Ayatollah Santorum Excommunicates Obama, Mainstream Protestants

02/19/2012 by Juan Cole

Rick Santorum attacked President Obama on Saturday for his theology. Although people assumed that Santorum was, like other conservatives, hinting around that Obama is not a Christian but rather a secret Muslim, Santorum denied this allegation. And, likely he meant instead to lump Obama with the 45 million members of mainline Protestant churches in the US who he considers to be pagans. You see, for Santorum, Methodists and Lutherans and Episcopalians may as well be Muslims, since he does not believe that they are Christians.

What is remarkable is that it is Santorum who sounds like a Muslim fundamentalist. And ultimately maybe what he is saying is that Obama isn’t Muslim enough.

Santorum told his audience in Ohio that Obama’s policy is “not about you. It’s not about your quality of life. It’s not about your jobs. It’s about some phoney ideal, some phoney theology — not a theology based on the Bible, a different theology.” <snip>

1. This man isn't even popular in the catholic church. The power of just thinking he has a chance to

move in the white house has made him even crazier. Watch if he wins Michagan he will go off the track way way over to the right. He will not win the election. The republicans realize this.

2. If Dems are lucky,

this idiot will win the primary and keep flapping his lips. The more he talks, the more evident his weird religious zealotry and preoccupation with other people's sex lives. The sooner he decompensates on national tv, the better.

3. The statue of oppression!

4. The MSM has always twisted itself into pretzels...

... trying to make the GOP look semi-rational (in the spirit of "fair and balanced" debate, of course). Their "makeover" work will be cut out of them if Santorum wins the nomination. I, for one, intend to stock up on the popcorn.

5. Juan Cole is unreliable

He is totally pro Iran. and lying that Ahmadinejad was "mistranslated."

6. You should really read the comment section after the article.

7. Don't count him out. He is just like Hitler. He believes in himself and that resonates

in all the bullshit he spouts. That is what makes it easy for him to get people to believe with him. That is why Hitler comes to mind. He had that same belief in himself.
