“National Review’s Jim Geraghty wonders whether there might be a business-related reason behind casino magnate Sheldon Adelson’s reported opposition to Rick Santorum. Take a look at what the former Pennsylvania senator had to say about gambling during a recent interview with Jon Ralston:

I’m someone who takes the opinion that gaming is not something that is beneficial, particularly having that access on the Internet. Just as we’ve seen from a lot of other things that are vices on the Internet, they end to grow exponentially as a result of that. It’s one thing to come to Las Vegas and do gaming and participate in the shows and that kind of thing as entertainment, it’s another thing to sit in your home and have access to that it. I think it would be dangerous to our country to have that type of access to gaming on the Internet.

Freedom’s not absolute. What rights in the Constitution are absolute? There is no right to absolute freedom. There are limitations. You might want to say the same thing about a whole variety of other things that are on the Internet — “let everybody have it, let everybody do it.” No. There are certain things that actually do cost people a lot of money, cost them their lives, cost them their fortunes that we shouldn’t have and make available, to make it that easy to do.”


“Rick Santorum completely self-destructs in an interview with Neil Cavuto”

I’m thinking about starting a brand new blog about Rick Santorum. I’m going to completely dedicate it to the former member of Congress who’s benefited greatly since leaving Congress, as so has the rest of the country. I might call it the World of Big Government Courtesy of Rick Santorum. The beauty of it would be, that Senator Santroum would provide me with all the material on his big government position of the day. I might even pay the former Senator royalties, for his contributions to this blog.

The problem with this potential blog, is that it would take up all my time. Forget being a political junky, I would end up becoming a Santorum junky. All Rick 24 hours, seven days a week all the time. Because Rick comes up with a new big government position basically everyday. Stick around and I’ll go through them with you.

In the last two weeks, Rick Santorum has come out of favor bf banning heavy metal music, which is why Dave Mustaine endorsed him. (Perhaps Dave Mustaine is losing his nearing now thanks to all of his head banging) Trying to suck up to the Senator with a straw and has lost so many brain cells from heavy metal, which is why he endorsed Rick Santorum and why Rick wants to ban heavy metal. The distinguished Senator came out in favor of banning pornography, trying to lure Michele Bachmann wing of the nut house to endorse him. Condoms, birth control, and now today gambling.

Calling Rick Santorum a Conservative is like calling a midget a giant or a cow a horse, a dog a cat, water, fire, it doesn’t past the laugh test, unless you don’t have a sense of humor. And if that’s the case you shouldn’t read this piece either.

Rick Santorum would give any Socialist you want to name a great run for being in favor of big government: David McReynolds, Bernie Sanders, and Dennis Kucinich have nothing on this guy. They would all be midget’s compared with Rick. (Not just Dennis Kucinich) And every time he finds a new way in how to protect people from themselves, lovers of liberty need to call him out on it.
