Santorum takes a hard turn to the right!

Presidential candidate Rick Santorum has decided to move even farther to the right and has moved out there on the very, very edge – right out on the ledge!

Is Rick Santorum nuts – or what? The Washington Post editorialized this morning that “Santorum shows he’s the wrong man to be President.”

“When he so misreads Mr. Kennedy, when he perceives a war that does not exist, he shows a lack of appreciation for the first amendment. When he accuses President Obama of harboring a ‘phony theology’ – ‘not a theology based on the Bible – a different theology’ – it seems he does not understand the line between policy and religion. Mr. Santorum later explained that he was not questioning Mr. Obama’s faith, only his environmental policy. But theology means ‘the study of God and of the relations between God, humankind and the universe.’”

I hope you caught the above in all its humorous glory! Mr. Santorum was only questioning Mr. Obama’s environmental policy. This man is living out there in La-La Land.

Here’s how Nia-Malika Henderson opened a story in the Washington Post on Sunday…

DETROIT — Rick Santorum has opened up a new and provocative front in the political culture wars as he boldly tries to cast the race for the White House as a battle between the secular and the religious.

In back-to-back speeches over the weekend, the candidate described President Obama as “a snob” for focusing on the importance of a college education and disparaged the idea of a separation between church and state by attacking President John F. Kennedy, who made it a key point in his 1960 campaign.

Santorum said that he wanted to “throw up” after reading the late John F. Kennedy’s famous speech to Catholic bishops back in 1960.

Santorum insists on driving himself further and further out on the fringes of politics – something that’s often called “political suicide.”

The above quoted passages are not even the worst of his remarks. Santorum has had a brain glitch such as the ones usually only associated with Representative Michel Bachmann.

Here’s how Santorum went on as if dizzy and unable to use his brain…

“I don’t believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute,” he said. “The idea that the church can have no influence or no involvement in the operation of the state is absolutely antithetical to the objectives and vision of our country.”

“True happiness comes from doing God’s will,” he said as the audience at Central Baptist Church cheered and gave him a nearly minute-long standing ovation. “It comes from not doing what you want to do, but doing what you ought to do.”

Uhm!
Do you think, Mr. Santorum, if you don’t mind me asking, that it may be God’s will to see to it that President Obama is reelected? To achieve His purposes it appears that He has affected your brain and stopped it from working any more. God’s power is immense, Mr. Santorum! He has struck you dumb! Dumb!
