Rick Santorum: Redirect global warming effort to fighting gay marriage ‘for the survival of our country

Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum argued over the weekend that President Barack Obama should redirect the energy that he has been putting into fighting climate change into promoting heterosexual marriages “for the survival of our county.”

In an interview on Sunday, Santorum told the hosts of Fox & Friends that the U.S. Congress should pass laws to require Supreme Court justices to face elections and to force them to “take all appeals” because of their ruling that effectively legalized marriage for same-sex couples.

“The better solution if you’re going to put effort into try to control the judiciary is by doing things that limits their jurisdiction or requires, for example, the Supreme Court to take all appeals,” he explained.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson wondered what Santorum would do to stop the institution of marriage from “collapsing” after Friday’s Supreme Court ruling.

“The most important power that a president has — and obviously I’m running for president — the most important power the president has is the power of the bully pulpit,” Santorum opined. “Can you imagine if instead of if the president spent all his time talking about global warming, if he talked about the importance of marriage and fathers and mothers taking responsibility for raising this children in healthy homes?”

He's basically saying that gay marriage is an existential threat to human life on Earth, whereas global warming isn't.

Yup. Fruit-loopy.
