A Santorum gem from 2006

Santorum: Europe is Dying

Rick Santorum spoke to the conservative Pennsylvania Leadership Conference last night. During his address he spoke about faith in the United States and compared it to the role of faith in western Europe. Here's what Rick claims is happening to western Europe because of secularism, "Those cultures are dying. People are dying. They're being overrun from overseas... and they have no response. They have nothing to fight for. They have nothing to live for."

On the other hand according to Rick, "More people go to church on Sunday in America than go to all of the sporting events in America held in a year combined." We're not sure where that statistic comes from or what it means, but Rick seems to find it reassuring. Here's the video:

Santorum's religious zealotry (lunacy) is part of the reason Bob Casey crushed him in 2006.
