Rick Santorum is an Idiot

According to Santorum colleges are centers of indoctrination. Allow me to quote the moron in chief.

"It's no wonder President Obama wants every kid to go college. The indoctrination that occurs in American universities is one of the keys to the left holding and maintaining power in America. And it is indoctrination."

The problem Rick is that much of what you hold to be true is in fact false and universities focus on reality and not wishful thinking. I might also point out there are more than a few right wing Christian centered universities.

“If they taught Judeo-Christian principles in those colleges and universities, they would be stripped of every dollar. If they teach radical secular ideology, they get all the government support that they can possibly give them.”

One wonders what Santorum thinks is “radical secular ideology.” Evolution perhaps?

“Because you know 62 percent of children who enter college with a faith conviction leave without it.”

Maybe that’s because once someone with at least half a brain and an ounce of courage learns to think critically and learns about the history of Christianity, he would be something of a fool if he didn’t drop his faith conviction.

Why is it that religions and conservatives fear education? Perhaps because reality has a liberal bias and it is clear from every study that the the more intelligent an individual is and the more education he has, the higher the probability is he will reject both religion and most social conservative positions.

An educated population is necessary to effectively compete in a global economy but a man who wants to be the presidential candidate for a major political party doesn’t understand that.

Rick Santorum is an idiot.

Anyone who votes for Rick Santorum is an idiot.

And, until the party manages to expunge idiots like Rick Santorum from positions of influence within the party, anyone who votes for the Republican party is an idiot.
