"We all know that this country was founded on a Judeo-Christian ethic but the Judeo-Christian ethic was a Protestant Judeo-Christian ethic, sure the Catholics had some influence, but this was a Protestant country and the Protestant ethic, mainstream, mainline Protestantism, and of course we look at the shape of mainline Protestantism in this country and it is in shambles, it is gone from the world of Christianity as I see it. [...] Whether its sensuality of vanity of the famous in America, they are peacocks on display and they have taken their poor behavior and made it fashionable. The corruption of culture, the corruption of manners, the corruption of decency is now on display whether it’s the NBA or whether it’s a rock concert or whether it’s on a movie set."

Just wanted to point out that removing access to contraceptives in order to discourage premarital sex is like taking away seat belts to encourage safer driving habits. Ans what big surprise?!! Teen pregnancy rates higher in red states than blue.

And in a bit of delicious irony, the Christian candidate is the least charitable out of all of them.

Ever classy, he has stated that Obama's agenda not based on the Bible. Insinuating that he's a Muslim maybe?

I don't know if you can really count teen pregnancy rates as such. Perhaps more teens in red states choose pregnancy over abortion. I'm sceptical about charitable contributions also. What it should read is taxable contributions that you can write off on your taxes. For example, Obama donated his nobel prize earnings to charity but wasn' t able to claim it as a deduction. The government works in mysterious ways. That being said I do think it's a mistake for Santorum to focus on religion. We need someone with a positive unifying message who is going to bring the country together, not divide us further than we already are. Sometimes when I watch Obama's speeches lately, I see little glimmers that he's finally trying to do that. I also see Romney doing that on occasion. I'm hoping whoever will be elected in November will continue on that path.

Santorum is being honest about who he is and what he thinks. If he did not make his position clear now, he would regret it later because the Liberal media would use it against him. Obama has all kinds of crap in his background like Communist relatives, Muslims, and Racist churches. Why do you not bring that up? Santorum has a long way to go before he is anywhere as near the bottom as Obama. I find it hard to cut Catholics much slack as Christians considering their zombie-like allegience to the Liberal / Democrat / Socialist Party. I am not doubting that Catholicism is a Christian belief. I am doubting that most American Catholics are actually believers in their own faith, if they can compromise their beliefs by voting for someone like Obama, who turns on them at the first opportunity.

Santorum is showing us what he believes and being honest and I'm glad. Because you're right and if we're ever going to convice the social right that they're causes are dead, their time has passed it would be easier to show them after America rejects them in a way that they can't deny. We didn't somehow beat them because Democrats are better moderates and liberals than Republicans but because that far right social beliefs have been rejected by America as a whole.
