Sure seems like an evangelical sermon to me.
And you must admit, on the surface it seems like the government is against the people in some things it’s done over the last decade or so.

On another note:
Who’s standing behind him, the next Monica Lewinsky?

This Santorum guy doesn’t even know his own religion.

Remind me again where in the Bible god specifies my freedom of religion. Of press? Of speech? My right to bear arms? Speedy trial? Anything?

I didn’t think so.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

That the right to health would then be an offshoot of the right to life…

He thinks is is against the people.

Could it be to enable and empower its earnest citizens to have access to food, shelter, protection, opportunity, healthcare? or is it to do this for only 1%, to provide infrastructure tools more rights that those of individual citizens. This is Democracy?

* there is no right to roads

* there is no right to power

* there is no right to police protection

* there is no right to a standing armed forces

* there is no right to states’ rights

* there is no right to sovereignty

* there is no right to immigration control

Watching the Right Wing so you don’t have to.

Truly a thankless task.
