Santorum On Putting Bibles In Public Schools: 'Yes We Can! Yes We Can!'

[DonViejo]

Former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) issued a passionate call for Bibles in public schools on Saturday during an appearance at a convention of social conservatives in Orlando, Florida.

"The reason Bibles are no longer in the public schools is because we let them take them out,” Santorum said to amens and applause at The Awakening conference, hosted by the right-wing Liberty Counsel. "You say, ‘Well, we can’t get them back in?' Yes we can! Yes we can!"

"How much are you willing to sacrifice?" the former presidential candidate continued. "One person got the Bibles out of the schools. We have more than one person here! But you’ve got to have the same passion in preserving our country as they do to transform it."

1. Once again Santorum simply lies.

What was taken out was FORCED religion.

But, you know how it goes with these grifters...

2. Whoa! Easy there! You are attacking Christianity!

Are you implying that Christians should not get preferential treatment and everything else they want? You sure sound like waging a war on Christmas here!

3. yeah, let's put them back in the classroom.

Who needs that pesky Constitution? Screw it. *sarcasm*

4. And get that pesky "sciency" stuff OUT

while you're at it. Nobody needs to know anything about how the universe really works.

5. he'll change his tune

when every other religious text also gets to enter.

6. Rick Frothy Saintorum should go home and care for his large family instead of wasting money on

his dead-end political campaign. Or, like Palin, is he trying to feed his family w/ speaking fees?

So glad PA came to its senses briefly enough to limit his senatorial career to 1 too-long term. Even tho he didn't show how historically challenged and religiously delusional he is until after he left office.

If he's so damned worried about religious indoctrination ge should go home and start an evangelical megachurch. I hear that's a great way to become rich.
