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.
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.
There’s a word for Republicans who either ignore, or timidly stay away from social issues: RINOs.
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.
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.
We choose to limit government’s power, and we choose to decide when and where we limit it.
Santorum is not my #1 pick, but this article doesn’t make much sense to me. Abortion is murder, which puts it outside the realm of personal preference.
Birth control is a moral choice we leave to individuals to decide. But we don’t pay for it with government funds and we don’t force people to provide it if they don’t want to.
As for “fun”, you are welcome to define that how you will, just don’t demand that the government pay for it, again. As for gay marriage, this is something that doesn’t exist, has never existed, and will never exist. If you want to cohabit with your pal, do what you want. Don’t ask me to pretend it is what it isn’t. If it isn’t a marriage according to our 3000 year old moral code, then don’t ask me to pretend it is.
Wrong, Romney is the Republican equivalent of Obama!
Thats right Tinky Wink, I'm gonna git you with my big fat AK!!! I hate liberals.
The media has for many, many years (back to the 1960's or beyond) portrayed the GOP as champions of governmental control over private, bedroom, activities.
The charge is absurd, but the label has stuck; like it or not.
It is a well-understood political liability for a GOP candidate to appear as if he wants his sense of morality to be law of the land.
PING!
I absolutely agree with that.
The federal government has no role in any of the issues mentioned.
A statist is a statist.
Silliest headline yet.
I get the same feeling with this article that I do when I see a new Freeper show up with a name like “SuperConservative”. Why do I have a feeling that “Capitalism” Magazine is actually run by corporatist libertarians?
