Does Rick Santorum have a Satan problem? Specifically, is it a political negative for him that the Drudge Report all day Tuesday has highlighted a story about a 2008 speech he gave at Ave Maria University in Florida in which he said America is under assault by Satan? “Satan is attacking the great institutions of America, using those great vices of pride, vanity, and sensuality as the root to attack all of the strong plants that [have] so deeply rooted in the American tradition,” Mr. Santorum said in that 2008 speech. Audio excerpts from the speech indicate that Santorum said Satan had successfully subverted academia first, followed by mainline Protestantism, which he said is “in shambles,” and then the culture. Politics came last. “The body politic held up pretty well until the last couple of decades,” he said in the speech. RECOMMENDED: Rick Santorum: Top 7 culture war moments As to whether this hurts Santorum’s electability, we’ll just note that lots of people were making fun of this Tuesday on Twitter. We suspect, however, that they’re people who were not going to vote for Santorum in the first place. On the other end of the spectrum, his committed supporters may shrug off the references. Because he was speaking in a religious context, he was using religious language, and “Satan” as a metaphor for lots of things is a pretty common usage from pulpits of a Sunday. Will swing voters, or new fans of Santorum whose attachment is not deeply rooted, be put off? That’s the real question. Furthermore, the fact that this speech is surfacing now, at such a crucial moment in the campaign, should trouble Santorum’s advisers. Where did it come from? The most likely prospect would be from the camp of an opponent who has the money to do opposition research and needs to slow Santorum’s rise. You can supply your own names there – we don’t have to. If his opponents have this, they may have other stuff, too. Santorum is recent days has already spent a lot of time explaining what he meant when he referred to President Obama’s “phony theology.”

Join the winning side! We have cookies, you know. And devils food cake! -------------------------------------------------------- From Is Santa Claus, Satan? LOL! I've been to that site before. There is comedy gold there! -------------------------------------------------------- If the cake's got that yummy whipped icing, count me in. And sprinkles too! It never ceases to amaze me how weak their 'god' is. It's just one defeat after another. Everything is just one huge FUBAR fiasco. But, I believed that crap too at one time. -------------------------------------------------------- I don't know. But after an evocation or two, I'm sure he could. ;- )
I'm seeing why the citizens of Pennsylvania handed this assclown his walking papers: Little Ricky is a scatterbrained lunatic.

Somebody ought to tell the truth about the Bible. The preachers dare not, because they would be driven from their pulpits. Professors in colleges dare not, because they would lose their salaries. Politicians dare not. They would be defeated. Editors dare not. They would lose subscribers. Merchants dare not, because they might lose customers. Men of fashion dare not, fearing that they would lose caste. Even clerks dare not, because they might be discharged. And so I thought I would do it myself... Robert Ingersoll

So talk to your children before it is too late! Tell them that Santa is no kindly old man; he is an evil demon. And next time your family sees some propped up gin-soaked vagrant in a Mall wearing a red suit with white furry cuffs, set a good example and witness for the other deluded people waiting in line. Loudly, rebuke him! Announce to all the children in the store "Not only is Santa a lie, he will ravage you sexually, drink your blood and drag your palpating carcasses down to Hell with him!" It is only through setting a good example that we can put the Christ back in Christmas.
"The real deal is this: the ‘royalty’ controlling the court, the ones with the power, the ones with the ability to make a difference, with the ability to change our course, the ones who will live in infamy if we pass the tipping points, are the captains of industry, CEOs in fossil fuel companies such as EXXON/Mobil, automobile manufacturers, utilities, all of the leaders who have placed short-term profit above the fate of the planet and the well-being of our children." - James Hansen

He saw you coming. "Their very scoffing shall confirm the truth of the prediction." "There will be scoffers in the last days, under the gospel, men who make light of sin, and mock at salvation by Jesus Christ. One very principal article of our faith refers to what only has a promise to rest upon, and scoffers will attack it till our Lord is come. They will not believe that he will come. Because they see no changes, therefore they fear not God, Ps 55:19. What he never has done, they fancy he never can do, or never will do." It never ceases to amaze me how weak their 'god' is. It's just one defeat after another. Everything is just one huge FUBAR fiasco.

There were "scoffers" from the beginning. They ended up being murdered, by: guess who. Can someone give me a hallelujah? And, they are still murdering others to this day. Except today they prefer to use proxies like the army and marine corp to do their dirty work for them. "There will be scoffers in the last days,

Nah. Real Satanists invoke, not evoke. Evocation is for christian pussies that are afraid of their own shadows. I'm surprised that no one (that I've seen) has called santorum a "satanic illuminati infiltrator", since being a christian zionist fruitcake is the perfect cover... But after an evocation or two, I'm sure he could.

not Christians. jews and pseudo-Christians like Santorum. but God's word is true. judgment day is coming for all of us. who will stand? not murderers like the above, is my humble bet. And, they are still murdering others to this day. Except today they prefer to use proxies like the army and marine corp to do their dirty work for them.

If that is your path, then that is your path. But you don't have to be a True Christian to not be a murderer.
