Rick Santorum isn’t what you’d think. He’s exactly as he says, though most people don’t listen. He’s the biggest of ‘Big Government’ politicians.

Under president Rick you couldn’t buy rubbers, gays couldn’t marry, pregnant women would always become mothers, and the Army would immediately begin bombing Iran. Santorum America would be something like a Christian fascist state. Some folks love that idea enough to grease its every corner and joint:

Debunking the myth of Santorum’s “big government conservatism”
Chris Adamo | Renew America

The essence of the attack on Santorum is that he cannot claim to be truly conservative, since he recognizes the responsibilities of a just government in the protection of the unborn, and maintaining such time-honored cornerstones of our society, and civilization in general, as traditional marriage . .

Nevertheless, Santorum does understand that government is vested with certain responsibilities to intervene in the lives of the citizenry, particularly on behalf of those who are the most helpless.

Rick debunks the debunk:

“Some will reject what I have to say as a kind of ‘Big Government’ conservatism.”

To wit:

“This whole idea of personal autonomy, well I don’t think most conservatives hold that point of view. Some do. They have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do, government should keep our taxes down and keep our regulations low, that we shouldn’t get involved in the bedroom, we shouldn’t get involved in cultural issues. You know, people should do whatever they want. Well, that is not how traditional conservatives view the world and I think most conservatives understand that individuals can’t go it alone. That there is no such society that I am aware of, where we’ve had radical individualism and that it succeeds as a culture.”

Clear enough? Liberty isn’t for you.

“This is the mantra of the left: I have a right to do what I want to do” and “We have a whole culture that is focused on immediate gratification and the pursuit of happiness . . . and it is harming America.”

You’re screwing up the country.
