Rick Santorum Claims ‘Pursuit of Happiness’ Doesn’t Apply to Gays

Separation of Church and State you Douche nozzle. If I see one more person call themselves a constitutional conservative and then claim that not all Americans deserve the same rights, I’m gunna go crazy.

Yeah let’s follow the moral compass of the Founding Fathers.  I’ve been wanting some slaves to do my laundry….

You know what rally scares me? I studied Revelations, and the anti christ, Every single presidential candidate that I have read about lately except one, has all been about God this God that…. You know … Do you ever wonder what God thinks when he hears all these people saying “Well god told me to  do this” or “I want to thank god for getting me here” You ever wonder if he ever says “Who the hell are these people”

I wonder if Rick Perry realizes that of the key Founding Fathers (Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, George Washington, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, John Adams, John Jay) only John Jay was was an orthodox Christian.  Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, George Washington, and Ben Franklin were deists.  John Adams was a Unitarian.  Therefore, it is highly unlikely that they would have put anything relating to God in the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, or the Constitution.  I also wonder if Rick Perry has heard of the Treaty of Tripoli from 1796 that makes it VERY clear that this country was not founded on Christianity or Christian principles.

He must have been absent in all history classes.  The Roman emperor’s all claimed to be “chosen” by “God”.  Also the first amendment includes freedom of religion, thus, he clearly cannot say “God” without taking into consideration the religion(s) of all those that are listening to him speak.
The ignorance of some people just astounds me.

Ah, yes, the Declaration of Independence.  I remember talking much about this in government class.

It’s only a declaration, that’s it.  It talks about rights that were denied to colonial citizens but were given to citizens in England.  Remember, America was really part of England when that was written.  It basically says, “Here’s what you’ve done that we know is against our God-given rights Mr. King.”

And really, you can’t use it to argue anything about what rights we have.  It has absolutely no legal power, at all.  So really, there’s no use in trying to use it to say, “This is what the constitution means,” especially since it has nothing to do about the constitution at all.  I’ll say it again, it about the rights that they were denied as citizens.

This being said, the phrase “all men are created equal” was most likely about the unfair treatment of British citizens based solely on if they lived in the American colonies or not.  As much as I would love to use that phrase to say that the founding fathers believed that everyone is equal regardless of sexual orientation, I cannot.

And if we really wanted to get to what their definition of “citizen” was back then, well that would be every land-owning, white, male person.  Well look at that, I guess the founding fathers would be pretty upset about our definition of “citizen,” then, right?  But goodness!  Changes to the constitution called amendments changed that?  Oh how un-American.

So really, point is, the Declaration of Independence really is about rights that citizens living in America were denied.  So, how on Earth can one use it to deny rights to citizens living in America now?

I dont think he know the meaning of what is moral.

What? The founding fathers specifically wanted our nation to have a separation of church and state because crazy people like Santorum got into power in England (hint: the Church of England) and tyrannized the country. That was why the American Revolution happened, so the colonies would not suffer the same fate.

Our nation’s rights and laws certainly do not “come from God.” They were agreed upon by our own people. Santorum and every ignorant cretin like him make me sick…and scared because they spew ridiculous lies left and right and the general population (who apparently never payed attention in any history class, ever) eat it up and seem to be none the wiser.
