Rick Santorum

[Erth]

How does Santorum demonstrate that he is not a social Darwinist? Are their policies that he advocates that demonstrates that he is not a social Darwinist? Or if that's to specific what are some examples of not being a social Darwinist?

He's against abortion and concerned about the poor.

 

[zoink]

Specifically how does Sanatorium demonstrate concern for the poor? For example does he hold the door for more poor people, does he donate more money, does he work in soup kitchens more, dose he advocate that more of the fruits of another person's labor be taken under threat of violence and used for the benefit of poor people than the other candidates?

Ding, ding , ding... I think we have a winner!

That's a funny way to put things. But the second post in this thread is called "Santorum on the Poor". Check it out.

And you tell me about the answers to your questions if you know them. Don't expect me to be all-knowing, please.

Romney, Gingrich, Paul and Obama are all social darwinists in my opinion.

How is Paul a social Darwinist?

This thread is about Rick Santorum and you are entirely off topic.

Here is clip from one of my favorite commentators:

I'm a funny guy...

But the second post in this thread is called "Santorum on the Poor". Check it out.

Supply side economics demonstrates a higher level of respect and concern for the poor? Then as an extension, he supports supply side economics more than the other candidates?

I believe this is the article that Santorum is referencing: 'Supply-Sider' for the Working Man

And you tell me about the answers to your questions if you know them. Don't expect me to be all-knowing, please.

I don't know the answers. I'm not the one asserting that Santorum has more "respect" and is more "concerned" about the poor than the other candidates. In this context "respect" and "concern" are nothing more than platitudes. Hence why I am trying to find actual demonstrations of how he has more "respect" and "concern" for the poor than the other candidates.

If the poor are straight and Christian, maybe; enough to pay them lip service.

 

[Erth]

It's sad if his concern about the poor is all about lipservice.

Yeah, and I guess I might as well add that you're probably right.

Err...no...that's exactly the way government works.

 

[Erth]

It's not news. It was like that when Jesus walked the earth. He was faced with the question of taxation and did not object to it. If you don't like it then get out of the civilized world and try out doing things on your own.

 

[sea oat]

I'm not a Santorum supporter, but just a word to the wise: "Big gubmint supporter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" is not enough to scare off most non-libertarian, and non-limbaugh lovers from a candidate.

And by the way, mocking someone with the use of anonymous tags is cowardly.

No. Rather than ding ding, this is more like it. Sad Trombone Sound Effect - FAIL Sound - Fail Horns - YouTube

What are you suggesting with this? Who, outside of your paranoid nightmares, advocates taxation through violence?

 

[truthHurts77]

one thing's for sure

the only one worth voting 4 is the one (or 2?) who are REALLY pro life

if they dont care aboutr the most helpless of society's members

they dont care about others either

and again:

if you dont have the right to LIVE

you have NOTHING

So one can't protest any tax that is imposed on people?

It seems you don't support abortion. If there was a tax that funded abortion would you not speak out against it and advocate that others vote against it?

Do you apply this logic to everything governments do?

The issue generally isn't whether or not Christians should pay taxes. Usually the issue is whether people should advocate that politicians have the fruit of another persons labor taken under threat of violence. Some of us believe it's wrong to take the fruit of another person's labor under threat of violence so we vote and advocate that this practice be lessened and/or ceased.

Notice I didn't say "through violence," I said "under threat of violence." A subtle yet important difference, as I don't think many people want physical violence used to collect taxes. They hope everyone pays them without resisting.

Are you saying that if someone doesn't pay their taxes people with badges and guns won't come and take their property and/or put them in a cage? Or do you not consider those to be violent acts?

 

[Jase]

He doesn't think that people deserve less respect because they're poor, for example. It makes me glad because I'm so sick of something that's rather typical of American politics regardless of which party we're talking about: social darwinist dog eat dog logic, and even going so far as trying to make it seem like it's morally right. *puke*

He thinks being gay should be a crime again. You call that respect for human dignity? Santorum is a disgusting human being who will likely get caught in a scandal with a male prostitute eventually.

 

[Jase]

He's against abortion and concerned about the poor.

He's only against abortion if it's not his family And then he doesn't care if they die since he signed an agreement that abortion should be illegal even if the mother's life is in danger.

Meanwhile, his wife had an abortion, and he said that was ok because it was a different situation.

Typical hypocritical conservative theocrat.

Name one thing that Rick Santorum advocates.

People have their property, their health and sometimes their lives taken by violence all the time. The Takers often have guns and they rarely have badges. Sometimes they have a gang affiliation.

We pay taxes to hire police to stop this from happening.
