freedom of speech its about freedom of religion, its about government control of your lives and its gotta stop!"For real. He said that.
The same Santorum who said he would invalidate all gay marriages.
The same Santorum who said that the right to privacy as it relates to having consensual sex with another adult in one's own home "doesn't exist in my opinion in the United States Constitution."
The same Santorum who said about contraception, "It's not okay. It's a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be."
The same Santorum who said he would "advocate that any doctor that performs an abortion, should be criminally charged for doing so."
The same Santorum who said this:
"They have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do, government should keep our taxes down and keep our regulations low, that we shouldn’t get involved in the bedroom, we shouldn’t get involved in cultural issues.Watch Rick's nutty remarks from CPAC:
That is not how traditional conservatives view the world. There is no such society that I’m aware of, where we’ve had radical individualism and that it succeeds as a culture."
As I watched the speech, live, I was thinking the same thing. I thought, "Does he not see the conflict in his previous words?" Hmm. I don't know what he was thinking. It was a good speech. Too bad he did not really mean it. I could never vote for someone who is unable to separate himself from his faith's rules/dogma while he was in office. He would be president of everyone, not just the ones who subscribe to his definition of morality. True morality is acting with love and trust towards you fellow humans, not condemning their choices within a free society based on personal liberty. Irony, much???
