Rick Santorum Blames Gay Marriage, Abortion And Porn Ideals On College Indoctrination

[dannno]

I find it ridiculous that evangelicals act like there is a "war on Christianity" when the exact opposite is happening. How many television channels are out there that are solely dedicated to Christians. How many radio stations out there? How often can you drive around without seeing some billboard or running into someone passing out some pamphlet tell you about how "Jesus saves." How many times have you had someone knock on your door telling you to turn to Christ? How many times do you hear someone "thank Jesus their Lord and Savior" or their award speeches and when they score touchdowns in a football game.

Yet that isn't enough, the evangelicals are claiming THEY are the victims here and that those evil gay people are trying to spread their culture. This whole claim that colleges are now joining in on this "war on Christianity" is just another example of this. Go onto any college campus, I GUARANTEE you there is a christian chapel on campus. There is probably no Temple, Mosque, or Synagogue but almost always a Christian chapel of some kind. Yet that isn't enough, more must be done because there is a War on Christianity you see. I say this as a Catholic person myself, born and raised.

Drop the victim's routine. It doesn't add up.

Where do you live? Sounds awful. I don't know that we even get a Christian tv channel here, there's honestly barely any sign they exist. I'm in a more progressive area near so cal tho.

I was actually flabbergasted to find out that one of my roommates we found on craigslist went to church (AFTER living with him for a couple of months..). I was outside one Sunday morning and he was coming home in a suit, and I was like, "where the fuck did you just go in a suit on Sunday??" and he was like, "Uhh, church.."

It's a good bet that he is IN he closet.

And I am not insincere when I say that it appears that he is desperate to come out. I feel sorry for him to an extent.

And Ron Paul strongly disagrees with you.

Part of the "War on Religion" has to do with the Christians who use their religion to try to dictate (using the gov't) who you should love, who we should kill and how you should live.

Perhaps Christians should take note of Jesus' actions--he inspired the religion without a single law being passed, a cent in tax money or any attempts to tell you who you should and should not love. It just might go a long way.

Wtf, are you in a private school or something?

I would say LGBT issues were the biggest push when I was in school. Everybody was already pro-choice. Porn was just something that every guy utilized and a couple of activists may have been against the 'degradation of women' or something, but nobody took them seriously.

But the thing is, gay marriage is a no-brainer. There is no reason the government shouldn't allow gay people to get married, what a tyrannical notion. Even if I were against the idea of gay marriage, I still wouldn't use the government to ban it. I would probably vote w/ Ron Paul at the federal level because states should be allowed to ban it, but it's still a tyrannical thing for them to do.

I never understood why its okay for State Governments to be oppressive as long as the federal government isnt. Government is government. It shouldnt be oppressive on the Federal or State level.

Ding Ding. We have a winner!

Except that 50 competing governments adds a whole new wrinkle. But with federal intervention we've seen that all 50 states can become corrupt and indistinguishable from the federal menace.

Thank you Rick Santorum.

He's party right but the media and hollywood are more to blame

Why can't individuals be to blame? State institutions are only forcing committed individuals to have abortions. It might be claimed that the SEC forces some to watch pornography, but I don't know how you leap to the idea that going to college makes you may people of the same gender.

What if it turns out that individuals are weighing options and finding that the ideas Santorum supports simply don't have a lot of merit?

It's not "ok" at all, it's just a better alternative to letting the feds control the states.

I don't care if homos want to get married, any less than I care if heteros get married. I don't give a shit if you want to kill your unborn child, just don't sugar coat the idea with the "It's my body, it's my choice" bullshit sauce. I love porn. LOVE it. loveitloveitloveitloveit. I've never once set foot in college classroom as a student.

Frothy, you closeted PRICK - you're wrong again, asshole!!! Go back into your hidey-hole somewhere, enjoy your gay porn, and get the hell out of the news. No one cares.
