In reply to the discussion: Santorum regrets 'throw up' response to Kennedy speech [View all]calimary
(80,700 posts)59. Man, what an excellent post! About the "noisy gongs and clanging cymbals" of our time.
Sheesh, raouldukelives, this just nails it. NO ONE has seen a Christian politician in a long time. In reality, they don't exist - particularly in the GOP. They're as far from true Christianity as it's possible to get.
"Always having to fight for legislation to protect the least among us. Offering up the other cheek when someone strikes you. Casting off objects of wealth and limiting praying to private areas where nobody can see you.
Must be why I never see one. "
And you won't. Not ever. Not from these people with their shitty priorities and their new "sacrament:" selfishness. Sadly, they don't recognize that THEY and those they admire are the very ones whom Jesus threw out of the Temple.

He fully backed it because he was too stupid to understand Kennedy's remarks.
