WB: Rick Santorum

Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum said he is proud to be a conservative.

He said we are Americans who believe America was the greatest country in the world from it's inception, not because of it's miltary power, but because of it's ideals. We believe our values and culture are what has made America a magnet for people around the world for centuries. He said our culture is made up of many threads, but it is not "multicultural." He reminded us that we are "E pluribus unum."

Our foundation is faith and our superstructure is freedom. But this is not freedom to do whatever you please, but a freedom tethered to responsibility, a freedom to do what you ought to do.

Santorum said none of the Democrat candidates came to this meeting because not a single Democrat candidate "sees things the way we do."

He said you'll hear things from Senator Clinton's campaign that sound slightly pro-life,slightly pro-marriage, etc...but behind the rhetoric are some radical ideas.

The last time partial birth abortion was debated in the Senate, Clinton stood on the floor and said that pictures of aborted fetuses were misleading because the fetus' had been perfectly formed. In order to be accurate, she said pictures of deformed babies would be needed to show those children with birth defects. Santorum challenged her statement by stating he would be happy to show a child with a disability on the slide presentation, but he didn't see any difference with that child being any less a child, less of a human being. He asked if those who are less than perfect don't deserve to live.

Santorum said social conservatives are the "pebble in the shoe" that many would like to not have to deal with, but they are the conscience of the American ideal.
