Culture War Showdown: Why We Need Santorum's Nomination

[Bible Studies with Satan]

Ever since the days of Saint Ronnie, we've been listening to the claims of a
"conservative majority" in this country. Whenever reality gets in the way of
this argument, conservatives blame their candidates--Dole, Bush I, McCain all
lost because they weren't "true conservatives", and/or lousy campaigners (which
of course some of them were), but NOT because the values of the rabid
conservatives are in fact a minority ideology. Well, I for one am tired of
hearing this argument rehashed. It's time to settle this question once and for
all, so we can take stock of the national will, and move in that direction. I
think that Santorum's nomination offers a way out of this impasse.

Say what you will about Rick Santorum, at least his political philosophy has
been consistent over his career, and utterly representative of the religiously
conservative "culture war" mentality. For those on the right whose fuzzy
memories recall Reagan as an embodiment of their values (he wasn't, by the
way), Rick Santorum qualifies as a political Second Coming. If Romney or
Gingrich get the nomination, then those proponents will be off the hook yet
again--since both are direly flawed as candidates, and of course neither is the
earnest representative of those values that Santorum is. If they indeed see it
as a culture war, then Santorum is the best champion they've had in
decades--even if we know that the only reason he might win the nomination is
because of the incredible weakness of his opponents.

Some of you worrywarts out there express concern that Rick Santorum might
actually beat Obama in the general election. I think that supposition is
absurd--Santorum is far enough out of the mainstream that he lost his Senate
seat in the 2006 election by double digits. His paleolithic brand of morality
is going to run off fiscally-conservative-but-socially-moderate Republicans
like an Ebola virus outbreak, ESPECIALLY women. He will be the Republicans' own
George McGovern--the bellwether Democratic candidate that proved that the
hippies WEREN'T going to take over the government, and drove liberals toward a
pragmatism that embraced Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and now Barack Obama. (NOT
to in any way compare McGovern the man--a wonderfully forthright and virtuous
man--to a dick like Santorum!)

My hope is that, as a youthful True Believer, Santorum will inspire a millenial
rise of the faithful to once and for all "take back our country"--which will
result in their decisive and humiliating defeat. This in turn will drive the
religiously dogmatic hordes back to taking solace in their religion in the face
of an unreceptive World, and praying for the Apocalypse so God will come and
right things Himself--the way they used to back in the pre-Reagan days. Such an
election will allow the Religious Right to remember that Jesus said this is
indeed a wicked and indifferent World, but that the faithful are still entitled
to their kingdom in their hearts and in the hereafter--but NOT in these here
United States of America.

So like I said, let's call it what it is, a culture war. Let the true right wing
have their champion, then let him have a shot. This is a country moving
persistently toward the legalization of marijuana and gay marriage, with a
vibrant pornography industry, more "illegitimate" and mixed race children than
ever, and a notable surfeit of actual church-goers. I'm ready to rumble--LET'S
BRING IT ON!!!

Summary: A homosexual Fraud goes by the name "Sexual Harassment
Panda" also "Bible Studies with Satan" and "Reverend Al." Another
classic usenet zoo monkey. Liars, once they have been exposed,
frequently revert to behavior most similar to a zoo monkey who sits in
the cage throwing feces at passersby but saying nothing of value. Note
that when you reply to a Proven Liar you encourage them to continue
lying.

Oops! Caught Lying:

Quinnipiac University Poll. July 5-11, 2011. "Do you think any
agreement to raise the national debt ceiling should include only
spending cuts, or should it also include an increase in taxes for the
wealthy and corporations?"
Spending cuts only: 25%
Also a tax increase: 67%

Gallup Poll. July 7-10, 2011. "As you may know, Congress can reduce
the federal budget deficit by cutting spending, raising taxes, or a
combination of the two. Ideally, how would you prefer to see Congress
attempt to reduce the federal budget deficit: only with spending cuts,
mostly with spending cuts, equally with spending cuts and tax
increases, mostly with tax increases, or only with tax increases?"
Only spending cuts: 20%
Mostly spending cuts: 30%
Spending cuts, tax increases equally: 32%
Mostly tax increases: 7%
Only tax increases: 4%

Reuters/Ipsos Poll conducted by Ipsos Public Affairs. May 5-9, 2011.
"The next question is about economic issues. As you probably know, the
U.S. budget deficit is currently about 1.4 trillion dollars. There are
a number of different solutions being discussed for reducing this
deficit. These are cutting existing programs, raising taxes, or some
combination of the two. Which approach do you think is best?"
Cut existing programs: 27%
Raise taxes: 9%
Combination: 52%
