Rick Santorum rears his ugly head again

[es35]

Former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.), who’s reportedly gearing up for another Republican presidential campaign, told a right-wing audience this week that “the words ‘separation of church and state’ is not in the U.S. Constitution, but it was in the constitution of the former Soviet Union. That’s where it very, very comfortably sat, not in ours.”

My response to this asshole is that it was not nearly as comfortable as Hitler would have been in the Vatican.

1. Then he needs to tell the Supreme court that they cannot tell people to take an oath to

tell the and place their hands on a bible. or have the president get sworn in by using the bible. whats good for the goose.

2. Idiot

He keeps up with his BS .... maybe he should start listening to his, "Infallible" Pope, telling his faithful flock and the church to get out of politics .... except for measures that help the poor. Maybe he should be denied the Sacrament of Communion, or be Excommunicated for disobeying the Church's teachings. The Pope needs to get on this! Get these sidewinder Catholics in line.

3. No fetus in a jar this time?

I leave it DUers to look that one up. And yup! He did that. The idiot douche nozzle.

5. Well, "Frothy", you know what else is NOT in the Constitution? GOD!

You can also add
"Marriage"
"Innocent until proven guilty"
"Jury of your peers"
"Electoral College"
"Right to a fair trail"

But, "Frothy", you want to know something that IS in the Constitution? In fact the Framers thought it was so critically important they began the Second Amendment with it ...

"A well regulated militia ..."

Why do you radical right-wingers always just want to quote the second half of the Second?

6. And something else NOT in the Constitution ...

the "Right" to privacy!

10. Oh, you've missed out

A winger has told me that the reason we have the freedom to keep and bear arms is to keep the militia in line!

[Fearless]

7. Who is this person you speak of?

I've heard of separation of church and state before... His name... Eh... Let me Google it.... Ohhhh damn! I guess he must be very frothy... Or perhaps things aren't true just because their written somewhere... And perhaps then the opposite is also true. Maybe some things can be true without using those exact words... Right?

8. Thomas Jefferson stole the term from the Soviets? Who knew?

9. Well dicky ricky, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,.." is there.

First Amendment. Check it out.

The actual words, "Thou shalt be a dickhead" aren't in the Bible either, but that doesn't stop you from being one.

11. I wish Man on Dog Santorum would just shut the fuck up and realize

there is no way he'll ever be nominated by ANY party in this country. That's how extreme he is.

[GOLGO 13]

12. I love Ricky! He's the dreamiest of all the GOP.

This is the type of repuke we should hope gets nominated. The further ahead he gets into the pack, the rest will have to follow & imitate just to keep up. A more toxic tool we could never hope for.
