Santorum: Obama's agenda no less a theology than religion

[Shankapotomus]

Santorum is trying to appeal to evangelicals while simultaneously giving a backhanded slap at religion by calling Obama's agenda theological and implying a theological platform is insufficient.

Rick, you're whole friggin' platform is grounded in theology. You are the last person who should be calling someone else's ideology "too theological".

What are you, an idiot?

1. Frothy: It takes one to know one!

4. And he knows it well

It's not Obama going around saying America was founded as a Christian nation. It's you, Rick.

It's not Obama saying there should be prayer in school.
It's you, Rick.

It's not Obama saying homosexuality is unnatural and therefore gay marriage should not be allowed based on his religious beliefs.
It's you, Rick.

2. Not an idiot, a zealot.

The religion crazed are incapable of seeing anything as separate from religion. To them, any daily activity is religion.

Look at how many of them claim atheism, the lack of belief, is a religious belief.

He sees everything around him as religion because to him, everything is.

3. Everything is religion with them, including science, atheism, and chicken nuggets.

By their definition, I had a holy bowel movement that was the equivalent of the epiphany Paul had on the road to Damascus.

5. he is baiting obama to make the campaign about religion...not jobs or corporate theft nt

6. Speaking of Hitler, as Santorum is, I remember hearing the original on the

radio spreading his gospel to the German people and the rest of the world. (And yes, I am that old).Unfortunately the rest of the world let him rant much too long. I will not accuse Santorum of starting WW3, but his rhetoric fills an auditorium.

10. That must have been frightening

to witness that monster rise day by day.

If not in results, I can't help seeing certain similar psychological and tactical political patterns in the GOP. The worship of the over aggressive male ethos. The nationalist fervor. The focus on immigrants. Aren't they aware they are mimicking a lot of the pre-power psychology and tactics of the early Nazi movement.

Just to clarify, I'm not saying they are Nazi's or as bad as Nazi's but I literaly can't help seeing similar psychological and tactical patterns.

7. that is a rhetorical question right?

[Shankapotomus]

8. Yes?

9. It sounds silly, but this kind of shit is teabagger gold.

[pinboy3niner]

11. Yep. It's a dog whistle to the wingnut notion that Obama is a Muslim.

Just like his statement that Obama's theology is not based on the Bible.

It's a cynical ploy to boost his numbers with the extremist minority of the GOP electorate.
