But Ostap said that no nation without a state church has ever survived.

America has never had a state church. Do you believe it hasn't survived?

That is a false construct. Rump rangers are perverts first and formost. It a false construction to make them appear as something else. Calling a spade a spade. Simple truth.

The question asks if you think the Catholic morality should be imposed on you.

Its better than princple, moral, and value free morality the the progressive leftists are offering. I understand perfectly.

You have no other Choice: Either the Western Civilization will go back to its Christian routes or will be governed by the Sharia Law.

So you support a valuefree institution that is about nothing. Typical of leftists.

To me, this wacko is un-American, and no different than the taliban. He was disgusted at Kennedy's remarks for promising not to impose his faith on others? If thats not openly admitting he wants a theocracy then I don't know what is. Bottom line is this guy has archaic, hateful, and bigoted views for those who do not share is "morals". Go away Rick America hates you and your type of faith. (on second thought win the nomination so Obama can win a second term).

Technically speaking, for him to apply his opposition to separation between church and state, he would have to overturn Reynolds v. United States and Everson v. Board of Education. If he cannot, his comments are mere baseless talking points.

However, outside of these two court cases, the idea of separation between church and state is merely philosophical. Thomas Jefferson wrote a letter in 1802 to the Danbury Baptist Association over concerns that the Connecticut government did not guarantee religious freedom as a right. In his letter, Jefferson, being the state's rights ideologue he was ignored the limits imposed by Connecticut, but did affirm that on the national level, there should be a "wall of separation".

Now, being the Conservative Rick Santorum is, I find it odd that he would disregard such a timeless philosophy of one of the greatest founding fathers. I guess Santorum sympathizes more with Alexander Hamilton rather than Jefferson.
