Rick Santorum has decided to inflict himself, yet again, on our fair nation, running for President a third (I think) time. Now, while I'm not entirely certain what America did to deserve such an honor, clearly God is trying to punish us for some string of transgressions, because otherwise, His chosen candidate, Santorum, would have long ago retired to head up a DC-based family-focused think tank or sell panini presses on late night television.
Not that I begrudge Rick his chance. Although he's not very attractive as a candidate, he did do well last time around, and he has, at least, earned the right to try again. He's out of touch with the voter base (and not just on social issues), he's smarmy and spray-tanned, but the man does do well in Middle America. And that's enough to keep him on the trail. And unlike his compatriot Mike Huckabee, this time around, Rick Santorum won't be welcoming the Duggars,

Nor my husband’s, wardaddy. Teenaged boys’ minds are wired to focus on girlfriends...not sisters.
Maybe this is the result of the cult the parents belong to...I’m pretty sure dating isn’t allowed. Not that that excuses the boy.
It’s funny...we on the forum talk about the infantilization of kids these days, of how in past times teenagers grew up fast. When my father was five years older than Josh Duggar at that time, he was on a troop ship on his way to the European theater. My husband’s grandfather was sixteen when he married, I think.
But if it’s a teenager we want to protect, well, he’s an innocent child who didn’t know any better.
Walker is my brother in laws cousin.
You haven't been paying attention. I've said the whole family, including the victims, are suffering because a police report was UNLAWFULLY released to the public, gleefully reported by the liberals in the media and because people like you are piling online.
No, it's Biblical to say anyone can be forgiven of their sins and to point out men that wrote the Bible were redeemed despite DOING WORSE THINGS THAN JOSH DUGGAR.
You wouldn't know a Bible verse, though, from nursery rhyme.
Well .. I guess if I don’t agree with your analysis .. then I’m the stupid Christian. I wonder what GOD has to say about that .. and HIS opinion is much more valuable to me than yours.
And, I’ve been here for 17 years .. and it seems to be getting worse.
Duggar was 14 which is old enough to be in high school. He will most likely repeat and should be labeled a sex offender for life.
The only reason you’re expressing sympathy is because they claim to be upstanding christians which is not exactly true since they are followers of a cult.
No I think you’re the passive aggressive Christian
I don’t much comment on such things except about good works apostasy and feel good what culture war fake Christianity...say your average Mary Knoll or Lutheran
But thanks for warning me
Thank you. You proved... for some its better not to ask question and just to blindly follow.
Looks like the police knew about Duggar way back in 2002, again in 2006. Church leaders advised the parentS to send him to a camp of some sort. Seems some in the church knew, some police knew, family friends knew and the entire family knew so my question AGAIN ...”I wonder how long the FRC knew what was going on with Duggar....”
The Duggars (and those who are like minded) are obsessed with sex. It is dangerous to them, so they make it out to be the worst possible thing you can think about. Cast down your eyes and cover yourself up until you are married, at which time you can bang each other like rabbits for Jesus.
Wow ..!!! So much hate .. so little time.
Good luck with that.
