Santorum

I have trouble understanding why people - especially women - would support Santorum given he has spoken against:

• abortion
• birth control
• gays in the military
• women  anywhere near a war zone
• he was never in the Armed Forces but is willing to decide who can serve. He would re-instate "Don't Ask, Don't Tell". It infuriates me that folks who avoided service in the Armed Forces can have the gall to presume to run the Armed forces! 
• he would "enforce" the laws against pornography. I was under the impression the FBI and Postal Inspectors have been enforcing these laws all along...
  

I was appalled when former Senator Santorum said he almost vomited when he learned that President Kennedy spoke in support of "separation of church and state" [or words to that effect]. This sounds like he wants to join church and state. That would be a theocracy. Given his anti-rights stands and statements, it seems to me that former Senator Santorum wants to establish an American Theocracy.

One of the tenants of Robert A. Heinlein's "Future History" series is a "backwoods Preacher" named Nehemiah Scudder was elected President of the United States in 2012. There was no 2016 election as President Scudder and his followers created a Theocracy.

I've  been told it would be impossible to establish such a Theocracy. I  can see this from the simple fact there are so many sects of Protestant Religion. While we have large established groups, many of  these Preachers are independent players. It would be very easy for a minister to  find a place to meet, advertise for a congregation and go into business as a church. It would be hard to unify such disparate folks but a Theocracy does not need to be declared.

The United States government could in effect become a Theocracy if the correct laws were passed. You could even see the President who got these laws passed leave office to a more liberal person. It would take the cooperation of the Supreme  Court to  keep these changes...

I have trouble understanding why people would support former Senator Santorum given his views,. I have to wonder if these voters even know about them? His views were not mentioned in either of the two Kansas newspapers I read...

"The sometimes frothy, usually slimy, amalgam of lubricant, stray fecal matter, and ejaculate that leaks out of the receiving partner's anus after a session of anal intercourse. Named, by popular demand and usage, after legislator Rick Santorum because of his homophobic political statements."


"That move was about as slick as santorum".
