Robyn E. Blumner column: What a President Rick Santorum looks like

Lately, we've been hearing a lot about what Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum has not been saying.

For instance, Santorum says he was not comparing President Barack Obama with Hitler when he told an audience last week in Georgia that what's at stake in the coming election is analogous to the Nazi threat during World War II. Santorum warned that America initially stood by while Britain was being bombed by the Nazis, because Americans thought: " 'He's a nice guy. It won't be near as bad as what we think.' "

Santorum also denies questioning Obama's Christianity during a campaign stop in Ohio when he said the president's agenda is about some "phony theology" not "based on the Bible." Santorum later clarified he was referring to Obama's environmental world view "that elevates the Earth above man."

Apparently concern over the planet's health and dwindling resources is an affront to the Bible.

But rather than focus on what Santorum has not been saying, let's look at some of the candidate's policy positions. No gray area here. These are the stated policy priorities of a President Santorum.

1. Santorum is ‘all-in’ on the conservative side

Environmental protection gets in the way of Republicans making money. Rick is in favor of his friends making money in the here and now with complete disregard to the future.

2. I'm imagining a barren, nuclear-blasted hellscape

dotted with conservative Christian militias who execute atheists on sight.
