Santorum is being bashed for his religion due to the fact the left feels they can make him appear as a fanatic who will seek ot impose his faith on the nation at the expense of all others. The fact is this is nothing more than another case of seeking to distract, distort, divide and divert away from the actual position that those who have the best chance of beating Obama in Nov so the progressives can get another member of their band – from the left or right – into the White House.

Remember that is what matters to the media and the radical members of the Progressives; to get another Progressive President who will finish the ,move to make us into a Socialist Progressive nation and the blood will flow fully then.

I would agree that the presstitutes focus on the wrong issues when asking questions. Stop picking on the Christians unless you’re going to pick on others, too, says I.

It would be far better if they asked well predicated questions which are crucial to everybody, such as the following question:

Economics has become a very complicated subject which is both confusing and frustrating to many Americans who do not understand such terms as Keynesianism. Both Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan highly praised Austrian economists such as F.H. Hayek who is widely recognized as one of the most brilliant economists of the 20th century.

Question to Rick Santorum and then Ron Paul: What school of economic thought do you subscribe to and which economist do you most highly regard as having a plan which is favorable to free-market capitalism; and how would you incorporate this particular, economic philosophy into the job creation which is so desperately needed.

Question to Ron Paul: What economic book do you most enjoy reading at night and how would you use the knowledge therein to change in the current economic system?

The media is a joke. The only people who would care about non-issues like that are blind to what’s really going on.

I liked how Newt took the media out to the woodshed for biased news coverage concerning Catholicism, Christianity, and why there are problems with adoptions in Massachusetts. I don’t recall the mainstream media replaying those statements of Newt.

Unforeseen consequences to “social engineering”.

Did you see where a reporter asked an Obama supporter how they felt about him being a Keynesian?  The person shouted back, “He was born in Hawaii!!”  I love an educated populace.  It was hysterical.  There could be no mistake.  They had a sign that said Obama is Keynesian.

I’m trying, only trying, (without success), to imagine President John Kennedy running for president, *Today*.

Sorry, but if Rick Santorum wants to go that far, how good of a president would he be?   I think the only ‘conservatism’ he has is the fact that he’s so religiously fixated.  He’s proven to be a big spender and has sided against the people and for unions at various times…  when will people wake up and realize that he’s a big government progressive with ‘God on his side.’

BAN SASNTOTUM–ANOTHER BIG MONEY GRABBER ALSO- ANOTHER-COUNTERFIET REPUBLICAN THAT HAS HIS HEAD UP HIS PELOSI– WHAT A BIG SPEND RECORD THIS BOZO CARRIES.HE REALLY SMILES WHEN HE LIES..  ID RATHER VOTE FOR A GIRRAFE AT THE ZOO.

We only have giraffes at our zoo. Maybe you should vote for a “girrafe”.

It only works today if you are a liberal Catholic and have no morals, like Pelosi…

back when Ron Paul first got into this government job. the only thing the had in zoos were dinosaurs.

If Santorum bans condoms, what will he wear when it’s raining?

JFK was a Catholic, a Democrat and from sundry reports, he and especially Teddy used condoms. Teddy even rented a Latin American whore house for the night for use by himself and his companions. Of course, none of this ever made it past Democrat news reporteds’ lips during campaigns . The real question for Mr. Santorum is will he maintain strict separation of Church and State. Will he avoid the unilateral moral crusades that Bush 2nd funded, eg combating AIDS in Africa. My emphasis is: America first, for Americans.

What do you have against us Girrafes?

The Barack administration,  does things without the consent and approval of Congress. Any other President Usually just cant make rules and laws up as they go like barack has done. Nobody is going to ban birth control and nobody wants to. 

Here in Ireland, they are known as O’Girrrafffes. Eamonn, Dublin.

Here in Ireland they are known as O’Girrrafffes.

You can’t spell.

You can’t spell.

Here in the US we now have an Irish President.  He’s from the O’Chit family of Galway Hookers.

I like that… “Presstitutes”!!!!  Ha!

That’s just cheap talk, Rick cannot just issue a mandate without pasing it as a bill thru the house and testing the Constitutional grounds of the law.  If our esteemed fat butt incumbents had half a brain they too would know that the Mysery Man is out of step and they can force his hand at every turn……takes guts to act like you know something.

I watched that debate, and while GS’s question was not clearly stated, evidence by the fact that no one seemed to understand what it was — I did understand the question, probably because I wasn’t under the pressure of having to answer it.  It wasn’t about contraceptives — it was about whether the Constitution includes a right to privacy and if that alleged Constitutional right trumps State’s rights.  Do your homework, Connecticut did try to ban contraceptives in 1965, it’s called Griswold v. Connecticut.  The alleged Constitutional right to privacy then became the foundation of the Roe v Wade decision.  But the question was, does this alleged Constitutional right to privacy trump State’s rights?  I say “alleged” Constitutional right because I don’t believe there is any such right in the Constitution. I believe State’s rights trump this alleged right, and as Romney said, if he was governor of any state that tried to pass a law to ban contraceptives, he’d veto it, not because it violates the right to privacy, but because it would be a stupid law.  And to be fair to GS, he did face Santorum and specifically say he knew that Santorum was not trying to ban contraceptives.  

Was a good debate.  As usual, the press proved they are the most ignorant of the real issue.  But the candidates were on their game.  I loved Newt’s question like someone mentioned about how the administration has war on religion and this has many consequences.

Snow, this is a serious subject.  Don’t you see, if odumbass’s ma would have used contraception, we may not be in the pickle we are in.  That’s where the rubber hits the road…. sorry I had to insert that one… I mean put it in…. I mean…. 

Rick, Rick, Rick.   Not all peoples has rhythm, honey.

Oh, land!   : )

Yes, Tony, and there are probably Catholic hospitals which have had funding cuts be-

cause they won’t perform abortions.

Or Biden, Robert.  Wonder if JFK would have folded like brother, Teddy?

Stephanopholous has so many ties to Obama and cronies he should not have been allowed to conduct the “so called” debate.  His questions were inane as was his attitude.
The way that debate was held I couldn’t pick a winner.  He even made Paul look good.  Of course, Paul’s view on defense was the same as Obama’s so perhaps that was the idea.

How many questions did GS ask about unemployment? The record debt? The Constitutionality of Fast and Furious? 

Why didn’t he ask the candidates whether they would defy two Federal Court orders like Obama has done? Or the Constitutionality of bombing Libya while defying the War Powers Act?

ANSWER: GS wanted to create a controversy on a topic that no one is even thinking about. If GS can’t defend Obama’s actions, what better strategy than to try to throw a monkey wrench into the oppositions campaigns with superfilous (sp?) questions!

That’s right.  The state/government can not interfere with the free exercise of religion.  Government is banned from blocking religious prayer or expression anytime or anywhere.  Just read the 1st Ammendment (ie. Congress shall make NO LAW regarding the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or…..).  Therefore, by ‘plain English’ laws banning prayers, crosses, menorahs, nativity scenes, etc. are themselves UNCONSTITUTIONAL..   Take an English course.  Law schools are apparently a waste of money.  How many of you saw “NO LAW” in the Ammendment?  I rest my case.  Tell A Friend

That’s an easy one to answer.  Remember the most “holy’ one taught us how to respond.  That is to just explain that the decision is “above ones pay grade”.  Remember, Obama used that response to avoid answering the abortion related  ‘when does life begin’ question.  The media let him slide with that cop out response.   Tell A Friend!

If Rick wanted to give a serious answer he could respond with how devout Catholics feel.  That is he should not ban contraception, but,  to be fair not force Catholics to pay for it through tax funded support.  Just as the government should not force the Church to perform same sex marriages or abortions.  Because in America the “State’ can not interfere with the free exercise of religion. Government is banned from blocking religious prayer or expression anytime or anywhere. Just read the 1st Amendment (IE. Congress shall make NO LAW regarding the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or…..). Therefore, by ‘plain English’ laws banning prayers, crosses, menorahs, nativity scenes, etc. are themselves UNCONSTITUTIONAL.. Just as laws can not force churches to perform gay weddings and abortions.  Take an English course. Law schools today are counter intellectual.    How many of you saw “NO LAW” in the Amendment?    Now that’s the true intent of Jefferson’s ”Separation of church and state” comment to the Danbury, CT Baptists.   I rest my case. 

Catholic bashers just don’t know what they are talking about, but they keep talking

That is the funniest thing I’ve heard all day, and boy did I need a good laugh after this day! Thanks!~

I have to say this, unpopular as it may be, but I’d love to see Newt as President. No matter what people’s beefs with him are, he seems to me the only one who stands out among them as far as his multitude of ideas and one can tell, if you’ve listened to him,
that he has given a lot of consideration to a wide range of solutions and asks us as Americans that we grow our citizenry and become involved at the local levels and in other participatory ways, because one man can not fix the things our Country faces. Glenn has said this as well. It will take us doing the things that we are good at, and more. Glenn has said that we make a mistake if we were to vote in someone we ‘like’, or could be comfortable having a beer with. Glenn is right about that. I think that this is the first time I have disagreed with Glenn about something; about Newt. You  guys on here who love Ron Paul, I feel the same way as you do when Glenn and S.E. Cupp  disparage Newt. I feel the same way about them doing that as you feel when you hear some things said about Ron Paul. Glenn’s giving his opinion on Newt is not the problem. I’d like to hear his reasons, but when Glenn just jumps all over his case, I’m not able to learn the reasons. I know that Newt is not perfect, who is? But the thought of those Lincoln-Douglass style debates with the Anointed One is something I’d PAY to see, and I haven’t got extra money for other than life’s essentials, just the thought of seeing that arrogant prick taken down at long last would be a treat so irresistable that I’d collect cans and bottles to see it happen.

I agree. They speak out of ignorance.

A few weeks ago, I heard an economist on television being interviewed.  He was asked what he thought led us to the economic breakdown of our social programs.  His reply was the breakdown of the family unit and not having more children.  With close to 40% of the population living as single parent families (mostly women), we have more families dependant on welfare and medicaid.  That coupled with more married couples opting out of having children, or having only 1 or 2 children, we cannot sustain a future social security or Medicare program. 

Santorum’s mission is to restore the family unit, encourage people to stay together as a married couple, commit to raising their children in a wholesome household in an effort to build productive citizens that will have a strong work ethic and continue to provide those social programs that have helped so many people in the past 60 years. 

The use of condoms does nothing but propagate the spread of STD’s at epidemic level in this country.  I hardly think that it should be considered a “religious” matter as much as a health matter even though faith based groups are the only ones who have had the courage to bring the facts to the forefront.  Similarly, faith based groups have backed adult stem cell research which has yielded some 70-80 cures, while our federal and state governments have spent wildly on backing embrionic stem cell research which has yet to produce one cure.  I doubt these fact based opinions should draw criticism of anyone’s religion since, after all, religious freedom is guaranteed by our constitution.

For today, and today only, I will begin my comment with this small statement…

I have decided to no longer respond to any comments about my statements
because more often than not, it turns into an ugly battle that is
riddled with lies, hate and ugliness.  So, from now on I will simply
give my opinion, where I see fit, to express my views about gb’s
opinions, “truths”, lies, etc…  Feel free to attach any comments you
would like…It is your right to do so…even if the comments are based
on evil lies, petty assumptions or hatred.

That being said, lets look at this specific topic, shall we…

This is a pathetic and hypocritical story.  gb continually beats people over the head with Christianity when discussing the Constitution, the Founders, etc…

gb and his cult have made the blatant point that religion is a major factor to consider in a President.  This area is also important to many other Americans.  If it were not, there wouldn’t be groups on the right who use religion to lie about, attack and label President Obama to be a “non-Christian”.

gb is obviously trying to steer the Santorum bandwagon.  In doing so, once again, he is showing his stubborn idiotic side.

glenn questions the topic for Santorum’s question during the debate.  Quick update beck, Santorum is the one who continually preaches about his religion, religious beliefs, etc…He is daring people to ask questions in this area.

So, glenn, quit trying to make Santorum a martyr.  Santorum is the man focusing on his religion and/or his beliefs.  He should be able to answer questions about it!!!

Why don’t you just go away you liar and Phony Soldier. Everyone would understand that move on your part. Your hate and ignorance is not winning any converts here. You’re the butt of jokes and ridicule.

Please see a professional about your fixation on little children strtlk/mtclayboy.

You’re a lying sack of crap. You denied serving on a submarine, and knowing what SSBN was. I posted your words verbatim.

You’re a Wikipedia sailor and a lying puke.

Here’s your “one on one” you little puke of a man.

1. As mtclayboy you claimed that you served on a BOOMER. As strtlk you claimed not to know what a Boomer or a SSBN was “I don’t care” were your exact words. You also stated that you didn’t know where Bangor, Wa. was which is where Boomers (submarines) are fitted for duty.
Any real Submariner would know that. You didn’t!

2. You then changed your story and claimed that you were on a BOOMER. You lied.

3. As mtclayboy you claimed that you had damaged your ears while serving on a Submarine. As strtlk, you claimed that you damaged your ears while serving on a submarine.

4. As mtclayboy you claimed that you joined the Navy and served for five years on a submarine but according to the timeline you gave that was proven to be a lie. You lied.

5. As mtclayboy you said that you were a Fireman. As strtlk, you claimed you were a Fireman.

6. As mtclayboy and as strtlk, you posted the same bigotry and hate against Glenn Beck almost word for word even using the same spelling and grammatical errors and focusing on the children. I’ve posted many of them here already.

Are you catching on everyone? He’s a liar plain and simple and nothing he claims can be believed.

Folks, I have the posts of these two Phonies and have posted just a couple to prove he is a liar and just makes up stories about his Military Service. His latest story is right out of Wikipedia. His classified VMS crap is also right out of Wikipedia and US NAVY.mil. I’m a member there.

He wants to take me on “one on one” when he’s already proven in his own words that he’s a liar and a fake.

Flag the idiot so he can come back as another loser like his other fake ID “Vinny” where hes a 10 year Army Sargent on another classified secret mission that he can’t talk about.

There you go loser, “one on one” only I backed up my posts with facts and your own words as proof. Why don’t you have the balls to admit to your lies, tuck your head up your A$$, take your bigotry and hate and Phony Soldier ID and leave us honest people alone?

Once again, Here you are caught in your lies. These are your words verbatim:

strtlk said: on Hollywood elites want to be taxed more 09/24/11 07:51 PM

“1. No idea where Bangor, WA is. I thought Bangor was in Maine!
2. What the heck is a “Boomer” or SSBN? You know what…I don’t care!
3. Reminding people that glenn was a dead beat dad is a factual statement about him, not his innocent children. Nice try though slime ball.
3. Either talk about something relevant and stop this, you are jason bourne crap!”

Caught in your lies strtlk.

Thanks for proving me correct.

Folks, strtlk/mtclayboy has been caught in his lies, He’s a lying sack of crap.

The question was completely irrelevant. No one one the stage had ever said they would do anything of the sort. It was a biased and completely stupid question to ask.

It’s like asking if sex with snowmen should banned under federal law or left up to the states. No one in America cares about either question.

Question for strtlk:  You obviously despise Glenn, so why are you here?  Really, why are you here?  You’re certainly not swaying anyone over here to your side, so why don’t you go to a board somewhere with like-minded people so you can all be miserable together?  The only other reason I can think of is you like the abuse you get when you post. You’re desperate for any attention, even negative attention. You poor thing.  I bet you’re abused at home.   I’ll pray for you.

Why is it that a person makes comments and if you don’t agree or like them, you go after their motive and you make fun of their comments.  That isnt constructive or informing it only demeans you.

It’s more fun with people like him on here. It gets boring agreeing and giving high fives to everyone who thinks like you do. Just my opinion.

J Kennedy was a Catholic hypocrite.  Hardly the best example of a christian.  Other than a lucky call with regards to the cuban missle crises and his desire for america to seek the moon, not the best example of a non-progressive president either…

If you have to go to the extent of qualifying yourself as you did in your first paragraph, i would think it is not worth accessing this site and making a comment….Sad

I think there was a legitimate privacy rights vs 10th amendment states rights question buried in there. Contraception was just the vehicle by which it was asked. There probably was a better way to ask it.

Both parties get an F rating in my book on privacy rights.

Heads up on a possible rumor I heard that Joe Biden might resign or obama may let him go,talk is that Hillary will replace him???. Question this so progressive agenda will be carry on and they have their con-artist pull one his famous slight of hand trick 1.) to get woman vote not on merit just because she a woman first woman vice president 2.) It will shift the spotlight off obama and his progressive policy failures! 3.) If obama know he won’t win & and his usefulness to advancement of progressive agenda is done as vice president Hillary have better position to run from and even better if obama resign and Hillary is acting President I believe this slight of hand trick if does come about it’s to focus on Hillary and not obama and his progressive policy failures! Maybe the progessive party want now for Hillary to carry the torch of inplementing the progressive policies obama can do no more but to hurt their cause & movement ?????

Because I don’t understand people like you. You hate Glenn, yet you join up on his site and then make perpetual negative comments on articles you might not necessarily even read. For instance, I really dislike Nancy Pelosi, but I certainly wouldn’t go on a pro-Pelosi website, sign up and then do nothing but make negative comments about her. A waste of time. Unless, of course, I liked the abuse I would receive from all the pro-Pelosi people. Maybe that’s it. You like the attention. Whatever.
