[Vision2020] Here We Go Again

Of all the ills in the world that a faithful Christian leader could address, it was Obama's weak and incomplete attempt to assure medical coverage for millions of uninsured people that "put the fire in her belly"?

Really?

Was the devout Mrs. Santorum's belly simply neutral or stone-cold dead in the water when we invaded Iraq and killed many thousands of Iraqis and lost 4,000 of our soldiers -- and did so in the name of Jesus?  Did she squirm at all when hundreds of thousands of children in Africa died in the last decade from starvation -- in the continent her Savior walked?  Did she allow herself a wince or a grimace when the nation just south of us erupted in violence largely due to our country's misguided War on Drugs?  Anything there, Karen?  How about when Catholics and Protestants use the Bible to subjugate women all throughout the world, and do so while insisting that that subjugation is an intrinsic part of the Gospel?  Does the crude, violent carving out of a young girl's clitoris in parts of Africa and the Middle East -- ensuring that she remains sexually neutral and in subjection to her husband -- even flit onto her radar?  Is that not a moral issue, or does it not register because the girls aren't, at least, rendered infertile by the mutilation?  Finally, is the United State's moral rot evidenced not in the crudeness of our culture or the violence on our streets or the moral blindness of our budgets or in the contempt showered on the poor, but by Obamacare?

Clearly, Mrs. Santorum and I live in very, very different worlds indeed.

Washington PostKaren Santorum: husband’s presidential run is ‘God’s will’
														By  Sandhya Somashekhar
													
													
													
														Rick Santorum’s wife granted a rare interview Thursday,
  telling conservative talk show host Glenn Beck that she initially had 
been  against her husband running for president but finally concluded it
 was “God’s  will.”

Speaking in deeply spiritual terms, Karen Santorum said  she had been
 reluctant to throw her support behind the idea because her husband’s 
failed 2006 Senate re-election campaign had been so brutal. Also, she  
said, her husband had become more involved with the family after leaving
 the Senate, and was even coaching Little League.
 But she said she prayed on the matter, and finally  changed her mind after the passage of the 2010 health care overhaul.
 “I did always feel in my heart that God had big plans for Rick. 
Eventually it was there, tugging at my heart,” she said. “When Obamacare
 passed, that was it. That put the fire in my belly.”
 Karen Santorum has been largely behind the scenes during  the 
campaign, busy in part taking care of the couple’s youngest child, 
Bella,  who suffers from a terminal disorder. 
 She has been speaking out more lately, a shift that has  coincided 
with growing concerns on the part of the Republican's supporters that  
his comments critical of contraception and some prenatal testing could 
harm his standing among women.
 She turned up on Beck’s Internet television show toward  the end of a
 more extensive interview that began with Rick Santorum saying that his 
wife loves the talk-show host – “loves you more than me sometimes,” he  
joked.
 Karen Santorum also defended her husband’s performance in  
Wednesday's debate, saying that he was right to admit to having made 
mistakes while in Congress. She said it is inevitable to sometimes lose 
one’s way in Washington. “You really have to keep your prayer life in 
order,” she said, “and really  keep faith and family the top priority 
always. And keep your feet on the ground. Because you can get lost.”
