Rick Santorum: Pursuing happiness means doing what God wants
Edited on Mon Aug-08-11 07:42 PM by marmar

from the American Independent:



TIFFIN — Speaking before a large gathering of 2nd Congressional District Republicans, former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum painted himself as the GOP’s best bet for defeat of Barack Obama in 2012, and continued his ongoing stump speech that defines key pieces of the Declaration of Independence for caucus-goers.

“Really the core and heart of our country is at stake right now,” Santorum told the crowd of about 200 gathered at Clear Creek Amana High School. “Our country transformed the world. Our country made the world a completely different place.”

It’s a message that has been a key component of Santorum’s public remarks across the state for the past several weeks. Before the birth of America, he says, the world was comprised of rulers and subjects. When the country’s founders put into writing the “truly revolutionary” idea that all people are created equal by their creator, the act itself, he believes, changed the entire global landscape — and specifically enhanced the human condition so intensely that for the first time in 2,000 years life expectancy jumped from 40 years to 80 years. .............(more)

4. Rick, God told me she wants you to give up your career
and wealth and go to Afghanistan and spread her word to the Taleban. She thinks you would fit in real well in a third world, oppressed country. Go forth and be happy.
