Busy this morning so I'll just throw a few things your way without much comment:
Rich Lowry on the Left's opening salvo against Rick Santorum:
The media has unleashed the hounds on Rick Santorum.And he's well-acquainted with the tactics of the Left. Santorum on Hannity last night:
He was last seen a step ahead of the braying pack, trying to explain that he hadn’t accused President Barack Obama of being a crypto-Muslim. The former Pennsylvania senator criticized the president’s environmentalism as representative of a “phony theology.” The press snipped the remark out of the context and played it as Santorum donning his finest Grand Inquisitor garb and reading the president of the United States out of the Christian faith. [. . .]
Santorum is a standing affront to the sensibilities and assumptions of the media and political elite. That elite is constantly writing the obituary for social conservatism, which is supposed to wither away and leave a polite, undisturbed consensus in favor of social liberalism. Santorum not only defends beliefs that are looked down upon as dated and unrealistic; he does it with a passionate sincerity that opens him to mockery and attack.
If Santorum had the social views of a Barbara Boxer, he would be hailed in all the glossy magazines as a political virtuoso. He has fought a front-runner with all the advantages to a jump ball in Michigan. His aides can’t provide advance texts of his speeches because he always extemporizes and speaks from a few notes. He is indefatigable, willing to lose on behalf of what he believes and committed to trying to convince others of his positions.
Well, it’s perfectly clear. I mean, let’s be honest. This is standard fare. I mean I’m not saying anything particularly new here. I mean, what we’ve been talking about, the radical environmental agenda that puts the earth over the needs of man, that doesn’t understand that the best way to create a sound environment is for people to be doing well and to have prosperity. Because you go to countries where in fact mankind is not doing well and let me assure you, the last thing they worry about is the environment. It depends on America’s growth and prosperity so we can in fact be good, husband[ing] the environment as the way we should. And that’s all I was talking about.No, no. The liberal media are merely "scrutinizing" him:
And for them to continually distort – this is the kind of stuff that I think is, is actually I think one of the reasons we’re doing well in the polls, because people see it for what it is. They see the national media trying to destroy conservatives.
It's tedious to point out that the liberal media never applied any scrutiny whatsoever to Barack Obama, but it must be said.
The Right Scoop has full video of the Hannity interview (which I haven't seen yet).
One thing we know for sure: The Left and their media hounds instinctively know their enemy. Santorum is everything they despise and fear. Fortunately, he's no newbie to this fight.
Have a great morning.

He's right. There is a very vocal and powerful group of people driving global warming. Some for ideological purposes, others for profit, others for control.

...The Obama administration is crawling with the modern-day heirs of the eugenics movement, from Planned Parenthood golden girl Kathleen Sebelius at the Department of Health and Human Services to the president’s prestigious science czar John Holdren - an outspoken proponent of forced abortions and mass sterilizations and a self-proclaimed protege of eugenics guru Harrison Brown, whom he credits with inspiring him to become a scientist.
Brown envisioned a government regime in which the “number of abortions and artificial inseminations permitted in a given year would be determined completely by the difference between the number of deaths and the number of births in the year previous.” He urged readers to “reconcile ourselves to the fact that artificial means must be applied to limit birth rates.” He likened the global population to a “pulsating mass of maggots.”...

Madness indeed.
Santorum will of course be despised by those who believe that the end justifies the means.
ReplyDeleteDrudge has finally shown his true colors. He's been running the Santorum speech as his entire site all day. And I think it's going to backfire.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid Fox News Channel has gotten about as bad. They spend an inordinate amount of time talking about how the other media outlets are talking about Santorum's stance on Social Issues. They don't even see the hypocrisy in covering it just as negatively as everyone else.
