Ayatollah Santorum blames the President for a culture war

(CNN) - Rick Santorum continued his offensive against President Barack Obama while speaking Sunday night to a church in Georgia ahead of the state’s primary next month, portraying the president as a leader intent on starting a cultural war.

Ayatollah Santorum accuses Obama of starting a culture war the day after he accuses him of having a "different theology." Is hypocrisy a requirement for fundamentalist leaders? He is all about personal responsibility for single mothers in poverty.

and it is funny that he would deliver a speech in a protestant mega-church given his opinion of them expressed when he stated that Protestantism is outside of Christianity...

<snip>
The speech is from a 2008 event at Ave Maria College in Florida, where Santorum notes that America was founded upon a Christian philosophy but “the Judeo-Christian ethic was a Protestant one.” “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,” he concludes.

thrive on victimization. They are always finding someone or something they say are repressing them. Rather it's truthful or not they seem to need a foe in order to exist. I would think if their faith were as strong as they say they wouldn't need an enemy to keep their flock would they?
