Rick Santorum’s comments about involuntary euthanasia in The Netherlands have triggered a furious backlash from that country’s citizens. On Friday’s The Rachel Maddow Show, Rachel welcomed Dutch news anchor Erik Mouthaan, who discussed how the Dutch people are reacting to the former Republican Senator’s remarks.

Maybe he needs to Fact Check instead of pushing the propaganda?

And thats the kind of President we need! Someone who's not afraid to making sweeping inflammatory false statements about our allies. Who cares if hes right or wrong, as long as hes passionate.

He's passionate in his stupidity, I guess. I think the President should ask him to apologize for lying about the Dutch, and do so on all TV Networks.

Santorum's own irrelevancy will naturally do him in...

...but by opening your proposed door, President Obama would have to apologize to the American people for lying to them.

Right?

There is talk that the Dutch ambassador was going to demand a public apology.

Yep and for not having the balls to enforce the laws equally.

He could call it a cleansing moment and make like he meant it too. :D
 
Facts are to a political narrative and religion (coincidence I linked those two together? I think not) are what Kryptonite is to Superman-Deadly.
 
As the World Spins: the Resurgence of the Religious Right

Again last week, Alabama Sen. Shadrack McGill stood in front of a small group to explain his earlier comments about teacher pay at a prayer breakfast two weeks before. When he told the folks at the prayer breakfast that teachers shouldn’t be paid better because it would bring the wrong people into the profession, he was speaking about balance.

You see, McGill has read the Bible, in which he learned that God weighed the mountains and the valleys on a scale. He believes this, not in any metaphorical way, but very much in the literal sense: God measured every thing’s weight the same way your butcher prices a slab of bacon for you at the grocery store. You could, of course, ask why God would have to weigh anything — doesn’t He just know? But that would require some thinking, and for McGill, thinking can be a dangerous thing. And he’s put a lot of thought into why the Almighty puts so much attention into the weights and measures of the landscape.

“My answer to that is that he knew he was going to be spinning it real fast, and it needed to be in balance,” McGill said.

That's so spiritual.

It’s early yet, but if the rest of 2012 follows the first two months, this will be the year of the Republican Party’s missed opportunity: When Americans were in general agreement that government had grown too big, and too costly rather than exploiting that conventional sentiment, the GOP decided its time was better spent making women into baby farms. When the public believed government had become too intrusive, the religious right decided it hadn’t gone far enough. Just like 1992, the GOP is turning control of the party over to religious chauvinists and driving women voters (and many men, too) away — just where the Democrats would have them.

John F. Kennedy in 1960, addressing Protestant ministers in Houston:
I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute, where no Catholic prelate would tell the president (should he be Catholic) how to act, and no Protestant minister would tell his parishioners for whom to vote; where no church or church school is granted any public funds or political preference; and where no man is denied public office merely because his religion differs from the president who might appoint him or the people who might elect him.

I believe in an America that is officially neither Catholic, Protestant nor Jewish; where no public official either requests or accepts instructions on public policy from the Pope, the National Council of Churches or any other ecclesiastical source; where no religious body seeks to impose its will directly or indirectly upon the general populace or the public acts of its officials; and where religious liberty is so indivisible that an act against one church is treated as an act against all.

For while this year it may be a Catholic against whom the finger of suspicion is pointed, in other years it has been, and may someday be again, a Jew— or a Quaker or a Unitarian or a Baptist. It was Virginia's harassment of Baptist preachers, for example, that helped lead to Jefferson's statute of religious freedom. Today I may be the victim, but tomorrow it may be you — until the whole fabric of our harmonious society is ripped at a time of great national peril.

Finally, I believe in an America where religious intolerance will someday end; where all men and all churches are treated as equal; where every man has the same right to attend or not attend the church of his choice; where there is no Catholic vote, no anti-Catholic vote, no bloc voting of any kind; and where Catholics, Protestants and Jews, at both the lay and pastoral level, will refrain from those attitudes of disdain and division which have so often marred their works in the past, and promote instead the American ideal of brotherhood.

Rick Santorum's response:
That makes me throw up.
