The Right Scoop
You can call it "faith" but that doesn't hide that it's stupid and insane. Adult human persons whose model of reality is that shouldn't hold positions of power where their decisons can affect you or I or my son.
You believe that Lucifer/Beelzebub/Satan are actual beings? That the Devil was one of Yahweh's archangels who was cast into Hell but allowed to do evil to human beings? That Satan commands an army of demons who inflict misery on us, including demonic possession which is the cause of mental debilities, but which can be exorcised by rituals performed by guys wearing pimp suits? You really think that Gabriel and Michael command armies of "good" angels that oppose Satan's demons?
Because Rick Santorum believes those things. That makes him willfully stupid and stark-raving nuts. That means he shouldn't be making any decisions that can affect me or my kid. If that model of reality is one that isn't obviously absurd to you, then you are far gone too.
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing. (Matthew 23:37)
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him. (John 3:36)
Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:11-15)
You seem to have a lot of faith in your unsubstantiated opinion.
That has to be difficult for you, since you seem so opposed to the concept.
I recommend a dose of reason.
Since there was nothing offensive or untrue in what Santorum is saying, why is this considered a hit-piece on Santorum?
I heard portions of this a week ago, so it isn't like Drudge broke the story.
Here's the ad hoc liberal committee of the all things political and religious, telling policticians what they should and shouldn't do and say about religion...

They didn't waste much time trying to slow Santorum down on this....
Has Matt Drudge Joined the Republican Establishment?
By Richard A. Viguerie | 2/21/12
http://www.conservativehq.com/article/6811-has-matt-drudge-joined-republican-establishment
I guess I am lost as to what the terrible thing is here, warranting front page headlights on Drudge. Nothing I heard Santorum say bothered me.
Right on! This could certainly be potential attacks for Rick, but I choose to see this in a positive light. I would say this speech shows the American people that Rick DOES know and understand what is going on in our country, and he's not shy from speaking the truth. That's a definite plus to me.
It also says he knows a lot about his faith and religion with I doubt many other so called "Christians" on Capital Hill can say.
Matt Drudge and Ann Coulter are both pathetic in this regard. They are lukewarm Conservatives making millions off of the rest of us. It is time for Sean, Mark, Rush et al. to speak out and denounce them both. Unless they do, Matt and Ann will never change their despicable behavior.
P.S. It is truly sad when CNN has more fairly-worded headlines concerning Newt and Santorum than DrudgeReport these days! Conservatives were supposed to read "Rules for Radicals" to see what the left is up to; not to implement the left's tactics against their own!
Nah. We're doing it right here. The word of mouth is out. Ann and Matt are the kinds of conservatives that eat their own.

TheFix How important is Romney campaign manager Matt Rhoades' connection to Matt Drudge in this race? ANSWER: Very.
Mitt Romney leads the Drudge primary:
Frustrated rivals think they know the secret: a low-profile, hard-driving Republican operative named Matt Rhoades, who is Romney’s campaign manager. Rhoades met Drudge, as POLITICO Editor-in-Chief John F. Harris and co-author Mark Halperin reported in their book “The Way to Win: Taking the White House in 2008,” when he became research director of the Republican National Committee and was introduced by his predecessor on a special trip to Miami. Rhoades has since been seen as a pipeline to the reclusive Drudge, who now has two veteran Washington reporters working on the site as well.
“No one has displaced Matt Rhoades in the Republican firmament as the go-to Drudge guy,” said a top GOP operative who, like others, spoke on condition of anonymity to avoid angering the powerful online entrepreneur.
This is no academic question for the likes of Newt Gingrich, Tim Pawlenty, Jon Huntsman and Michele Bachmann — all elbowing for the cascading attention Drudge can bring.
“It’s no secret that Matt Drudge has a high-level friend inside the Romney camp, but his favoritism puts him noticeably out of step with other conservative media,” said an aide to one of Romney’s Republican rivals. “Sometimes it’s bias by exclusion, like when conservatives universally slam Romney for his RomneyCare speech and Drudge gives him a pass.
“He’s been tough on all of Romney’s rivals,” grumbled another candidate’s aide.
Remember, ALINKSY dedicated Rules for Radicals to SATAN.
Hillary and O should have no argument, right?
Why didn't Drudge make this about Romney's Mormonism? He could have had the headline:
ROMNEY BELIEVES: JESUS AND SATAN BROTHERS!
(animated siren below)
Just listen to this speech by President Reagan, and imagine if it was Rick Santorum giving the speech instead. Reagan talks about C.S.Lewis and "old Screwtape" (which is the devil), and talks a lot about the need for God vs. totalitarianism.
What would the Drudge headline be if Santorum gave a speech mentioning "old Screwtape"??? What would the headline be if he gave this speech word for word, talking about Iran today?
I think that puts it all in perspective.
Also think of if Santorum called possibly Iran but nonetheless, Godless and an Evil Empire as Reagan did to the Soviets. What would people say now? "You can't call them that! Thats mean and provocative!"
Dittos and Maybe...
Thanks for the url xjesterx,
Evil Empire - Read the full speech here -
>> http:// <> millercenter. <> org/scripps/archive/speeches/detail/3409
Maybe Santorum should simply quote from this Reagan speech where Reagan mentions, at 2min. -
>> http:// <> youtu. <> be/do0x-Egc6oA
"... with regard to the physical and the soul about what was truly important.
"Yes, let us pray, for the salvation of all of those who live in that totalitarian darkness.
"Pray that they will discover the joy of knowing God.
"But, until they do, let us be aware that while they preach the supremacy of the state, declare it's omnipotence over individual man and predict it's eventual domination of all people's on the earth, they are the focus of evil in the modern world."

Hey, pretty cool...Rush just played this video. Glad to know I think at least a little bit like El Rushbo!!!!
anyone who is put off by drudge report needs to stop visiting that site. I took it off my book mark as well as National Review Online when it became obvious they were supporting a RINO.
God talk, huh...
Ok.
When Yahuah (... some prefer Yahueh, some prefer Yahweh), the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob (renamed Israel) and Joseph and Moses and David and Solomon and the son of Yahuah, Yahusha (Iesou ... Jesus), is brought into the conversation in a positive way as Rick Santorum and Glenn Beck and Rabbi Daniel Lapin and Kylie Bisutti, the former Victoria's Secret model, are doing with honest and honorable intent...
... look for the pillar of fire and the pillar of cloud... to show the way to freedom.
And, when the dust settles...
Lift Up Jesus ONLY and Jesus Will Lift You Up...
See You At The Resurrection

does anyone recall obama's support for the Illinois law regarding abortions?
http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/archive/ldn/2008/aug/08081101#
I think where Rick made his mistake in this was as a Catholic he should have not mentioned nor attacked other denominations. If he wanted to criticize he should have done so with Catholicism. As a Catholic myself I know there is much within my own denomination which is amiss without pointing the finger at someone else. The rest of what he said is true; the nation is on a fast track to hell in a handbasket if we don't get some godly leadership soon.
Well, Santorum is telling the truth...whether people want to admit it or not, we ARE in a spiritual battle. Look at where we are now vis a vis God...people of faith are constantly attacked; progressives are on a nonstop fight to eliminate God altogether; obama and his acolytes support the murder of unborn children under the guise of women's rights and the Constitution; they seek to destroy our freedoms...the list goes on and on but yes we are in a struggle and that struggle occurs on many levels.
Watch Franklin Graham Question President Obama’s Faith, Explain Why Mormons Aren’t Christian On Morning Joe
About time. Will the media try to crucify Graham as well?
Drudge's attack on Newt was intentional, systematic, malicious and thorough.
Every adjective, headline and photo was negative, ugly, mean. Pure spite.
It was a vicious smear courtesy of Romney. True Alinsky job.
Now he's after Rick Santorum. Drudge is in the Romney camp.
Here are some of the Drudge Media connections:
Clear Channel / Premiere Broadcasting Networks is owned by Bain.
Drudge’s former radio show was syndicated through Premiere Broadcasting Networks, but that went off the air in 2007.
Drudge still fills in as a guest host on Clear Channel syndicated shows at times.
There doesn’t seem to be a (known) direct ownership link to his web site, however.
Other Drudge connections:
Breitbart works with Drudge. They are very close friends.
Two Washington Times 'journalists' Joseph Curl and Charlie Hurt work for Drudge too now.
Story of Drudge/Romney axis - http://www.damndirtyrino.com/2011/10/04/the-drudge-romney-axis/
It's all in the family. Watch all these names to see how they push Romney and either slam and smear or withhold any good news and views of Rick and Newt.
Same with the MSM - they only give true conservatives air time so they can gather enough fuel to attack and destroy them.
This speech makes me respect Rick Santorum even more.
Now I know he is a man of God, has spiritual insight and means business.
HE WAS SPEAKING AT A CATHOLIC SCHOOL TO CATHOLICS
Do you not believe in GOD? if you do you MUST believe in satan.
He was not giving a political speech.He was talking to a group of catholics about his faith and his beliefs.
using his faith as a political weapon, shame on you.
BTW Newt aint got a prayer. He's catholic too. He'll be next
I started a few weeks ago when it became obvious with the Newt attacks that Drudge is just more of the same, trying to brain wash with headlines. Not a reliable news source anymore, I've moved on
WWWWOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!! He's dead on!!! Folks, I know many of you don't know what to think about this speech the next POTUS made, but I can tell you he is exaxtly right. If the people don't line up behind this then it tells me alot about them and it's also the reason why the country is the way it is. It's time to make a choice. You can't middle of the road this thing anymore. Everyone wants to live their lives and be left alone, but I'm here to tell you, it's not going to happen that way. You don't want a personal relationship with Jesus Christ because you don't want to be religious. A personal relationship with Christ is where religion dies. It's freedom from sin and religious legalism. Jesus Christ was not just another man. He is God in the flesh. God conceived Himself into flesh by the Holy Ghost. He took the penalty for our sins so we can stand before God innocent and not have to burn in Hell forever. The wages of sins is death. Praise Him for what He has done for you. I fully support everything Rick Santorum said here and if the people of this country don't pull their heads out of their rear ends and wake up and defend America at the ballot box.....well, then have it your way. It won't matter much then anyway because it will all be over soon. You who don't want to be religious remember this time when some ignorant muslim holds an old butcher knife to your throat and tells you to convert to Islam or your're dead. You don't want religion pushed on you?? Just wait. The time is coming when you will have to choose. This country has to stop turning its back on Christ in order to survive. Repent and be born again. This is what Satan is trying to stop because he knows it's the only way to escape his grip. Please humble yourselves and take on a repentant heart. This is the only way.
right on!! Great statement...let's hope our beloved country starts to awaken to the traps and snares laid out by the enemy and his complicit stooges
I agree completely. Satan is a real, live, evil, fallen angel. Not make believe. I believe in him as a real entity, just as I believe in Jesus Christ as the real Son of God.
We aren't there yet, but in my America, you're allowed to say things like that without being dragged off to the loony bin.
Well good for Drudge. Maybe he can "drudge" up some more dirt, get it? Last poll I saw from Rassmussen was that Santorum was only two points behind Obama in a daily poll.
Sad that even trusted conservative sites have now joined in the smear campaign against anyone but Romney. How much are you getting paid Matt? Douche.
I removed Drudge from my bookmarks and off my iPad after his attack on Gingrich. I use BadBlue and memeorandum for my news links, and of course, Instapundit, which would almost be enough on its own for news. (BadBlue is more general than memeorandum, which is specifically politics in its focus.)
Santo wears sweater vests & believes Satan is real. So do I (minus sweater vest part). Most Christians over last 2K yrs agree. News? Really?
I hope all Christians believe that Satan is real. After all he is in the bible and the root of all sin.
Whats the quote? "The greatest trick the devil ever played was to get you to not believe in him." (something like that)
Distractions & more distractions and Santorum has agreed to play.
Where was all this outcry when they were spending 17 million dollars trashing Newt Gingrich. Santorum has invited these attacks by being so Pharisaical early in the campaign. He came across like the most righteous & pure candidate in the pack. (In my opinion, however, the most unforgiving).
Now his campaign is more like he is running for pope than president. He needs to step away from these arguments and start presenting his out view for this country.
The biggest problem I am having is telling the good guys from the bad guys. This is like playing a game of touch football, and everyone is wearing the same jersey.
The establishment must be defeated before we defeat Obama. Who cares what Drudge thinks. What goes up will come down. 12 months from now Drudge will be a memory if they stay with their biased reporting. Romney will be a has been. The key to winning the election for the people is to make sure that the vote counting is not compromised by corrupt unions, voting places, etc.
I think Santorum & Newt have the right heart to make changes, I just happen to think Newt is better prepared to do it now.
Santorum needs to step away from reacting to every news story. His press secretary needs to step up.
