But Santorum said he did not support a state in which English was not the primary language.
“Like any other state, there has to be compliance with this and any other federal law,” Santorum said. “And that is that English has to be the principal language. There are other states with more than one language such as Hawaii but to be a state of the United States, English has to be...

"Obamacare is in fact the death knell for freedom"
Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum opened a campaign stop in Huntsville today by saying President Barack Obama does not believe in the principles America was founded on in 1776.
“He takes more and more money from you, takes more and more freedom from you, and thinks he’s making your life better,” Santorum said.
Santorum told a crowd of more than 500 people at the...

Obvious hypocrite
There are 18,000 married gay and lesbian couples in California and at least 131,000 nationwide according to the 2010 census, conducted before New York state legalized same-sex marriage in July.
Rick Santorum says he’ll try to unmarry all of them if he’s elected president.
Once the U.S. Constitution is amended to prohibit same-gender marriages, “their marriage would be...

“President Obama wants everybody in America to go to college. What a snob. There are good, decent men and women who work hard every day and put their skills to the test that aren’t taught by some liberal college professor. … That’s why he wants you to go to college. He wants to remake you in his image. I want to create jobs so people can remake their children into their image, not his.”

“But the idea that the federal government should be running schools, frankly much less that the state government should be running schools, is anachronistic. It goes back to the time of industrialization of America when people came off the farms where they did home-school or have the little neighborhood school, and into these big factories, so we built equal factories called public...

Santorum, an outspoken opponent of abortion rights, told the CBS News program “Face the Nation” on Sunday that amniocentesis “more often than not” results in abortion.
“People have the right to do it, but to have the government force people to provide it free, to me, is a bit loaded,” he said.

Wait, is he for or against the repeat of DADT?
“I would say any type of sexual activity has absolutely no place in the military,” Santorum said. “The fact they are making a point to include it as a provision within the military that we are going to recognize a group of people and give them a special privilege to, and removing don’t ask don’t tell. I think tries to inject social policy into the military.”

RICK SANTORUM: I was talking about men’s emotional issues, not women. That’s something I’ve talked about repeatedly. […] Men in our culture are focused on if a woman is in trouble, obviously, to react to try to help to protect and care for that person. That is something that is built in culturally. So my concern is that being in combat in that situation, instead of being focused on the...
