Santorum is doing that thing again

[Askold]

You know, that thing of his? That thing where he is being stupid:

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/09/09/rick-santorum-lets-call-secularism-a-religion-so-it-can-be-banned-from-the-classroom/

“I think we should start calling secularism a religion,” Santorum told a grinning Fischer. “Because if we did, then we could ban that, too, because that’s what they’ve done: they’ve hidden behind the fact that the absence of religion is not a religion of itself.”

Please pay attention to the last bit, he is aknowledging that secularism is not a religion, but wants to call it one anyway just to be a dick!

And I just can't look at him without thinking I'd like to punch him. Look at that face:

Doesn't that look like a face that should be punched?

[Art Vandelay]

So can we use that logic for other things? How about math is a religion, and therefore should be banned. Or what about teaching is a religion, and therefore we should ban teachers from schools. Why should we let those bastards hide behind the fact that math and teaching aren't religions? I've got drooling fucking idiots to pander to, goddamnit.

This is an old joke.....

but seriously....Where was this guy when his god was handing out the brains?

[Dakota Bob]

Friendly reminder that there are people dumb enough to vote for this idiot. I feel bad for you guys.

Every country has 'em, its just that ours bothers to give them the time of day, now.  Someone needs to invent a time machine and send these kinds of people back to the Bronze Age where they desperately want to live.  If the diseases don't kill 'em, the bandits will.

I'd suggest we deport him, but I don't think any country would accept him.

What about the Sun?

[ironbite]

Why would we poison our sun?

Given he acts like he knows so much about hell, how about we throw him down that hole in Russia and wonder if he ends up crashing into Old Scratch's House?

[Id82]

He looks like Nicholas Cage.

[Alehksunos]

And I just can't look at him without thinking I'd like to punch him. Look at that face:

*smug mugshot*

Doesn't that look like a face that should be punched?

Anyone who smiles like that I want to punch in the face, regardless.

Darn secularists and their "facts"

Actually, he doesn't acknowledge it. The quote goes on to say "...,which in fact it is, because [some nonsense about moral values]".

The quote on the page didn't have that bit, it must have been on the video.

For fuck's sakes.  Secularism is the idea that no religion gets pandered to.   It is therefore NOT a religion.  Yes, gone are the days when the Catholic Church could snap its fingers and order the execution of anyone who wasn't cowering prostrate quick enough.  What a tragedy.

I'm glad that Bryan and Frothy in spite of their supposed intelligence can't figure that out.
