Santorum: Separation Of Church And State "Makes Me Want To Throw Up"

I keep trying to write about topics other than Rick Santorum and his religious extremism, but the man is making the task very difficult. He keeps on coming out with one insane and frightening statement after another. His latest batshitry is that the concept of the separation of Church and state makes him want to throw up. And this man wants to hold office where he is supposed to uphold the U. S. Constitution? Earlier last week I posted a cartoon comparing Santorum to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. After today's statement, the cartoon comparison is all too applicable. Here are highlights from Huffington Post followed by a video clip:

Rick Santorum on Sunday took on of separation of church and state.

"I don't believe in an America where the separation of church and state are absolute," he told 'This Week' host George Stephanopoulos. "The idea that the church can have no influence or no involvement in the operation of the state is absolutely antithetical to the objectives and vision of our country...to say that people of faith have no role in the public square? You bet that makes me want to throw up."

The GOP candidate was responding to comments he made last October. He had said that he "almost threw up" after reading JFK's 1960 speech in which he declared his commitment to the separation of church and state.

Santorum also on Sunday told Meet The Press host David Gregory that separation of church and state was "not the founders' vision."

This man is down right frightening!
