an open letter to rick santorum
so i just saw this post by the daily what and i felt compelled to comment on one particular little gem from our good friend sir frothalot.
Later, on Meet The Press, Santorum doubled down on his position, telling host David Gregory that the separation of church and state was “not the founders’ vision.”
please take a second to read that quotation thoroughly.
that’s right. he said that.
not. the founders’. vision.
well fuck you, rick santorum, and fuck everyone who thinks you have any idea what you’re doing, or that you’d make a good president.
newsflash, asshole: THE MOTHERFUCKING FIRST AMENDMENT. LET ME SET IT HERE FOR YOU TO SEE.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
there it is. right. fucking. there.
firstly, this says congress, not the president—and considering you’ve been going on and on about how you would do things, i think it’s time you know: the president is not all powerful.
’s funny, ‘cause your lot have been criticizing president obama for not doing enough. don’t you think that if he could, he’d be fulfilling all his promises? but guess what! the majority of congress is republican. and they have done their utmost to stop everything he’s tried to do.
so i don’t know exactly what you’re thinking, but you could not get elected and immediately declare the united states to be a theocracy. that just ain’t how it works.
secondly, there’s the founders’ vision for you. right there. they wrote it down. specifically. so that jerkoffs like you wouldn’t try and turn this nation into a theocracy 200 years later.
your argument, sir, is invalid.
and you, sir, are an idiot of the worst kind.
kindly go back into your closet with your sinful homosexual thoughts and leave the rest of us alone.
