"We will never have the media on our side, ever, in this country," Santorum, a former Pennsylvania senator, told the audience at the Omni Shoreham hotel. "We will never have the elite, smart people on our side."
The media "doesn't like the other side," Santorum said. "And not necessarily, I would argue, because they agree with them, but because they can influence the country.
"If just a few people make decisions about what this world looks like, what this country looks like, then you have people sitting in offices at major media outlets and Hollywood who think they can deal with a small group of people, to get them to jump through the hoops they want you to," Santorum said.
Santorum also criticized the libertarian wing of the Republican party for not supporting what he sees as the pillars of conservatism: religion and family.
"When it comes to conservatism libertarian types can say, oh, well you know, we don't want to talk about social issues," Santorum said. "Without the church and the family, there is no conservative movement, there is no basic values of America."
Folks, ya just can't make shit like this up...and this man was an elected official and a serious contender for the GOP.
The lights are on, but nobody's home.

I basically interpreted his speech as a call for Christian theocracy in America. The Republican party has been taken over by radical Christians who want nothing less than Biblical law in our country and throughout the world. Funny, haven't we been at war now for 10+ years because of religious fanatics who want THEIR religion to be the law of the land? This is exactly why I support the abolishment of ALL religion.
