Salvation Salvo Tour Begins! Starring Rick Santorum & the “Rell” Conservatives…

The LAST direction the GOP needs to continue down is that same rat-hole being bored by the Political Dominionists! And with former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum, (R) Pennsylvania, you get a doubled down extremist. The mere fact that he is on the road voicing his dismay at the current republican members of Congress should be a huge red flag!

CBS News – Article September 30, 2009

“Yes, the same Rick Santorum who lost his U.S. Senate seat in 2006 with only 41 percent of the vote.

The same Rick Santorum who’s a Sarah Palin-esque lightning rod who regularly sent the left into a tizzy with his anti-abortion rights and anti-homosexual views.

Well, this week, he’s headed to Iowa – the first in the nation presidential caucus state – to deliver speeches in Des Moines and Dubuque, not because he’s running for president in 2012 (“It’s three years away. … I have no plans. … it’s not that I’m not going to plan…”) but because, as he told reporters on a conference call today, the Republican Party “needs to have voices out there to try to direct the opposition.”

“We’re the opposition party and we’re not doing a heck of a job in my mind of articulating why we’re opposing and, just as importantly, articulating solutions to the problems that confront America and this is an opportunity for me to do that,” Santorum said.

Oh sure…I see his disappointment. We just don’t have enough “real” conservatives in the Republican Party representing the serious social issues. Now that is very disturbing! really? They are what? Too LIBERAL for Santorum? Whoa, I say!

“In an interview with the Associated Press published April 20, 2003, Santorum grouped gay sex together with incest, polygamy, and zoophilia as deviant sexual behavior threatening society and the family. He further stated that he believed consenting adults do not have a constitutional right to privacy with respect to sexual acts.” - Wikipedia

And let’s not forget that he made my gallery of GOP Hypocrites & Criminals in a past post over at theopalinism…

Rick Santorum,Republican U.S. Senator Pennsylvania and devout Political Dominionist under the Roman Catholic club of Knights of Malta, used $100,000 of PA state funds earmarked for that state’s school children to educate his own children, who were not residents of Pennsylvania.

[Former] U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum should reimburse $100,000 to the Penn Hills School District for taxpayer money used since 2001 to cover online charter school tuition for his children, four school board members said.”

Santorum and all those who are embedded in this skewed and twisted thinking are dead serious about imposing their ‘c’hristian morals on all of us, while they give themselves carte blanche to do what ever they want! His paranoia about his never-ending and growing family, (as a believer in Quiverfull – but that will be a discussion for another blog post). Here is an excerpt from an article on Theocracy Watch.org that discusses just how far they have gotten in positions of power where legislation is drafted that can change our lives and freedoms in this country…

“Before the midterm elections of 2006, dominionists controlled both houses of the U.S. Congress, the White House and four out of nine seats on the U.S. Supreme Court. They were one seat away from holding a solid majority on the Supreme Court. As of January 1, 2007, dominionists will not control the leadership of either house of Congress, and the President will no longer be able to so easily appoint dominionists to the federal courts.

Five of the Republican Senators who were unseated on November 7 received whopping scores of 100% from the Family Research Council and Focus on the Family Voter Scorecards. Those Senators are: Conrad Burns (R-MT), George Allen (R-VA), Rick Santorum (R-PA), James Talent (R-MO), and Mike DeWine (R-OH). Rick Santorum was the number three ranking Republican in the party. Santorum and Allen both had Presidential ambitions. (FRC and FOF are the most politically influential of dominionist organizations.)

Where do we go from here?

Dominionists were very close to controlling all three branches of the federal government from which they could impose their narrow interpretation of scripture on the rest of society. People so close to full political power are not going to go away. The American people need to maintain vigilance and understand the history of how dominionists came to political power. And we need to embrace democracy with a passion — for it was voter apathy that allowed leaders like Pat Robertson [and Sarah Palin] to get so many dominionists elected to Congress in the first place.”

We totally MISSED this wake up call! Why do I say that? Because the concept of Political Dominionists setting out to turn our democracy into a theocracy is still either an unknown issue and/or a topic that is dismissed with a roll of the eyes as absurd. Until we all start truly taking them seriously…we are not using vigilance!

“True, people of faith have always tried to bring their interpretation of the Bible to bear on American laws and morals … it’s the American way, encouraged and protected by the First Amendment.  But what is unique today is that the radical religious right has succeeded in taking over one of America’s great political parties. The country is not yet a theocracy but the Republican Party is, and they are driving American politics, using God as a a battering ram on almost every issue: crime and punishment, foreign policy, health care, taxation,  energy,  regulation, social services and so on.” - Bill Moyers, Journalist and television host.

What we have happening right now is “slight-of-hand”. While the MSM (so dreaded by Palin, yet so central to her mere existence!) is focusing all it’s attention on Palin’s “memoirs” – I still can’t say that with a straight face – we have Mr. Salvation hitting the same pious Political Dominionist campaign trail that you will see Palin pandering to.

Don’t take your eyes off the ball! The games HAVE begun…
