http://churchandstate.org.uk/2014/12/rick-santorum-separation-of-church-and-state-a-communist-idea-not-an-american-one/A listener on the call told Santorum that a number of the things that the far left, a.k.a. the Democrat (sic) Party, and the president is pushing for and accomplishing actually accomplishes a number of the tenets of The Communist Manifesto, including the amnesty, the elevation of pornography, homosexuality, gay marriage, voter fraud, open borders, mass self-importation of illegal immigrants and things of that nature. The likely presidential candidate replied that the words separation of church and state is not in the U.S. Constitution, but it was in the constitution of the former Soviet Union. Thats where it very, very comfortably sat, not in ours.
Of course, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, among others, referred to the separation of church and state when explaining the amendment which they drafted....
When you cavort with Al Sharpton, you certainly arent into racial reconciliation, that sort of sums it up right there, he said. You surround yourself with folks who are not healers but dividers, this president has been the divider-in-chief on so many fronts. You had hoped, as you mentioned, Bishop (Jackson), you hoped that on this front it was an opportunity for the president to do something transformational, that he couldve been that figure that couldve made a real difference in racial reconciliation, couldve made a real difference just within the black community and he chose to take a different path, he chose to use it as a wedge issue as opposed to an issue that was one that he said he wanted to accomplish when he was going to heal the country. He has done anything but.

Is it because they get away with twisting their own religion that they think they can twist history itself?
All very delusional and very troubling, but still they are the vast Minority.

Jefferson was also familiar with (and approved of) the writings of the great French philosopher of the Enlightenment, Denis Diderot, who once wrote: "Man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest."

We know an Asian doctor who was teaching a US medical school class and mentioned Winston Churchill. The students said he was an American president, when the doc asked them who he was.

1. the amnesty
2. elevation of pornography (on to hovering billboards?)
3. homosexuality
4. gay marriage
5. voter fraud
6. open borders
7. mass self-importation of illegal immigrants
All this time I thought it was about economics!!

(1,033 posts)Their "base" isn't enough to win an election, and yet they are swinging HARD to their "base".
Whoever wins the Republican nomination will have ZERO chance in the general - they will have to account for months, if not years, of insane positions.
But, of course, I shiver when I remember this particular nut job carried my state in the '12 primary.
