Rick Santorum, No Facts, Just the Bible

 Santorum Drops By Iowa State FairImage by TalkMediaNews via Flickr
From the Des Moines Register
Discussing controversial classroom subjects such as evolution and global warming, Santorum said he has suggested that “science should get out of politics” and he is opposed to teaching that provides a “politically correct perspective.”


Rick Santorum would like to get science out of politics and the classroom in order to make room for religion in politics and the classroom.   He suggests that the government stop using data and facts to guide policy decisions and instead consult him and his little black bible.  Rick Santorum thinks that global warming is junk science and that climate change is a hoax, unsurprisingly, Mr. Santorum has no data to support his claims.  Not only does he want gays to stop having sex, he wants to make contraception illegal so sex is "only for procreation", again no data to support his position other than the scrawlings of long dead bronze aged goat herders.  America are you ready to remove science from religion and politics?  A majority of US congressmen believe in "millionaire job creators", "the job fairy" and the equally imaginary benefits of "trickle down economic theory" in spite of any reliable economic data to support those beliefs.  Fortunately, a recent Gallup poll of republican voters found that Rick Santorum was the least acceptable candidate at 27%.   Rick Santorum's campaign is not concerned about the polling, similar to evolution, climate change and teenage pregnancy statistics- its just data.
