Santorum's Foreign Policy In Black And White
April 29, 2011

Rick Santorum, the former Pennsylvania Senator, social conservative conspiracy theorist and possible presidential candidate, stood before a small audience of reporters Thursday and laid out the case for calling America Number One, and the nation's enemies pure evil.

In a long address aimed at bolstering his foreign policy credentials, Santorum took aim at what he characterized as President Obama's refusal to accept American exceptionalism and the White House's propensity to appease "evil."

"We should have no illusions about the extent of this threat," Santorum said. "Radical Islam is extending its tentacles from Africa to America. Understanding this conflict is crucial to understanding why Jihadists are trying to kill us," Santorum said. "They know what we stand for -- freedom and equality."

"In the past two years, has ignoring or appeasing this threat been successful?" Santorum asked rhetorically. "Have offer of talks and negotiations deterred the threat? Did our willful abandonment of the terms relating to Sharia doctrine to violence produce a less virulent and less aggressive enemy? No, no and absolutely not," Santorum continued, answering his own questions.

The Wabbit of Jihad is extending its tentacles from Africa to America. "Africa to America." Hmmm... what an interesting choice of words. You know when we've reduced Santorum to dog whistles, you know we've got 'em on the run.
