Santorum: Obama Thinks ‘Radical Islam’ Is ‘A Good Thing For America’

Posted by | September 2, 2015 22:00 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics


Rick Santorum is playing the “racial Islam” card against President Obama.

Santorum made the comments while talking to radio host Jan Mickelson about America’s sheltering of refugees from war-torn countries in the Middle East.

“I can tell you, as president of the United States, if we’re gonna take refugees from Syria or refugees from Iraq or refugees from the Middle East, the refugees we’re gonna take are the people who being persecuted over there and the people who are being most persecuted over there are obviously, obviously Christians and Jews, not—” Santorum said, before being cut off by Mickelson, who said “Christians and Jews are the back of the list.”

“They’re being crucified over there, they’re being burned at the stake, and they can’t get in the country,” Santorum responded, talking about Middle Eastern Christians and Jews. “And we bring in folks who are potential radical Islamic sympathizers. Again, it’s the silly idea and notion—and I remember being in a debate with Howard Dean at Northwestern a couple of years ago, and we were asked a question by a student, ‘What’s the greatest virtue of the United States of America?’—you know what Howard Dean said? ‘Diversity.’ But that’s what they believe.”

Santorum said that some people, including Obama, believed that admitting immigrants who “share none of the values of what made America a unique and great country,” including those sympathetic to “radical Islam,” was a “good thing for America.”

“They believe that America will be better off if we bring in people that are nothing like and share none of the values of what made America a unique and great country,” Santorum said. “And let’s be honest, I mean, you know, if you look at radical Islam it’s about as antithetical to the American first principles as anything you’d want to see. But in Obama’s, in President Obama’s mind, that’s a good thing for America because America is flawed and needs to be changed and needs to be more influenced by these other cultures and other religions.”

    “Give me your tired, your poor,

    Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

    The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

    Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,

    I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” –
    Santorum must not care much for the Statue of Liberty – who this country was founded by and what principals it was founded on – probably none of the Republican candidates do

  5. The Original Just Me September 3rd, 2015 at 00:02

    A lot of people think a commitment order for Santorum would be GOOD thing.

  6. Tommie September 3rd, 2015 at 02:09

    His words of wisdom is just astonishing, we need more like him! Hahaha!

  7. fahvel September 3rd, 2015 at 02:26

    are people like this piece of trash really as ignorant as their words or do they believe there is a shred of substance to the noises they make? This kind of gibberish is beneath a kindergarten school yard recess.

      Ever been to Texas?

    • Larry Schmitt September 3rd, 2015 at 06:43

      They don’t actually listen to what they say. That’s our job. And to answer your question, no, they are not ignorant. Ignorance is lack of knowledge. These fools know better, but choose, for their own profit, to act otherwise. They are willfully wrong.

    Santorum said. “And let’s be honest, I mean, you know, if you look at radical Islam it’s about as antithetical to the American first principles as anything you’d want to see.
    1. Swap Fundamentalist Christian w/ radical Islam
    2. American first principles = bible-thumpin Christian

    • Larry Schmitt September 3rd, 2015 at 06:46

      That’s the basic issue that none of these people can grasp, that radicals are the same, no matter what side they’re on. The radical “Christians” want to do the same thing to this country that ISIS wants to do to the Middle East: turn it into a theocracy. Only difference is, the god in charge goes by a different name.

  9. bpollen September 3rd, 2015 at 06:06

    Well, if we wouldn’t have let in either Italians or Papists, there wouldn’t BE a Senator Santorum.

    • Larry Schmitt September 3rd, 2015 at 06:48

      And at the time, the people who were already here thought the Papists (since italy was almost completely Catholic, they didn’t make any distinction) were “…about as antithetical to the American first principles as anything you’d want to see.” To use his words against him.

      • bpollen September 4th, 2015 at 03:54

        He’s also 25% Irish Catholic. That’s the main reason I included both Italians and Fish-eaters.

    Who??? The drip??

    The face of deperation.

  12. Roctuna September 3rd, 2015 at 09:19

    America accepts refugees and Obama approves our our policy. Refugees could be muslim, therefore they’re terrorists. Obama approves of terrorism and wishes to bring down western civilization and oh yeah, he hates christians too. Only frothy Rick could consider that a train of “logic”.

  13. William September 3rd, 2015 at 09:38

    “Santorum said that some people, including Obama, believed that admitting immigrants” ….

    “They believe that America will be better off if we bring in people that are nothing like and share none of the values”

    Lacking anything real, Santorum has resorted to that tired old right wing-wacko-radio trick of telling us what other people think.
    Try it for yourself. Tune in to Limbaugh, Levine, Savage or any of the other nut-balls and listen for it.
    You’ll hear phrases like “What they are thinking is, what they believe is, what Obama thinks, what he wants you to think, what Obama really means is…..etc.
    The pied pipers of mouth breather media will seldom if ever quote anybody complete and in context. What they will do is tell you what someone else is thinking.
    The scary part is how easily the trailer dwellers will become outraged because somebody told them what someone is “thinking”.

    • MBJR September 3rd, 2015 at 10:28

      I do listen and you absolutely nailed it. What’s even scarier, its not just trailer dwellers. I know very educated people that fall for the “right wing-wacko-radio trick”. I’ve said it before, this has been done before with great success, Germans were persuaded through propaganda and not all lived in trailers.

      Well said!

    Seeing him in cowboy boots cracks me up. The last thing anyone thinks about in regards to Pennsylvania is cowboys.

      He right about the description of our Democrat, Islamic, Socialist President.

      • cwazycajun September 4th, 2015 at 10:47

        hey ed what do you raise and eat on that farm of yours??? idgits…I guess in this case you really are what ya eat

        • edsfarm September 4th, 2015 at 23:51

          What’s really scary is that liberals are actually walking the streets instead of being in an institution. If you think this country is better off since this President, that would have trouble running a local Y.M.C.A., took office, then this country is in real trouble!!!

          • dbtexas12 September 14th, 2015 at 13:15

            Wow! You don’t get out much, do you? If, heaven forbid, we had elected Romney and the country was in the same shape as now, you and the other Republicans would be crowing about the success of the new administration. We do have more trouble since Obama came on board. But, it’s because all the delusional bigots have crawled from beneath the trash pile and exposed themselves for the irrational sociopaths they (you) really are. I fear for our country.

  17. cwazycajun September 4th, 2015 at 10:52

    poor poor Christiansthere soooooo victimized sooopersecuted will they ever get over it..haveing more churches in this country than starbucks being able to run this country according to their biblical ideology or ateast try to can pray anywhere they want and demand everyone else do the same thing yeah and all those taxes their conmen oh sorry preachers pay dam them I’m almost feelin sorry for them now….asshats each and everyone of these whining pissy little dingleberries

    OMG, it is so difficult to tell which of the GOP candidates is the craziest. They are all “way out there in the ozone.” I thought that the 2012 candidates were bad, and they were bad, but this group has them beat for being the craziest that I have ever seen. Where do they come from? Where did they go to college? OMG, they are unbelievable!
