"He is imposing his values on the Christian church. He can categorize those values anyway he wants. I’m not going to,”lied Republican candidate Rick Santorum to an assemblage of Tea Bag idiots immediately after having categorized President Obama's "values" and his "agenda"as being
“not about you. It’s not about your quality of life. It’s not about your jobs. It’s about some phony ideal. Some phony theology. Oh, not a theology based on the Bible. A different theology,”
Yes, some phony ideal is on the agenda. A phony ideal involving liberty, Democracy and a constitution that never mentions God or gods or scriptures of any religion and declares that there shall be no religion in government. Science is a phony ideal to sanctimonious Santorum too because we all know that Senators Jesus, Mary and Joseph agree with the oil companies and that the president's job, as 'Rick' told the 'baggers, is to keep gas prices down (and the subsidies up, no doubt.)
No sir, all that Washington, Jefferson and Madison secular prattle is phony and if we're looking for full employment, a decent quality of life and personal liberty you must turn to The Christian Scriptures which forbid us to charge interest on a loan or obtain a divorce or marry whom we will or even to enjoy sex when it isn't only for making babies. Some churches I won't mention have interpreted it to demand a king chosen of God rather than an elected government, but don't bother Rick with that. It's already on his agenda.
So why is this sex-fearing, woman hating, half-witted fake theologian; this lame-brained Longinus and meretricious medievalist mewling about theology while pronouncing Ernulphian maledictions on what he pretends are President Obama's values, cursing them one by one? Because theological statements don't have to be true, you see; don't have to be supported by evidence and are easily and frequently used to do horrible things to people. Cognitively impaired, confused and historically ignorant "conservatives" seem pre-lubricated to receive ecclesiastical wisdom without discomfort and Faith invents facts as well as it rejects them to the despair of brother Ockham.
So Obama, who thinks a Harvard Law degree makes him as good as a white. Christian man, agrees with Justice Scalia that religious freedom does not legalize acts done in the name of religion and yet, conservatives still want to shove the notion that he's a radical, Liberal, Christian-hating Sodomite Commie up the national hoo-ha and true to form, the 'baggers assume the position and take it.
How can any curse suffice?

Ohmigod! I think you've surpassed yourself here, Capt. Indeed, what a delicious piece of snark.
Speaking of sex, I think this post just gave me an orgasm. Thanks to Leslie for steering me over here.
The level of outright stupidity has reached new highs... Not only do Santorum & his ilk not understand the foundations of a secular liberal democracy, they believe those same foundations to be exactly the opposite of what they are!
How can a nation survive when a small but significant part of the electorate believes such abject nonsense?
Well If I were the praying sort, I'd be praying that Santorum is the one. The fact that he's done as well as he has in the primaries and caucuses just emphasizes that the system is being worked by default. The saner voters are staying home, not having a champion and the looney fringe of the looney fringe is supporting the freak show.
If it's Obama Vs. Santorum, it's another 4 years for Obama, which - and no matter how you feel about him - has gotta be better than 38 seconds of Mitt, Rick or the Newt.
Oh, and welcome Jayne -- I think you just made me blush.
