This is very foolish indeed, because Santorum was forgiving liberals and not making a condemning statement on the American people, but only stating the truth that we are under the influence of evil ideas.
The emotional retort was to condemn the guy who was trying to have us forgiven in the eyes of God.
OKaaaayyy
I will try to explain Santorum’s remarks, but to those who choose not to understand, it won’t help.
Santorum was trying to avoid pointing a finger at the left, at the Democrats for the destruction of the culture. Instead he chose to speak in the language of the church and let those for whom the shoe fit, so to speak, wear it.
