Santorum: ‘Phony Theology’ Referred to Obama’s ‘World View,’ Not His Religion

Rick and Joey, CHRISTIANITY IS NOT a prerequisite for being the President in America!! With that said, many Christians make the claim that Catholicism is a cult and a “phony theology”. Rick Santorum’s comment sounds a bit to me like many born again Christians would believe the pot is calling the kettle black.

Wow Santorum – you say one thing, claim you mean another and then you come out and contradict yourself. Is it get rough trying to live in this absolute world you created for yourself? If people vote for you, they can’t be too intelligent. I’m sorry, but you need to leave your church preaching in your church and the government business in the government. You seem to confuse the two.

I presume he’s not a Christian;in fact, I believe he’s an atheist, — which is irrelevant. He has photo-ops of going to church with his family just for the “dim-wit vote” which every politician needs. Wearing the flag lapel-pin, holding the hand over the heart at harmonies, etc…. The dim-wit vote will make a difference, and every politician needs it. But for Santorum, it’s his base.

St. Johns is a charming historical church within walking distance from the White House. For those not paying attention, the first family has attended services there.

Otherwise, is there a specific rule requiring a believer in the teachings of Christ to attend church for a specific number of days out of every year? What happens to those who don’t meet the required number of days – are they not Christian enough? Just curious to know if church attendance will be part of the Republican “freedom” and “small government” platform this year.

Hey SK_S, There is NO SUCH THING as the Christian Taliban. Taliban says death to those who oppose Islam and they backed it up by wreaking carnage on 3000 innocent men, women, and children. And in their own country they governed with death and torture, and made the females stay in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant. Christianity absolutely doesn’t do that. Christianity is what gave women equal standing before God as men. Christianity is based on men being equal before their creator, and that is what led to the US Constitution. If you’d put down your communist Nazi-tactic textbook from your communist Nazi-tactic college professors, and read real history, that is something written 40 years ago or more, then you might see that civilization based on Christianity and man’s love for his neighbor led to Western civilization and USA. It was threatened by Islam (700 to 1490 AD), then godless “enlightenment”, then the Hun, then pagan occultic Nazi-ism. There is no Christian Taliban. You’re making stuff up.

Just when we thought this brilliant boy Rick, w/ JD/MBA degrees would talk a lot of sense, he suddenly blurts out not just platitudes, but pure rubbish peppered w/ contorted and twisted theological tenets, better understood by himself. We have a platitude for him. This a diabolic demagoguery. He is even surpassing Newt, these days. The thought of him being in the white house is terrifying. We wish he faded away.

The idea that church attendance means you are a better Christian is malarkey. It is how you treat others, whether you respect yourself and your family.
I don’t know what is stranger in Santorum’s thinking, that he doesn’t know what theology means, that he thinks plundering and harming the beautiful earth God made us is a good idea or that co-pay free prenatal testing is a bad thing. (If someone would have a hard time coming up with a co-pay, they definitely don’t have the resources to take care of a severely disabled child.)

Hey LEXINGTONLADY … Au contraire, you’ve been lapping up your leftist propaganda. How ’bout considering that Bill Clinton darling of the left wrecked Monica Lewinsky’s life with his moral failure, with the leftist judges being appointed by Bill Clinton andBarack Obama, America’s schools will be filled with pro-lesbian curriculum, leading many females to lesbian ways, the leftist/Bolsheviks love abortion which is the baby-killing which harms women physically and emotionally. So, Christianity is all about life and joy in Christ, in living in the way which God has established for people as the right way. The leftist/Bolshevik way is the way of harm.

Like Santorum I have a daughter with a disability. Pre natal testing would have helped me prepare and educate myself for what was to be. Disagree with him that it most always leads to an abortion and even if that is the case then I also feel that it is a couples right to choose. I also agree with a previous post that government and religion should stay separate. This country was founded by people who suffered religious persecution and who wanted freedom of religion whether that be Christianity, Jewish, Muslim or whatever! People like Santorum scare me because their “world view” is so limited. I too would not feel safe if he were in the White House. I do not see him as a leader for all.

If you want to see a follower of Jesus Christ in action, listen to Tim Tebow (for example). He’s unapologetic and fearless about his faith. No one believeable would ever characterize Obama in the same way. As to Annette King fearing those with a limited “world view”, it’s the “world view” that’s dangerous! We’re ALL THE SAME. There are MANY GODS. Do what feels good. Marriage is for puritans. Opposite sex marriage (as God designed and intended) is for religious zealots. Would you rather live in the morals of the U.S.A. of the 1950s (Father Knows Best, Leave it to Beaver) or of these days with the likes of Jersey Shore, The Real Stupid Housewives of Podunk USA, and Reality Show X, Y and Z? Doesn’t seem to me the age of the baby mama and unprecedented numbers on food stamps is the wave of the future (nor is it desired by anyone outside the Democrat rank and file). What do you think?

“, America’s schools will be filled with pro-lesbian curriculum, leading many females to lesbian ways, the leftist/Bolsheviks love abortion which is the baby-killing which harms women physically and emotionally. ” So PEEJ, where are your facts?
Stop spewing this baseless nonsense and realize those from the left want to give freedoms to all, while the right wants to control them. There are gays in the military that protect your rights and freedoms and the sooner you accept their equality, the sooner we will again be a great country.

Rick Santorum why do so call republican christians when running for political offices always forget or ignor the bible scripture below just to win a election.

Ephesians 4:29

Amplified Bible (AMP)

Let no foul or polluting language, nor evil word nor unwholesome or worthless talk [ever] come out of your mouth, but only such [speech] as is good and beneficial to the spiritual progress of others, as is fitting to the need and the occasion, that it may be a blessing and give grace (God’s favor) to those who hear it.

Okay, let’s all pretend for a minute that President Obama is Muslim. SO WHAT???

“Obama has the same world view of most muslims who grew up in a christian country and were indoctrinated into the fallacies and absurdities of the marxist left at university. Not as complicated as some would have it.”
Posted by: TALMAG
“Bingo. And this explains his barely-disguise contmept for his own country. And this contmept he has for America is why he should have never been elected.”
Posted by: JERRY
That does sum it up truly and fairly succinctly.

The real truth is his focus. While he diddles around with “expalining” his wildly huge spending, he done little or nothing about the issues confronting the gay and lesbian communities.

Stop WITH all ofthe COMPLAININNG!!! The PRESIDENT is doing the BEST he can. Just PAY your HIGHER taxes!!!!!

“Does he not realize what theology is? Freaking idiot.”
Posted by: Captain Swagg Harris
Yes, the “brilliant” Obama has about as much grasp of “theology” as he does on economics — as in none at all.

Mr. Santorum is currently considered certifiably loony (as are his the people who vote for him) in a country which is a staunch ally of the U.S., the Netherlands, for his truly twisted comments about Dutch seniors being killed off via involuntary euthanasia……so much for “world views” worthy of condemnation.

I know. And efforts to justify this craziness using mean spirited simply convinces the majority of voters – Right and Left of center moderates who support higher taxes, good public schools, the US Post Office, freedom of religion, and improving our economy – to NOT vote Republican. Keep up the good work.

Hey GreenGoddess, check you data and you will see that “mean-spirited” describes the leftist/Bolsheviks perfectly, just like Mr. Gladney selling momentos at the event in 2009 who was assaulted by SEIU thugs, and they put him in the hospital. Trial later acquitted the thugs even though there Mr. Gladney sits stuck in a wheelchair, but of course if it was Rodney King the InJustice Department would have gone in and overturned whatever they do laid waste to the beaters. Richard Trumka says he and his union are Obama’s “army”. Look at Arizona Governor Brewer greeted Obama and he hollered at her and turned his back to her and walked off in the middle of her response. Rude rude rude thug. He is disrespectful to everybody but fellow leftists. He is the most divisive, mendacious president ever. Look at Occupy Wall Street and how much threatening language toward violence they spouted (unreported by CBS etc.). Leftist Bolsheviks are the “mean-spirited” ones, time and again.

Get real, folks. Obama is phony about everything, except his misguided love for himself. So yeah, his world view is phony. He’s just another mediocre academic type leftist who has never had a real job in his entire life. There’s a lot of shallow to his hollow.

That’s truly funny, and so true.

I prayed to God for Obama to win and he said ok. I will be praying for his reelection.

If these republicans were really the “Christians” they claim to be they’d be terrified of the wrath of God because of the way they’ve mocked Him. The only thing “phoney” is their world view of everything and everyone who doesn’t subscribe to their ignoranct and childish antics. Republicans are an embarrassment to America. For sure, God is disgusted with them.

Green Goddess: So, you want Obama to commit political suicide by giving conservatives an issue they can hang around his neck like an albatross. What world are you living in? Many minorities would like special attention to their problems but don’t want to see Obama lose the election because of their singlemindedness This nation is very divided (or haven’t you noticed?) . PS- All the things Obama is dealing with affect the lives of everyday people and he is not the US dictator. Grow up and realize that he can not eliminate bigotry. He has his own problems in that area.

logicnothuff – you really need a life.

I’m all for starving the government of power, but I’m equally in favor of starving religion of power also.
Powerful governments and powerful religions are not in the best interests of the individual.

If the Republicans could ever manage to be a party as concerned with fiscal responsibility as they claim (or used to claim) I would probably vote for them. But to do that they would have somehow untie themselves from the religiously obsessed and anti-science/educationally wackos who insist they spend all of their time and effort arguing religion. Unfortunately they have courted that ilk for so long it’s pretty much all they know. Neither party has any claim to fiscal responsibility but at least when the Democrats go on a crazy spending spree the money seems to stay in the country instead of propping up countries like Iraq.

Apparently the best Santorum can do is stir up paranoia among the ignorant. He, of course, would not consider himself among that group, but he certainly is if he thinks the earth is here to serve man. Genesis 2:15 says, “The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden TO TAKE CARE OF IT.” HE didn’t say, “Rape the earth. Abuse it. Do whatever you want.”. God is smart enough to know man can’t survive if he ruins the earth. Too bad Santorum hasn’t figured that out. I am an independent but I cringe to think that a theological nutjob like Santorum would get into office. Lord, help us.

In any other country, candidates like Santorum, Perry, and Gingrich would be objects of ridicule. Here in the good ol’ USA, land of the free and the brave? The media cleans them up, puts props under them in a vain effort to prevent them from falling on their faces, the super wealthy throw money at them until the money flooding the election process becomes obscene, and these idiots run for the top office in the country.

“This guy is s low life. Period.”

And that’s exactly why he, our teleprompter prez, must be voted out in about 9 months.

“As a part of the K Street scheme, Rick Santorum was, by almost all accounts, the Senate liason who met with the lobbyists every week and ‘scheduled’ access to his Senate colleagues in the ‘pay to play’ scandal. Today, Presidential candidate Santorum has not been pressed to answer questions about his involvement in this scandal, but he does continue to say he is a fighter for Christian values. Someone should do a little bit of research and inquire if participation in what amounts to bribery, fraud and ‘pay to play’ politics is a Christian value.” Others have gone to jail for tactics like this. And he’s still doing it with his good friend Grover.

Please heed my advice and read my book above. It’s integrity is clean, even if I got paid to post it, and the bio details are all made up.

Went through all the comments. I don’t really think that the majority of those posting here get what is going on with Santorum or what is happening inside the GOP. Santorum is appealing to a blue collar uneducated base that believes in religious and soial issues,,,not what is going on in real life. It is also that ‘fault line’ of right wing thinking extremists that are destroying this Party. And Santorum is making a direct appeal to them. That is why he is unelectable. The GOP has a far bigger problem within their Party…that they are acknowledging.

Lexington Lady:”BTW, I voted for Reagan. He’d be ashamed of you guys now too.”

… and my parents voted for JFK. I”m sure he’s spinning in his grave over today’s Democrats. The irony is JFK, the original supply-sider would be considered too conservative for today’s Democrat party. Remember “a rising tide lifts all boats”?

Santorum was making the point that Obama honors a false god, the god of a secular, all-powerful central government. The Democrats are trying to turn this statement into the “is he really not a Christian” canard and their inept (or complicit) compadres in the main stream media are allowing them to define the issue.

You’ll never convince these diehard partisan dems that their tactics aren’t working. They will be continuing on the same way forever. Why? They have little or nothing else.

No matter how you package it I agree, Obama is a salesman and his policies reflect his selfish world view and not the will of the people.

Those of us from Chicago recognize the Chicago politices playbook when we see it. The last 4-5 Illinois Governors who are consequently all serving time will agree.

“Santorum is appealing to a very hard right uneducated blue collar type of individual with his message.” ~~~~~~ And if anybody doubts this statement, they need only read the above comments to see evidence for its veracity.

Let me get this straight……it is ok to trash our environment and exploit everything we can from the earth, making future generations try to survive on what’s left, but it is not ok to leave a deficit/debt for future generations.

Santorum was making the point that Obama honors a false god, the god of a secular, all-powerful central government. Posted by: Woody | February 20, 2012, 8:28 am.

Since there is no such thing as a “real god”, Santorum’s “point” is irrelevant. Santorum simply made up a line about Obama: “But when you have a world view that elevates the earth above man and says we can’t take those resources because its going to harm the Earth, it’s just all an attempt to centralize power and give more power to the government.” This is a purely made up fantasy by Santorum. One hundred percent fabrication on his part, based on nothing. He’s talking like a true GOP front-runner now: making up crap, then spinning out an explanation because his original statement was ‘controversial’. His idiot base eats this stuff up like crack. It’s funny: when a self-proclaimed ‘Christian’ has to resort to making up lies about his opponent, you KNOW he doesn’t have anything substantive of his own to run on. But I always thought there was some commandment somewhere about ‘thou shalt not lie’. Guess Santorum skipped that class in Sunday school.

Please, Republicans, please choose Santorum as your candidate to run against Obama. The country NEEDS you to do this. Please, we’re begging you, PICK RICK!

Mitt Romney is an empty suit who shouldn’t be president. Rick Santorum’s suit is filled with dangerous thoughts. He would be better running for president of Iran.

WOODY wrote “Santorum was making the point that Obama honors a false god, the god of a secular, all-powerful central government” Interesting the GWB’s republicans and its administration increased the size of government much more so than the current and you have the audacity to print that false garbage? Seriously, Homeland security and medicare part D. You guys are getting to be pretty pathetic liars, spinners and tired of it. Don’t want big government, geez, go to Somalia, don’t know of a successful nation with little government. Do you and if so enlighten us.

We already have had this strong centralized government versus a weak central government twice before. And a strong central government won both times. First time, during the constitutional convention where they adopted the Articles of Federation over the Articles of Confederation. Then the second time, was the great schism of the Civil War. Which really was a battle over the role of government.

Santorum has gone off the deep end! I could not believe what I was hearing him say! I think his rise in the Republican polls has affected his sense of reality. But keep on keepin’ on Rick, because the more you talk, the more I see Obama winning a second term. No one but no one can honestly agree with his politics. His ideas on prenatal care are just too ridiculous; and his stance on how to change the education system is even more ridiculous. My Lord, Rick, what have you been smoking?

“Obama’s world view, is that he IS God, and that all should kneel before him. He is the worst dictator, the US has ever seen.” (Rick McDaniel) ~~~~~~~~ Could you provide a citation of Obama claiming that he is god? Google returns no such quote. Also, can you tell us all what event or date Obama demanded that anybody — let alone everybody — should kneel to him?
Posted by: Minorkey1 | February 20, 2012, 9:25 am.

Don’t hold your breath. Mr. McDaniel is just spouting off nonsense, since he knows his side has nothing of substance to run on. They have decided to ramp up their culture war attack machine, since they have no record of fiscal responsibility or real leadership to hang their hats on. Obama is going to win in November in another landslide. And they KNOW it. The real question is, will America have the sense to kick the GOP out of power in Congress? Right now, with the anti-GOP sentiment building in this country thanks to “leaders” like Santorum and Willard, I think the answer is yes…

I find the Santorum’s attitude that we can exploit the earth’s resources, leaving little for future generations absolutely wrong. If we truly believe in God, we should feel mandated to protect the earth as God’s beautiful creation, given to us to care and protect as it provides all we need.
