Santorum in the Philly Inquirer: Obama hates America, blah, blah, blah, teh gays are evil blah

The Elephant in the Room: Obama vs. United States
The president is contemptuous of American values. And one key nominee prefers the judgment of other countries and global elites.
By Rick Santorum

Watching President Obama apologize last week for America's arrogance - before a French audience that owes its freedom to the sacrifices of Americans - helped convince me that he has a deep-seated antipathy toward American values and traditions. His nomination of former Yale Law School Dean Harold Koh to be the State Department's top lawyer constitutes further evidence of his disdain for American values.

This seemingly obscure position in Foggy Bottom's bureaucratic maze is one of the most important in any administration, shaping foreign policy in the courts and playing a critical role in international negotiations and treaties.

Let's set aside Koh's disputed comments about the possible application of Sharia law in American jurisprudence. The pick is alarming for more fundamental reasons having to do with national sovereignty and constitutional self-governance.

What is indisputable is that Koh calls himself a "transnationalist." He believes U.S. courts "must look beyond national interest to the mutual interests of all nations in a smoothly functioning international legal regime. ..."

2. Shorter Ricky: We're not humankind, we're Americans!
God, I loathe that man. I am so glad we are rid of him here, only having to hear him beat his various dead horses in the Inky on Thursdays. I stopped getting the daily paper, but when I did, I would put it down, Santorum's face up, for the dogs to pee on.

5. Hey, Rick. Go back to Virginia. You haven't lived in Pennsylvania for a long time ...
... including WHILE you were representing us as (ick) our senator. You AREN'T a Pennsylvanian; a rental property and some resident relatives do not a Keystone Stater make.

So keep your crap out of our newspapers.
