What yea frightens me, however, are the 30,007 Iowans that voted for Rick Santorum. Definitely our state, let alone our country, isn't that ignorant, right?
How can so many people support a man who believes women must be strained to birth a child resulting from rape? A man who believes torture must continue to be employed? A man set on outlawing same-sex marriages? A man short of to complete the building of a fence across our border? A man who wants to eliminate all drive subsidies? The things he and many of the other candidates believe are worthy of endless disapproval.
The true issue with Rick Santorum that guides such ridiculous ideas is his insistence on implementing conscientious law upon our country. As he stated in Iowa a few months ago, "our civil laws have to comport to a higher law: God's law."
I hate to suppose about this, but a large part of our country feels the same way as Santorum. Too often I hear Christians signify of the need for our political leaders to be guided by "ethics and principles." Ethics and principles, in this coherence, are code for religious beliefs. You won't hear a church congregation complimenting the upstanding characteristic of even the most righteous presidential candidate who is in favor of the legalization of gay marriage. For the undeviating population, virtue is aligned with their religious beliefs.
