Can't be, Romney is severely conservative.

I beg to differ, it is Romney who is the Republican “O”. Heck, he’s barely Republican at all. I never got the sense that Rick Santorum had any 0-like characteristics.
“...freedom as specified in the U.S. Constitution is not absolute, and that government policy must take a position on birth control, abortion, and private activities by consenting adults if the government deems them immoral...”
He actually SAID that? That’s something the libs should have jumped-on, but I didn’t hear about it. I’m surprised Mark Levin hasn’t brought that up yet.
The trashiest BS article on FR in a long time. Should be taken off.
Agree “naps.” This is total bull dressed up to look cerebral. Seems like Zot bait to me.
Heard Santorum on the radio today on Hannity and he just got really tiresome to listen to....like an ankle biter yap yap yapping... On and on..and on.
If he gets the nomination then I’ll vote for him but it will be an anti-Obama vote, not a pro-Santorum vote.
With the communists taking over the media I wonder if we’ll ever get a really good candidate again.
The use of the word fundamentalist to describe people of faith and spirituality is a sure sign you are dealing with someone who is anti-Christian and probably a leftist trying to pretend to be a Conservative.
Does the author think that killing innocent unborn children is “fun and happiness”? The the author believe that lying, violent crime and attacks on religion are “fun and happiness”? Does the author believe that running up trillions of dollars in debt to provide money to the politically connected is “fun and happiness”? Do he believe that the drug cartels and armed thugs that prey on law abiding citizens provide “fun and happiness”?
I am sick and tired of these false narratives and the dishonest attacks on people with moral values and principles.
You are right. The Constitution was not meant to be absolute in the sense used in the article. The Constitution was intended to limit the federal government’s powers to those expressly enumerated. The states were and are entitled to legislate on all but that very narrow set of issues.
You need to give examples....this guy (the author ) did and he makes a good case
There’s a word for Republicans who either ignore, or timidly stay away from social issues: RINOs.
Can't be, Romney is severely conservative.
You said...
“turd burglars”
LOL!!!
This is the stupidest thing I have read in a while. Conservatives literally don't care what others do in private. It is when they demand my money to fund their disease spreading health care needs and their uncared for children and their drug treatment and their general refusal to take responsibility for anything or contribute anything to society.
If someone promises never to steal my money they can do whatever they want. But it never works like that. They are irresponsible and talk about their right to be decadent. Then they expect me to fund the consequences of what they do.
Rick has a few O like qualities, but I’ll admit, this piece is over the top. Don’t care for RS much, but he’s not our “Obama.”
No, freedom is not absolute. You are not free to kill, steal, rape, or enslave your neighbors. Therefore, you are not free to abort your neighbors.
To argue that absolute freedom to do whatever the hell you want is “conservative” is nonsense. Libertarian, maybe.
And as we have already seen, once a sufficiently large number of citizens of any country refuse to discipline or govern themselves, then you are in the Land of Hobbes, and there will soon be a dictator and a police force to MAKE you do what they want.
It’s either self discipline or discipline from above—i.e., dictatorship.
Actually, RS has made numerous statements in his political career about sex being for procreation only. Now, while he has never indicated he would govern with that as an issue, he has stated it, and thus the article is not totally off base in bringing it up.
Not totally in correct context either.
No, just another paraphrased POS. Goodman is referring to Santorum's recent and past comments that freedom as specified in the U.S. Constitution is not absolute, and that government policy must take a position on birth control, abortion, and private activities by consenting adults if the government deems them immoral.
