Want to know how to make Frothy ill? Just talk about separation of church and state! In an interview this morning, Santorum said that when reading JFK's famous speech about separating religion and governing, he "almost threw up." Let's take a look at an excerpt from this apparently sickening speech.

"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 a 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 is different from the President who might appoint him or the people who might elect him."

I can see why this bothers Frothy. President hopeful that gets pushed around by the pope.. check. President hopeful that wants to impose religion on our schools.. check. President who will deny Muslims positions in his administration.. check.

Let's look at some more from JFK.

"I believe in an America.. 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."

So Ricky.. it is sickening to think that one religion should not impose its will upon the people? Really? REALLY?! This sounds an awful lot like a theocracy. Very patriotic. And how about your views on acts against churches that aren't your own? You've said about racial profiling at airports, "Obviously, Muslims would be someone you'd look at, absolutely. The radical Muslims are the people committing these crimes." If someone announced that all Catholics must be patted down before they enter a restaurant if they are identified by wearing a cross, you'd say it was going against your religious liberty. You'd say it was an "attack against the Catholic Church" just like you have so many times before. But you think it's okay to attack another religion. So very patriotic for the home of the free. I can see why you'd be the best pick for President.

In the interview this morning, Frothy also said, "What makes me throw up is someone who is now trying to tell people that you will do what the government says." Yes let's talk about Obama and how he wants to tell people to provide healthcare for each other. Let's not talk about how you want to tell people what to do with their bodies, what their "place" is in life, what to teach their children, who to love, when to have sex.

You make me want to throw up.
