"If you were Satan, who would you attack, in this day and age? There is no one else to go after, other than the United States. And that’s been the case for now almost 200 years, once America’s pre-eminence was sown by our great Founding Fathers. He didn’t have much success in the early days—our foundation was very strong, in fact, is very strong. But over time, that great, acidic quality of time corrodes away even the strongest foundations. And Satan has done so, by attacking the great institutions of America, using those great vices of pride, vanity and sensuality…"
This is Rick Santorum speaking in 2008 at Ave Maria University in Florida. As evidenced by this speech, Mr Santorum believes America was mired in less sin when slavery was in full legal effect and women couldn't vote. Not to mention the many other major ills that afflicted the nation--mass poverty, the lack of education among many, and etc.
It is well known that the United States was founded by high ranking Freemasons who used (and continue to use), among their symbols, the all-seeing eye of Lucifer, which appears on the back of the one dollar bill. Many believe those Masons to be Satanists, to include the Founding Father George Washington. Whether or not this is true, how could Mr Santorum, an educated man, one who professes to take a genuine interest in the United States, so miss the boat?
And is he so steeped in theological lunacy as the above speech seems to indicate? Clearly, the above speech indicates a dangerous neurosis in the order of the neurosis of George W Bush. Nancy Pelosi shares this neurosis. Just how many politicians are closet theologians with extreme (and highly implausible) views? We may never know. Even Mitt Romney keeps his views (if he is a geniune Mormon, then he is also potentially a dangerous lunatic) from the public. Mr Santorum, what are you thinking?
