Santorum is an Ass
This quote has been passed around the internet(s) and reported all over, but here it is:
These are the thoughts of Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania. Of course this is insensitive to say the least, and I think most people see that. But let's look at a contrast between some in the media shaking their heads and tut-tutting and what would have been total outright media fury and outrage if had said the same thing after 9/11. I mean you could say the exact same thing too - if you were as twisted as Li'l Ricky that is - about 9/11. Terrorists had already attacked the Trade Center once, why not again? It's the fault of those dumb people that they worked in office towers. But wait! That's such a wretched and insensitive thing to say! Of course, and so it goes for Santorum's words too. Rick Santorum would be a tolerable nuisance I suppose if weren't for the fact that he goes around talking up his "Christian" values. (I wonder if Santorum is secretly disappointed every time that he reads Jesus saying things like, "blessed are the merciful" or healing people instead of telling them that it's their own fault that they are sick.) Santorum is cold towards the suffering of others but eager to try and impose his law on them. He uses religion like a pharisee, trying to make someone new outside-in. He is every negative stereotype that a non-believer can have about a believer all rolled into one guy. I'd reckon that he's going to become a leading cause of atheism if he gets much more time on the national stage in the US.
"I mean, you have people who don't heed those warnings and then put people at risk as a result of not heeding those warnings. There may be a need to look at tougher penalties on those who decide to ride it out and understand that there are consequences to not leaving.”
