Once More From the Comment Section

 This was posted in response to an article on Breitbart.com. I offer the following for your consideration:

"Good article but this is not a new message from Rick Santorum. If you have actually followed Santorum over the course of his career and after, you will see that everything he said is just exactly what he has spoken about and actually successfully legislated for. Read "It Takes A Family" he wrote back in 2006 and look up his record on helping the average American worker via pro-growth, pro-family policies. He has consistently spoken on and advocated for this for years. It's what lit a fuse during his 2012 campaign that attracted even many of the disaffected Reagan Democrats to take a serious look at him; and it alarmed the Democrat Party that he could be a serious threat to them for appealing to their large blue collar base. The Left knows that as an authentic and bold conservative culture warrior, Santorum will be untouchable on the very social and cultural issues they always rely on to beat up our usual milquetoast moderate GOP candidate who is either reluctant or incapable of authentically countering them. Santorum will force the Dems to defend their indefensible positions on these issues and expose them for the true extremists they are. This is the last thing the Democrat Party wants, to be put on trial in the spotlight of a national election, to actually have to defend their secular Marxists ideology against the Judeo-Christian based worldview rooted in truth and logic, that begot us this great nation. This is the battle for the very heart and soul, the very survival of our nation, that MUST be waged in a national debate, the ultimate clash of worldviews, not some battle of compartmentalized issues. Couple that with Santorum's message and doable plan that actually brings America together and you have a winner. Recall he won 11 states and more counties than all his competitors COMBINED before all establishment forces with their 24/7 media presence and millions of dollars came to Romney's aid to take this man out. With little money and a barebones organization, often outspent 5,6, even 10 to 1, Santorum came doggone close to toppling the pre-anointed Rominee and it took a virtual army of heavy hitters to take him out. That is absolutely incredible and is the story the MSM and even conservative talkers afflicted with American Idolitis do not want you to remember ever happened. I remember. So do millions who voted for him and/or didn't get the chance to do so in 2012. He has big name recognition now, which is why his message is getting attention--- finally. If the GOP is smart, they will see we have a Reagan 2.0 in our midst. Game On!" ~PatriotMom61

A Salute to the Comments Section

Yes, I like Rick Santorum, and, therefore, I loved this. The two comments I have included in this post were in response to a bash Rick Santorum fest which was being hosted by some Huckabee supporters. They show why it is so profitable to have loyal supporters who love you for your loyalty to God, the nation, and your constituents.

There are reasons you should not compare a Burkean (or traditional) Conservative (which Rick Santorum is) to a progressive such as Teddy Roosevelt or Woodrow Wilson. One of such reasons is... there just isn't anything to compare. Huckabee is not the kind of guy I am alright with being president... or anything else. This gem from a comment section gives a neat and tidy intro as to why (as well as reflecting the awesomeness which dwells within Rick Santorum):

"I seriously do not think Rick Santorum patterns anything after Teddy Roosevelt. I'd say he's in line with Ronald Reagan. Big difference there. Now, you'd be correct to compare Huckabee to Roosevelt because both have embraced progressive policies. NOT Rick. Rick has said time and again he would make good use of the presidential bully pulpit to start a national conversation on issues of marriage, family, and a culture of life. This does not translate to government running and dictating policies to lift these up. He makes this clear in "It Takes a Family" and consistently throughtout his tenure in Congress and during his campaign and still today." - SW

And this is why you do not call another person's candidate "a joke" as a reason they should not be supporting the candidate (aside from the "joke" comment being tasteless and largely nonsensical):

"Yes, [Santorum is] a joke who just happened to win 11 states and more counties than all the rest of the field COMBINED by the time he was forced to suspend. Yes, a joke who ran a shoestring campaign with meager funds and a skeletal staff, outspent 5,6, even 10 to 1, and he came doggone close to toppling the pre-anointed Rominee. Yes, a joke who ran a solely grassroots brushfire campaign, and it took a combination of Rove, Trump, Fox News and every one of their talking egghead elitist shills, Adelson, Gingrich, Paul, and the dozens of billionaire moderate backers to aid Romney to take out this "Little Campaign That Could." That is the remarkable story of 2012 that the media, and even the Cruz and Rand obsessed talkers don't want to revisit, don't want you to remember ever, ever happened. That Santorum was a non-factor in 2012 and should go away, that we need "fresh blood", young inexperienced rebellious candidates with a flare for soaring rhetoric, not actual record and results. Yes, what a joke that Santorum was, just like Reagan in 1976. Ignorance reins supreme. I thank God Reagan gave it another shot in 1980 and his supporters from 1976 had the good mind to stick with him and build on that. Too many Chris Matthews in the GOP these days to learn from this. Huckabee going after Santorum's base is reflective of this, too. Dumb, dumb strategy - unless his goal is to aid Christie or Bush with the promise of a VP spot." - SW

Salute! Yes, there are, at times, decent people in the comments section.

Santorum Takes CPAC

            CPAC was filled with libertarians, moderates, and political pop stars who are sure to be forgotten by history. Showboating, Obama bashing, and rabid egotism was common place. The entire fiasco left me wishing for a breath of fresh air, for an adult, for someone who actually cares enough to speak truth rather than parrot talking points and score political brownie points for stirring up a crowd. Well, Santorum offered me that breath of air and gave me hope that this nation might come alive, again. My hat is off to him.

I would comment further, but I think the speech speaks for itself.
