Santorum Hearing Voices

Santorum Hearing Voices

By Michael Collins



(Washington, DC) Senator Rick Santorum knows something many of us do not. Satan is waging war on the United States. This is no scruffy terrorist group carrying explosives in their underwear or shoes. It is Satan himself, also known as the Devil, Mephistopheles, the Beast, etc. (Image one, two)

How does the senator know so much about this attack?

Santorum hears voices.

Four years ago, he admitted just that:

"Satan is attacking the great institutions of America, using those voices of pride, vanity, and sensuality as the root to attack all of the strong plants that has (sic) deeply rooted in the American tradition," Senator Rick Santorum from The Daily Beast


That's a very strong statement. Some wonder if the senator is barking-at-the-moon mad. Santorum is undeterred. Campaigning in Arizona, he asserted his right to speak out about "good and evil." He referenced former President Ronald Reagan as one political leader who shared this view. Santorum also shares Reagan's strongly held conviction that trees cause pollution.

Look who is donating to climate change deniers!

By Michael Collins

[center][/center]

The nation's largest software company, the two largest cable companies, and four leading pharmaceutical companies are among companies donating $10,000 or more to a climate change denier association. DESMOGBLOG.COM received the fundraising plan and other documents from the Heartland Institute, a climate denier foundation. The institute's documents were published on DESMOGBLOG's web site with analysis since Tuesday.

Some of the corporations donating claimed that their money was for other projects, not climate change denial efforts. That's sort of like saying that they donated to al Qaeda but not for that terrorist business.
