What Santorum, of those who are left in the kkklown kkkar, wants is a theocracy. I think what Santorum's speeches and references suggest is that he wants to create a sort of crypto-Catholic, medievalizing government that monitors women's bodies and what women do with them, wants suffering in a grand old Catholic tradition of days gone by (perhaps with self-flagellation, not sure), a new set of crusades against "the infidel" (Iran especially), and a more modern form of feudal society.

(4,876 posts)it was long and full of pictures and fond memories of what the e-mail called "The Greatest Decade". I sent it back with a reply reminding her about lynchings, racism, segregation, women's rights, birth control, abortion, and a bunch of other stuff.
The 50's were wonderful. If you were a Christian White Male. Which is what they want "back". They want things to be as "great" as they were in the 50's.
