Ayatollah Santorum the Sanctimonious (ASS)

• www.lewrockwell.com/Thomas J. DiLorenzo

In a January 18 interview with Glenn Beck Rick Santorum decided to compare his view of the Constitution with that of Ron Paul. His statements can only be described as delusional and totalitarian.

Santorum first claimed to have read an eighteenth-century dictionary that defined happiness as "to do the morally right thing." This is how the founding fathers defined happiness, he said. This is Santorum’s definition of "happiness," not the founding fathers. It’s a good bet he is lying when claiming to have read an eighteenth-century dictionary. (But I suppose anything is possible with a man who brought his deceased infant home who died two hours after birth and slept with it after showing it to his children, as Santorum admits to have done).

The freedom to do whatever you want to do – as long as you do not harm anyone else or interfere in their equal freedom – would "lead to libertinism and lead to chaos" said Sanctimonious Santorum, who has also pledged to do what he can to put an end to contraception if elected president. Contraception changes "the way things ought to be," he says. Santorum is self assured that he, and he alone, understands "the way things ought to be" and pledges to use the powers of the state to forcefully impose his "understanding" on the entire country.

 First the pro-abortion article and now this about someone's dead baby. Give me a break!

What Herr Santorum fails to grasp is that 'Freedom' includes the individual, personal choice to 'make mistakes'.  This is 'how we grow' as humans.

In a Santorum World, everyone would act as they are SUPPOSED to. 

Look up the definition of 'automaton' and you would get a good idea of what that world would look like - until it dies from sheer boredom, that is.
