A Course in Miracles: Rick Santorum For Grand Inquisitor?

Rick Santorum is a would-be right wing dictator. He cringes at people living an unorthodox lifestyle of their own choosing, and would use government force to herd everyone into living his particular interpretation of Christian ethics.

Of course, Barack Obama has his own leftist misinterpretation of Christian ethics called "forced redistribution of wealth," as if Jesus Christ would resort to highway robbery of wealth producers to help the poor. Obama and Santorum are two sides of the same coin. So much for separation of religion and state.

Both Rick Santorum and Barack Obama want to use government legislation and decrees to attempt to force into existence their version of a Utopian society. That's known as Fascism. Neither of them believes in allowing people to make their own free choices.

Rick Santorum is the would-be Grand Inquisitor of the Twenty-first Century. People must not be allowed to make wrong choices. Despite the fact that wrong choices lead to lessons learned, and learned lessons are the mechanism of men and women growing and creating a society of greater well-being, Santorum will have none of it. He would save people's souls by government force. This is no different in principle than Obama trying to assure by government force that people have food stamps, housing, health insurance, or other bodily welfare.

In truth, neither people's physical well-being nor their spiritual well-being is the proper business of government. If politicians minded their own business, government would do nothing other than respond when someone violates the right of another person's free choice and freedom of action. Government is an infrastructure for handing rights violations.

As far as using government force to further their own Utopian dreams, Santorum is no better than Obama. And even though independent-minded voters who decide elections are currently in hesitation mode regarding the socialist religion of Obama, they are even more disinterested in creating a religious theocracy that amounts to an Evangelical Christian dictatorship.

The Republican Party's image is, of course, in the eyes of the beholder. But if independents see the GOP as the party of hard-core evangelicals, such an image will emasculate the party as a check and balance to the leftist socialism of the Democratic Party. And talk about evangelical self-sabotage, if the Democratic Party is not stopped, America will "burn in the fires of hell," so to speak.

Emperor Nero is said to have fiddled and sang while Rome burned. Rick Santorum seems intent on crooning an ego-inspired ballad while he leads the Republican Party into chaos, thus assuring Barack Obama's reelection and the destruction of America. If you don't mind seeing America go up in flames, go ahead and sing along with Rick these closing lyrics of a popular song:

They're seriously mistaken
Cause I'll take them
Down with me
And just before they're finished
They'll scream
Along with me

To really understand the evil psychology of modern "liberal progressives," read Ayn Rand's entire novel "Atlas Shrugged"

"God's laws will keep your minds at peace, because peace IS His Will, and His laws are established to uphold it. His are the laws of freedom, but yours are the laws of bondage. Since freedom and bondage are irreconcilable, their laws CANNOT BE UNDERSTOOD TOGETHER. The laws of God work only for your good, and there ARE no other laws beside His. Everything else is merely lawLESS, and therefore chaotic." -Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles
