Tema: Opinions on Rick Santorum

Here is the family tree of American neoconservatism:



The Neocons: An Illustrated Progression

To me, Santorum is not only a neocon but also another example of the failed Moral Majority that was founded and made famous by the late Jerry Fallwell. I don't care that he's Catholic, Catholicism is more palatable to me than Mormonism, but I do slightly care that he's just a rather transparent shill for the religiopolitical right in the U.S. The leadership of the Republican Party is pretty much little different than the leadership of the Democratic Party (i.e. American arm of international communism) as both are obsessed with the status-quo of liberal democracy (the fruit of the French Revolution).

The best thing that any politician could do to make the U.S. a more godly place would be to respect the particular ideas of the Founders, which was the idea that religious freedom exists so that the different denominations of Christianity can be practiced side-by-side without conflict, i.e. at the time of the country's founding you could, for example, find Quakers in Pennsylvania, Methodists in New York, Catholics (frequently Portuguese) in Massachuests, Puritans in Rhode Island, etc. The "wall" of separation that Jefferson mentioned, i.e. the separation of church and state, existed to prevent the favoring of one denomination over another in, I believe, the federal government.

Interesting topic!
