Don't go to college. Santorum is good enough for everything.

    :confused::confused::confused:

    I'm honestly bewildered this dialogue could ever took place. How ridiculously off-kilt has the modern GOP become?

    ^^ and has a law degree.

    I don't think I've ever been frightened more at the prospect of a particular candidate winning than I am with this guy. The damage he could do, especially should he have a completely republican Congress could set this country back decades...if not centuries.

    So going to college is a "liberal" thing now?

    Well, I think it's fair to say that you only need a playground education to understand everything you need to know about Santorum.

    add it to the list of "liberal" things---burning in hell, having sex with multiple male and female partners, creating big brother dictatorships, watching anything non-Fox News, and going to college

    we got all our bases covered now.

    It's not new. I get paid to play music at a conservative Southern Baptist church. For years the pastor has been urging parents to seen their kids to private Christian colleges and universities so as to not have them be indoctrinated by liberal university professors.

    With the ways conservatives harp on "liberal indoctrination" you might think that college graduates are overwhelmingly liberal. But in reality, ideology amongst grads is split pretty evenly.

    I once heard Romney call Obama a Harvard elitist and Romney has TWO degrees from Harvard.

    Everything is relative. When you are more conservative than 99% of the population, the entirety of that 99% to the left of you looks like a liberal pinko degenerate.

    From my perspective, I've never heard of anybody being kicked out of a 'liberal indoctrination camp' for not being liberal enough - in college I was approached by bible thumpers regularly asking me yo their bible things. I have, however, known of people being kicked out of conservative bible colleges for not conforming to their conservative ideologies.

    I don't go to playgrounds now, but... League City was a tough place to grow up. Behad and others here can attest.

    And I just meant the concepts relevant to Santorum. I never actually saw Santorum on a playground.

    Oh, I don't know...

    There are several Middle Eastern and African nations that subjugate their women and keep the populous ignorant and uninformed through religion.

    Seems Mr. Santorum has been taking inspiration from our international friends.

    I haven't heard anything about t lately, but I remember reading a story from several years ago about Santorium's wife having a miscarrage, and Santorium having a funeral for the gooey pile of aborted fetus, and Santorium forcing his children to kiss it. Creepy.

    I'm pretty sure making your pre-pubescent children kiss the dead fetus is not in the guidelines. Talk about lasting trauma...

    "Upon their son's death, Rick and Karen Santorum opted not to bring his body to a funeral home. Instead, they bundled him in a blanket and drove him to Karen's parents' home in Pittsburgh. There, they spent several hours kissing and cuddling Gabriel with his three siblings, ages 6, 4 and 1 1/2. They took photos, sang lullabies in his ear and held a private Mass." :eek:
