THE LOONY RIGHT IN FULL FLIGHT

Last night Jon Stewart skewered Rick Santorum, revealing the Loony Right in full flight.

Rick Santorum derides Kennedy’s landmark speech opening the way for Catholics’ (including Santorum) public service as President of the United States (by declaring an ‘absolute’ wall of separation between Church and State) on the grounds that it meant that “people of faith have no role in the public square.” and that “only people of non-faith can come into the public square and make their case.” Oboy. . .

I wonder how Santorum will respond when asked which “law” takes precedence, the Bible or the U.S. Constitution.

Then he says: “’All men are created equal' -- that's a Christian value, but it's an American value.” That’s odd, because both the Bible and the Constitution sanction slavery.

Santorum: "The idea that the Crusades and the fight of Christendom against Islam is somehow an aggression on our part is absolutely anti-historical." Call me crazy, but isn’t invading a foreign country without provocation, slaughtering its inhabitants and occupying their territory the very definition of aggression?

Educators will be distressed to learn that Satan has taken over academia: “He [Satan] attacks all of us and he attacks all of our institutions. The place where he was, in my mind, the most successful and first successful was in academia. He understood pride of smart people. He attacked them at their weakest, that they were, in fact, smarter than everybody else and could come up with something new and different. Pursue new truths, deny the existence of truth, play with it because they're smart. And so academia, a long time ago, fell.” What does this guy want, a return to the Dark Ages? Educators, are you ready for your exorcism?
