Rick Santorum Rick Santorum Said He Wants to WIPE OUT Libertarianism!!

[ONUV]

what a creep

 

[Gravik]

“[Libertarians] have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do. Government should keep our taxes down and keep our regulation low and that we shouldn’t get involved in the bedroom, we shouldn’t get involved in cultural issues, you know, people should do whatever they want. Well, that is not how traditional conservatives view the world, and I think most conservatives understand that individuals can’t go it alone.” -Santorum


That quote made me shake my head...

 

[lilymc]

“[I will] fight very strongly against libertarian influence within the Republican party and the conservative movement., he said last June. And in 2005, he remarked, “[Libertarians] have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do. Government should keep our taxes down and keep our regulation low and that we shouldn’t get involved in the bedroom, we shouldn’t get involved in cultural issues, you know, people should do whatever they want. Well, that is not how traditional conservatives view the world, and I think most conservatives understand that individuals can’t go it alone.”

I want to share this...but can someone post the source for this? Where/when exactly he said it? I googled it, but only found it on a few sites that also didn't post a source. (as far as I saw.)

Of course he does. He's a pure statist. I'm sorry, but he's worse than Romney.

Romney, Santorum and Gingrich are all Statists of the First Order.

Santorum is the worst of the bunch because he's also a Theist. He not only wants to impose the State on the rest of us, he also wants to impose his religion.

He is far worse than Romney. I am pretty sure most Ron Paul supporters know that. Romney copies many of Ron Paul's idea like cutting the federal workforce by 10%. Santorum makes fun of Ron Paul and calls his ideas extremist. Santorum is much worse!

 

[Keith and stuff]

fwiw, Romney would be all for any type of "freedom" as long as it boosts his bottom line (i.e. potential voters, favorability ratings). Santorum can't stand freedom as a philosophical matter - he wants populist authoritarianism consistent with his war-christianity. He thinks sins should be outlawed and prosecuted without consideration of the costs of doing so, and that he can pick and choose industries to be economic winners (his "domestic energy program").

Santorum is the most hard-line anti-freedom candidate.

I completely agree. Romney isn't horrible. He is the 2nd best candidate in the race. Santorum is by far the worst. He is completely bad and it is insane that he is winning states. That is the what the GOP stands for nationally, unfortunately!

Thanks!! I was actually just looking at some vids on YouTube and I did find that one too. Yes, that's the quote... I guess the clip cut off the last sentence that was posted here, and then jumped to something else he said later in his interview.

Also, this must be from another interview: "[I will] fight very strongly against libertarian influence within the Republican party and the conservative movement." so I still have to figure out where he said that.

Sheesh, now I want to put together a very short video on him, contrasting his words with what Reagan said about libertarianism being "the heart and soul of conservatism." (as this guy blogged about here.)

Augh, I've got too many projects going on at once!

Romney wants a minimum wage that rises with inflation. That's worse than Obama. All Hell would break loose. Romney is the 3rd best candidate after Obama. Obama can't tarnish the conservative ideology like a RINO can. All Obama can do is wake people up to failed liberal policies.

 

[KnowNothing]

Romney is psycho. Minimum wage would be like $1000.

 

[A. Havnes]

Of course he said that. Rick Santorum is a miniature dictator. He mistakes conservatism with a theocracy, which is dangerous no matter the religion involved. It's possible to be a social conservative and not want the government interfering with your bedroom, the culture, etc. That's the kind of stuff churches and other religious institutions are in charge of, and the day the government gets involved at the federal level will be the day the church loses, because just around the corner will be a social liberal prepared for the presidency. I doubt the church would like that!

OMG! What a creep!

Full quote:

Santorum . . . Just Go Away.

“I am not a libertarian, and I fight very strongly against libertarian influence within the Republican Party and the conservative movement. I don’t think the libertarians have it right when it comes to what the Constitution is all about. I don’t think they have it right as to what our history is, and we are not a group of people who believe in no government.”

Ayatollah Santorum

Santorum = dictator.

If someone held up a gun to my head and told me to pick one: Obama and Santorum. I would seriously go with Obama. That is how much Santorum scares me.

I'll take Romney over Obama but not Santorum, no way.
