Rick Santorum: Separation Of Church And State A Communist Idea

Posted by | December 1, 2014 16:00 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics Religion Top Stories


On a conservative conference call, former and likely future presidential candidate Rick Santorum says the concept of separation of church and state is a communist 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. That’s 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.

    There’s an annual competition going on now, the Funniest Celebrity in Washington. It’s a charity fundraiser. Any of these republicans could present this crap that they expect us to take seriously with a straight face, and they would get more laughs than someone who is intentionally trying to be funny.

    Idiot has obviously never read the Communist Manifesto. It is one of my favorite books. . .and I believe he hasn’t even gone as far to skim the preface of it. . .

    I thought the commie boogeyman was replaced after the dominoes forgot to fall by the wonders of democracy which never arrived and then suffered the pangs of socialism which never really arrived and now there is fear, that lovely emotion cultivated to its highest by l’il bush and subsequently maintained as the worlds true objective – be afraid and we will keep you covered.

    Right-wing Rick Sanitorium had an idea once… but it died of loneliness!

    Rick Santorum… I actually think he’s a mixed bag. Certainly his comments around gender liberation issues have been hateful and benighted; I don’t mean to give him a pass on that. On the other hand, Santorum actually has given voice to some genuinely populist ideas.

    I see the vile things he’s said as a manifestation of his ignorance, confusion, and generally poor role models in life. I think he doesn’t have a “bad heart.” Among all the Republican candidates he’s the one I’d most be interested in talking with.

    And look who is the latest Johnny Come Lately to the communist hysteria, it is the hipster prickster Rickster Santorum. He who fantasizes about men’s shaven scrotum’s and bare back rides in the park, behind the bushes, inside the outhouse, down by the lake.
