Since you're not a monarchist or traditionalist, what other system of government do you stand for?


I may be naive, but I think Santorum is a sincere Catholic. His neo-con ultra-capitalist "tea-party" statements are a strategy to win in the Republican primaries. He's a grandson of an italian coal miner and is proud of that. As one friend from Pennsylvania has told me, he appeals to Catholics, the "Rust Belt" States and the so called Reagan democrats. He supports manufacturers and the masonic establishment of the Republican Party doesn't like him.

Of course he's not perfect, but he stronly oposes abortion and stands for a cultural fight against promiscuity, contraceptives, secularism... That makes him a milion times better than most electable politicians in Europe.
In its classical, probably pre-Jacksonian sense.

Republicanism in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Critics of the U.S. call it a liberal democracy, which is true now, but the non-American critics of the U.S. largely seem unable to distinguish between how we (used to) conceive of democracy and republicanism. Actual people in the U.S. who espouse this political ideology in its classic sense seem to be as rare as, say, Carlists are in Spain. American republicanism was a short-lived idea before it was infected by the democratic (i.e. Marxist) ideals in, say, the middle and latter parts of the 19th century. To me, commies love the word "democracy" for a reason.

Santorum, I don't doubt his faith but I'm extremely wary of politicians of either of the two major political parties. Mistrust politicians and government is no longer one of the virtues that is too overly stressed in my country.

Santorum seems to be a good man but that doesn't mean he'd be a good President, but this is just my own opinion of him.
