Santorum-off the deep end...

Santorum: Obama Has Put America On ‘The Path’ Of Executing Religious People By Decapitation

SANTORUM: They are taking faith and crushing it. Why? Why? When you marginalize faith in America, when you remove the pillar of God-given rights, then what’s left is the French Revolution. What’s left is the government that gives you right, what’s left are no unalienable rights, what’s left is a government that will tell you who you are, what you’ll do and when you’ll do it. What’s left in France became the guillotine. Ladies and gentlemen, we’re a long way from that, but if we do and follow the path of President Obama and his overt hostility to faith in America, then we are headed down that road.

I just keep my mouth shut. Stirring up trouble doesn't help.

Some of the things that people discuss with great seriousness here are just jaw droppingly stupid. One man I know actually, truly believes that Obama is the antichrist and that he has destroyed this country.

It does no good to argue. When he asks me if I still support Obama - which I do - I just smile and nod my head. I don't back down I just don't engage.

Sometimes when I read responses on the internet I just can't believe what people believe. Some of that stuff is so ridiculous it leaves me speechless.

I don't often run into any true liberals.

I think a lot of the conservative ideas around here are due to lack of education. And home schooling by the religious right.

The likes of Rick Santorum, Palin or the myraid constant source known as the GOP will provide the current flavor of delusion. After Bush the lesser the next one will be almost impossible to recover from I fully expect a smouldering wasteland. I just wonder if the next generation of criminals will be prosecuted?
