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

Rick Santorum said the nation's colleges are promoting a "sea of antagonism toward Christianity" and "indoctrinating" its youth with ideals that support gay marriage, abortion and pornography.

Santorum called in to Tony Perkins' "Washington Watch" on Tuesday to talk about the 40th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade ruling. The conversation dealt not only with abortion but also included other "symptoms" that have changed the nation.

Perkins spoke broadly, saying pro-choice Americans represent a troubled country that doesn't choose life, meaning "That is to follow the principals, the teachings, the instructions of God ... You see that as you've been in Washington, D.C. There is a rejection of this idea of truth, and that there is a foundation or morality, which needs to be upheld."

Santorum agreed, adding that less young people devote themselves to Christianity. "If you look at the popular culture and what comes out of Hollywood, if you go to our schools and particularly our colleges and universities, they are indoctrinated in a sea of relativism and a sea of antagonism towards Christianity."

"Abortion is a symptom. Marriage is a symptom. Pornography [is a symptom]," he continued. "All of these are symptoms to the fundamental issue that we've gotten away from the truth and the 'Truth-Giver.'"

Santorum has long been against gay marriage and anti-abortion. When he was in the running for the GOP presidential nomination, he vowed to initiate a war on porn if elected. Santorum received his undergraduate degree from Pennsylvania State University, an M.B.A. from the University of Pittsburgh and a J.D. from the Dickinson School of Law but has criticized the notion that college is a critical entry point to the middle class.

"President Obama once said he wants everybody in America to go to college. What a snob!" Santorum said last February, according to the New York Times. "There are good, decent men and women who go out and work hard every day and put their skills to the test that aren't taught by some liberal college professor trying to indoctrinate him. I understand why he wants you to go to college. He wants to remake you in his image."

The Times highlighted a 2008 study that disproved the theory that going to college makes students increasingly liberal. The study found that 18 to 24-year-old students' ideals shifted somewhat leftward, but this was in line with normally occurring shifts in that age group regardless of education.

Go Frothy.....

The more you talk the more folks are repulsed...

[AuH20]

Those are the symptoms of the moral decline as opposed to the cause. Frothy is wrong.

I wouldn't say entirely. Heaven knows I can't stand this man. And his solutions for the problems are horrendous. But the Left has long been okay with pushing these things. In fact it makes a point of doing so because the more they're accepted the more the other side looks like stupid for being to "old fashioned." Every Left Wing movement has focused on destroying the conservative-traditional ideals, everything from sexual morals to economic morals. Its all part of the whole Left's philosophy of "There is no God but State. What State says is good." Destroy traditional morals and create new morals to replace them, morals that almost always have focused on making fulfilling sexual and physical urges. It bleeds into everything else. The major tool the Left uses in indoctrinating American in Left wing ideals is in fact college, the State indoctrination institution.

Social conservatives seem to want to get it wrong. All False flaggers? Is it really necessary to bring porn into a gay marriage conversation? Socons really should focus on the weirdest stuff the left is trying to sell, not the popular stuff that the people like. Neither the mainstream establishment Ds or Rs want the Liberty people, and they don't want the Socons to succeed either. So the socons are always saying something kinda buffoonish. Feminists and socons have alliances on porn issues. Apparently the feminists have warped the minds of the socons.

There is nothing WTF??? about porn or prostitution. Socons might want to focus on the WTF??? stuff, and not things that could fall under the category of "objectivication of women". We hear enough about that from the left.

Every time I read an article about him, it reads like an Onion article.

[MoneyWhereMyMouthIs2]

he vowed to initiate a war on porn if elected.

$#@! if we don't need more wars.

War = Politician speak for restrict liberty at great expense..

War = Politician speak for restrict liberty at great expense..

At great TAXPAYER expense. At great expense to bodies, minds & Loved Ones of Soldiers.

But to the "victors" go the spoils. Deciders who pay others to launch and execute wars are wildly enriched.

[fr33]

I don't think they could build prisons fast enough for a war on porn.

That's funny, I've been in college for over 2 years now, and have yet to hear the promotion of(or even mention of) any of those things. In almost all of my classes(my first year), hardly anyone even talked to each other, let alone participated in class discussions.

Santorum is more fixated on homosexuality than anyone I know who's out of the closet.

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.

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.

[specsaregood]

More likely a community college with a larger population of adults with real life issues to deal with and other students with a mind on getting ahead rather than spending time on peripheral issues.

As much as I've heard community college preaching on this forum for saving money, the reputation of city college in my experience is that it is completely worthless and barely anybody graduates. Hell, my gf has been at community college for almost 6 years and still doesn't have a $#@!ing 2 year degree. I'm not saying it can't be beneficial for some people, it does save some people money and allow them to move onto higher institutions and graduate at a lower cost, but I wouldn't put community college students as a group above university students. If anything the reason nobody talks about $#@! is because they don't give one.

None of that really has anything to do with my comment. Students living on a university campus going to school fulltime are going to have more time to get involved in activist issues than the majority of CC students with real jobs, families and households to take care of.

LOL, you must've went to school in Cali...I go to a state college(Gulf Coast State College). I've had only one extreme liberal professor-sociology. Big surprise there.

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.

I doubt federal government can be blamed for state corruption and...well...statism.

State governments are governments. I know theres a lot of strict constitutionalism on these forums who think just deferring everything to the state government will make things better. For the most part it wont. They are still governments and they will take and take and take, regulate regulate and regulate and eventually destroy.

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

I've taken classes at 4 community colleges and ASU, and these topics have never come up. Sounds like Frothy's just trying to stir $#@!. :P

He's right, but I went to different schools than you did. I would assume that there would be less leftist indoctrination in Community Colleges in the southwest than in small liberal arts schools in the Northeast. There is leftism in colleges in the Northeast.

[pochy1776]

Dear Santorum, If you want to win..... Stop talking.

[otherone]

I'm really starting to believe that these guys are False Flag candidates created by the left to disgrace true conservatives.

[cajuncocoa]

Just remember: this is the guy that Mr. Libertarian, aka Glenn Beck, endorsed for President.
