Reply #138: Gabriel Michael isn't what's worrying me about Santorum [View All]

[jmowreader]

According to the same article, Santorum teaches classes in Catholicism in his office to Republican senators only, is a leader in applying religious dogma to government institutions, and altered his child's death certificate from "20-week-old fetus" to "20-week-old baby." (Actually, the term "baby" makes more sense than "fetus" in this case because he wasn't stillborn, he lived two hours after birth--and as I've always said, once it's born it's a baby. Still, the fucker altered an official government document because he didn't like one of the words on it.)

Personally, I don't care if he has a hundred pictures of his dead child. I don't care if he paints a huge picture of him on the side of his car, gets Gabriel Michael's portrait tattooed on his chest, has a huge birthday party every year for Gabriel Michael, names his house the Gabriel Michael Manor or anything else he does to mourn. But dammit, I don't want to live in a fucking theocracy and Santorum is attempting to turn this country into one. That is what we need to be worried about.

If you want to ridicule someone's grief, leave Rick Santorum the hell alone and go to http://www.yateskids.org/funeral_service.php. Yes, this is the transcript of the funeral service for the five children of Andrea and Russell Yates. Rusty Yates wonders how such a thing could happen. Well...being a fundamentalist asshole who knocked up his wife after the doctor told him his wife would go off the deep end if she had to take care of another kid might have something to do with it. Being a fundamentalist asshole who sold his house and moved his four-child family into a Greyhound bus after he heard that the Bible says to live simply might have had something to do with it. Being a fundamentalist asshole who wouldn't lift a finger to help raise his kids after he heard the Bible says you need to stay within your roles (and the role of the woman is to raise the family, while the role of the man is to cause its size to increase) might have had something to do with it. Russell Fucking Yates (who published his wife's medical records on the Internet) needs the shit kicked out of him, but since I'm not close enough to do it myself all I can do is say mean things about him.
