GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum walked away from a reporter Thursday asking about past comments on the Catholic priest sex abuse scandal. (Image source: WBZ-TV)
Rick Santorum, riding his razor-thin loss to Mitt Romney in Iowa, nevertheless has experienced a somewhat different reception in New Hampshire ahead of the state’s first-in-the-nation primary Tuesday.
After getting booed during a town hall Thursday for his answer to a gay marriage question, Santorum later walked out on a reporter asking him about past comments he’s made regarding the Catholic Church sex abuse scandal.
Boston CBS affiliate WBZ-TV:
[W]e wondered: What would New Hampshire think of Santorum’s decade-old claim that Boston-style liberalism, “lies at the center of the Catholic priest sex-abuse scandal?”
“I’ve already answered this question a hundred times,” said Santorum. “Come on, what games are you guys playing? I’ve answered that question a hundred times.”
And sure enough, he has recently reaffirmed that position, without explaining how the 14 priests from the Manchester, New Hampshire diocese accused of abuse were also infected with that alleged liberal poison.
In his original comments, Santorum argued that priests are not immune to popular culture, that seminaries had been contaminated by cultural permissiveness, and that, “when the culture is sick, every element in it becomes infected.”
Watch the exchange below, via WBZ-TV:
On Friday, a group of protesters were escorted out of a Santorum campaign stop after they disrupted the proceedings. According to the Washington Post, the demonstrators appeared to be a combination of gay rights activists, Ron Paul supporters and Occupy Wall Street protesters.

Posted on January 7, 2012 at 9:26amPlaybook for ANYONE that wants to win:
1. STAY AWAY from ANYTHING RELIGIOUS, GAY, OR ANYTHING ABORTION/RELIGION.
The sad facts are the “man/woman on the street” doesn’t care/listen to/can’t understand it.
2. Come up with TOTAL ANSWERS to the above, and say “asked and answered” to any “follow up” questions, designed by the libs to distract, deflect, paint as “bad”
I have some suggestions….
RELIGION: I worship in my own way. Others can do what they want. I believe in God. Others can believe what they want.” (End of story).
ABORTION: I am against it personally.. Others can do what they want. (BUT, here’s the kicker). If they do want an abortion….DON’T ASK/MANDATE ME (THE FEDS/STATE) TO PAY FOR IT.
GAY RIGHTS: Gee….I thought everyone in this country has rights. Tell you what, let’s truly make the playing field level. No matter what each marriage is in this country (man and woman/man and man/woman and woman) NO breaks/tax wise or otherwise, for anyone! To me, that is discriminatory to single people. Gee…I thought we were ALL equal……

Posted on January 7, 2012 at 9:45amSo just run from any questions that actually matter. The left are using those questions to destroy the nation.
The single best way to get out of poverty in this nation, is to settle down, get married, and have a kid or 2. Not because of the tax breaks, but because that forces you to grow up and put other needs above your childish on selfish needs. Those before us knew these facts, and is why they implemented marriage and the tax breaks the way they did. The liberals know these facts, hate the middle class, and think nobody but them should have success, so they want to change them. Sitting down taking it, or lying about it isn’t a way to get better, it’s a way to loose.

Posted on January 7, 2012 at 11:07amOnly thing on abortion that someone on the federal level should say is it should be decided by the states not the feds. Lets face it the other side are morons and cant understand that. Just like when Santorum said birth control should be decided by the states they say he wants to take away your birth control, but in truth he wants to give more government control back to the local levels. Meaning you would gain more control of the government giving you more power to have a government that more closely reflect what you think it should be. Libs understand this…. well maybe. Weed is banned by the feds meaning even if you state legalizes it the feds can still come arrest you for selling it and maybe even possessing it. They would be for the feds canceling that law so it could go back to the states and then they could work to change the law in their local areas. But they are not for the feds canceling the law making all 50 states allow abortion, and this is why liberalism is a non-logical set of policies. The government does not have the right to ban weed but they can ban trans-fat, the government needs to stay out of my bedroom but they have all rights to my children. They want freedom and they also want the government to control everything, they are stupid and you need not to try to understand them for you can not understand the insane and illogical.

Why would He save us from bad politicians, with evil intentions, when we cry such sadness over the tragic loss of life on 9/11, and not in the same way against the murder of babies in the womb?
Sure there are some of us who feel terrible sadness over abortion, and do something about it, like praying, and standing, and fighting against Planned Parenthood, and other abortion mills. But, there are a lot more who do nothing.
This devaluation of the gift of life, God’s true giftt, reulting in abortion, is Satan at his ugly best. It is a key issue why evil has grown on this earth. It is the demise of mankind. Evil begets evil.
Pray, right there where you are now, and tomorrow, and the next day, that abortion will be defeated, and a path of reconciliation between hearts of the world, and God would be laid.
One prayer from the heart can bring victory of righteousness over evil.

Abortion is wrong. More and more Americans are seeing that (thanks to Sonograms etc) and the fact that some people expect others to pay for their abortions is ridiculous. NO $ TO PLANNED PARENTHOOD; NO TAX MONEY FOR ABORTIONS. Having said that: Abortion as an issue needs to be decided on state by state basis and while we know (most of us) that it’s morally wrong and tearing this country apart, it is still the law. Anti-Abortion workers need to work to get law changed, to strip the financial backing from it. As far as Priests : less than 1% OF ALL THE CATHOLIC PRIESTS world-wide have ever been involved..it’s sick, but it’s not limited to Catholic Priest (can you say PENN STATE?) … it’s a problem for our society to deal with – the abuse of children and hopefully we can get this ego-maniac and his manipulating wife out of the WH and a moral man in …America will turn around.

If you want to go the route of abortions being murder I would start there and make the law that they are using against that lady cover the abortion doctors too. 100,000,000 babies killed….. nah thats not an issue is it lets just stay away from that. Gay marriage…. it’s funny people seem to be okay to accept someone who accepts a sin… well that sin. Yes, they were born with the sin nature to be sexually attracted to members of their own sex, yup yup. I was born with the sin nature to be a drunk but why did no one accept me. “I am a drunk American… barf” you hateful bastards, tell me I cant come to work drunk. I was also born a liar (well no not really thats a lie) “I am a lying American” you a-holes won’t let me lie in court but you let others tell the truth, it’s the same thing we were both doing what comes naturally to us. Why do gays want to get married…. because they need to be accepted for in their hearts they know they are living wrong. If the world accepted me as a drunk I would still be a drunk, it was uncomfortable to be a drunk in spirit and in this world, so I am no longer a drunk.

Posted on January 7, 2012 at 12:51pmJzs…. The claim is correct. It’s a huge and complex thing I will try my best to explain enough. Liberalism is about freedom from morals, if it feels good do it. In one generation we went from Full House to Desperate Housewives. Liberals want to teach kindergartners about sex because they will try it on their own anyways, but the reason they will try it on their own is because they know about it, and they know about it because of liberals. Why do they teach kids how to masturbate at such a young age… Let me ask you this if you went to a park found a random kid pulled out a banana and began rubbing it explaining to the kid that if he did this to himself it would feel good would it be safe to assume your a pervert, but yet you don’t find the people that want to do this to all children incorrect in what they want to do at all. The reason to fill kids heads with sex is because you believe kids are sexual. MTV had a new show coming out that it’s title intro was deemed child porn….. That’s what Santorum was talking about was the moral failings of our society causing moral failings in the people of the society, cats out of the bag now and conservatives cant put it back in but liberals let it out. Yes sadly I agree most pedos are socially conservative, but in being so they are not. See you can be a pedo on the left and still be on the left cause to them it’s okay. Roman Polanski is who I point too. Our side you have sex with a kid and we want the death penalty. So yeah….

1. STAY AWAY from ANYTHING RELIGIOUS, GAY, OR ANYTHING ABORTION/RELIGION.

I would submit that #1 makes #2 unnecessary. As to your three suggestions, it is my understanding that Sen. Santorum has already stated that his opinions match yours on #1 and #2. As to #3, you say (in part), “No matter what each marriage is in this country (man and woman/man and man/woman and woman) ….” You are defining a marriage as a two person proposition. If the State does not have the right to define a marriage, it DOES NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO DEFINE IT AS A TWO-PERSON RELATIONSHIP. This obviously opens the door to multiple-partner arrangements. If the State DOES have the right to define marriage as between two people, then it has the right to define it as being between a man and a woman. Should “gay” couples be allowed certain basic legal rights, such as hospital visitation, next-of-kin rights, rights of survivorship and the like? Absolutely. Should it be defined as a marriage? Absolutely not. is And that’s not just semantics; words have MEANING. For example, if I say the word “Aushwitz” what comes t

Rick knew he was going to lose the whole time. It wasn‘t as if he didn’t want to win. But, he didn’t want to “sell out” either.
Rick’s views at the exact moment of the election were so incredibly unpopular in pennsylvania, especially in the more liberal areas, like Philly, which is a HUGE area, I lived there. Go Phillies! But, he had carried enough of the State times before, even some suburban areas of Philly. It was Rick’s PRINCIPLES, and that what he stood for at the time were SO unpopular, that he lost. And now all people can say about it is that he’s a “loser.”
I tend to look at it that he stuck to his character instead of just “wanting to win.”
You people may not like what Rick believes, say, about Iran, but he’s been saying it for a decade!
Your “how to win” leaves out the true principles and character of a person.

Posted on January 7, 2012 at 1:50pm@Freedompurveyor I agree you can not use the government to impose morals on people, but we also must get the feds out of making these laws for the entire nation. Santorums ban on same sex marriage federally is wrong. It all should go to the states to decide so the people have more power in deciding it. The problem with liberalism is it not being able to be applied across the board, and with Santorum wanting to have the same sex ban, we can no longer say that abortions should be decided by the states….. It is not the governments job to direct behavior, but a society can not be free without morals. We have lost our morals, we can not be free for if we are free we would destroy ourselves. We also do not wish to be less free because of others failings, Santorum should be consistent and return it all to the states and let the people decide locally, some places will give freedom from morals, while other places will take freedom to give morals. Out of those two I would choose freedom because I still have my morals… well I found them once more. Pushing morals through laws is what they do in fundamentalist Muslim countries and in the end it gives you a place with neither freedom or morals. Simply put the government can do nothing for us it has to be us doing it for ourselves, what government can do is leave us alone for the most part and give us as much control for the other part. Return it all to the states lets us decide for ourselves.

I wonder if people living in threesomes want to be accepted in the same way, or maybe animal lovers, people who like kids? Well two of those we are okay to speak against because of innocents and control but what of the threesome marriage. The real question is why do you feel the need to have it called marriage, when a visit to a lawyer could give you almost all the same legal rights.

Posted on January 7, 2012 at 3:16pmChristhefarmer, your statement that, ” Liberalism is about freedom from morals, if it feels good do it” is the most fantastically bizarre statement I may have ever read. Maybe you’re thinking about “hedonism” or something, but not liberalism.
JFK defined a liberal as, “…someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people — their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties — someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad…”
I can’t even begin to address you comments when you start with premises that are so utterly ludicrous.
But I will say this. Supposing you are heterosexual, are your conservative morals is the only thing that prevents you from wanting to have sex with young children? The answer that is “no” I take it. So I wonder how you can assume the same about others.
In any case, you cling to the idea that liberalism causes Priest to become pedophiles. Go for it. And while your at it blame ‘em for whatever else you want.

Posted on January 7, 2012 at 10:02pmI see your point, but I think you are a bit confused about the issue of gay marriage (as the Liberals have used a Red Herring argument, as usual).
There is nothing that a heterossexual couple is legally allowed to do that a same-sex couple is not allowed to do. The difference is in regard to incentives that the government uses because the institution of marriage (the one that has naturally existed for all of human history–not the new social experiment) is important for a culture to exist. The constitution says that our government will do things to insure domestic tranquility, promote the general welfare, and to secure the blessings we have for ourselves and posterity.
It does not say that it exists to treat everyone equally. It can not. Our government treats someone under 14 years old differently than it treats an 18 year old in many ways. It treats business owners differently in the tax code than it does non-business owners. It treats homeowners differently as well. This is because there are certain things that we agree are good for society. Things like a man and a woman raising children together in a stable home.
The question is not weather we should stop hurting same-sex couples by not allowing them have rights (that isn’t happening), it is whether we are going to force those who believe in a Judeo-Christian morality to reject their faith in these matters. The only people whose rights are being trampled are those who want people to “keep it in the be

But one thing I agree with is that the world is changing, and it’s changing quickly, and yes, TV (which I don’t watch to be honest) and the internet are part of that. Some people and some countries would like to prevent that instantaneous transmission of ideas and opinions from one side of the world to another. North Korea‘s don’t have access to the internet (or even cell phones for that matter). Iran evidently is preventing worldwide access.
I appreciate your opinion, but TV and the internet aren’t “promoting” ideas, they are reflecting and expressing ideas, and giving the world access to new ideas, ideas that you may agree with or despise. Regardless, the world is changing for better or worse. And you can’t stop it. Nobody can stop it. The world is changing, and all any of us can do is make the best of it. You seem to want to stop the world from changing. Sorry, you can’t.

The fact is, Rick Santorum does have a long history of supporting gun control.
In the 90s, he voted to support the Lautenberg Gun Ban, which stripped law-abiding gun owners of their Second Amendment rights for life, simply because they spanked their children.
He voted for a bill in 1999 disguised as an attempt to increase penalties on drug traffickers with guns… but it also included a provision to require federal background checks at gun shows.
And then he voted with gun-controlling Democrats Dianne Fienstein and Frank Lautenberg to mandate locks on handguns in 2005.
He also supported and openly campaigned for anti-gun New Jersey governor, Christine Todd Whitman.

Posted on January 8, 2012 at 12:37pmFailure of a career politician named Ron Paul
Paul, who has served 11 terms in three different stages dating back to 1976, didn’t get a single law passed until 2009, when he authored a bill that allowed for the sale of a customs house in Galveston, Texas. Failure is often the norm in Congress, where only 4 percent of proposed bills get a President’s signature, but Paul’s approach to lawmaking is particularly suited to not getting things done.
Of the 620 bills sponsored by Ron Paul during his long career in the House of Representatives, only four have ever made it to a vote on the House floor and only one of those became an actual law. An analysis by The Washington Post shows that Paul’s success rate of 0.2 percent falls far below that of most legislators, as Paul has chosen to stand up for his personal crusades, rather that build coalitions for more popular, but less ambitious, proposals.

Posted on January 7, 2012 at 11:45amAnytime you get a group of people who rally together and organize into a powerful group, there is a concerted effort to tear them down, especially if they are rallying around a good message. Every single act by any one member of that group is now used to define the entire group. Does this sound familiar to anyone? The left and the media did this to the Tea Party, now the Republican establishment is doing it to “Ron Paul supporters”. Do you know why we don’t hear about rabid Rick Santorum supporters or Mitt Romney supporters? It‘s because these guys have fickle support and don’t have a die-hard base who believes in them. How can that possibly speak badly for Congressman Paul? His sin is that he has an enthusiastic group of supporters and of course the talk radio establishment of Beck, Rush, Sean and Levin constantly attack or ridicule anyone supporting him. The lesson here should be that if you believe in something and are willing to fight for it on principle, people will come around to your side and get behind you.
As far as OWS, Peter Schiff is a Ron Paul supporter. He went down to OWS to try to debate with these people. I heard others call into his show who were also Paul supporters who talked about going down to Zucotti Park to get the message out that it’s the Federal Reserve, the Federal Government, AND Wall Street working hand in hand against us, that they should be protesting the Fed and Washington DC.

With Ron Paul in the running and those that support him it will again be a lose-lose situation for America and an Obama 2nd term in the making. Ron Paul needs to back one of the other Republicans who are electable and stop with the games. Ron Paul was and is nothing more than a Libertarian smear machine not worthy of true consideration within the Republican Party and our nomination process.
Sarah Palin admonished Republicans and told us not to ridicule poor Ron Paul because she thinks he holds the keys to the Kingdom. To this I say BS. Ron paul is a disloyal phoney AND fraud. And Ron Paul’s supporters are just as disloyal based on what we see them write, say and do.
Remember… many Paul supporters actually voted for Obama in 2008 due to his anti-war, anti-Military and foreign policy proclamations.
Ron Paul has earned whatever contempt we real Republicans and Conservatives have for him. Ron Paul has shunned the party in the past, as he was the Libertarian Party candidate in 1988 and in 2008 he rejected the McCain/Palin ticket, instead embracing Cynthia McKinney and other third-party candidates for president 2008.
Like a kid who is losing a game, Ron Paul took his ball and went home in 2008.
While many people assume he endorsed Bob Barr, the Libertarian candidate, he also endorsed Cynthia McKinney and the Constitution Party candidate in a vote-for-one-of-them proclamation.

Posted on January 7, 2012 at 1:06pm@RECOVERING. Paul‘s local projects illustrated a central irony of Ron Paul’s career. Even though he is spun as the Cassandra of governmental overreach by you and others, he has enabled a deepening dependence on the federal government at home in pork central. Paul has always cauterized his anti-government views with old-fashioned cronyism. Knowing that most appropriations bills will pass despite his nay vote, he often loaded them with earmarks. In this way, he has managed to please both small-government conservatives and pork-loving constituents in his district.
As they say RECOVERING, all politics are local with the 100% Constitutional Ron Paul. Not MY opinion, but fact. Once you are able to understand this simple fact RECOVERING, you can then move on to Paul being close… but a no cigar guy when it comes to the Constitution and his strict adherence to it.

Posted on January 8, 2012 at 12:47am@Dissent, you got it right. The Clerical Celibacy law the Catholic Church lives under is the root cause for the thousands and thousands of sex abuse cases.
According to St. Paul, priests are supposed to be held to a higher standard than the normal population, but even the normal population doesn’t abuse as many people as these “celibate” men of God.
For years (as in for hundreds if not thousands of years) the Church has turned a blind eye to buggery, considering it less of a crime than sleeping with an actual woman.
And you know the worst bit? The Bible recommends (if not commands) that priests be married, and have kids, so that by looking at their kids, you can see what kind of character they have.
The Catholic church moved away from the Bible, and all these abuse cases are the fruit they bore for their sins.

Posted on January 7, 2012 at 8:47amThere are NO journalists in the msm, only obamaites fed directly from sorocitos,piven,ayers,jones,clintons, etc. who are serving as the mouths of satan himself.
Talk about brain and soul dead.
LORD JESUS, how we pray that you continue to wake up your “kids” all over AMERICA and the world. Keep us focused on YOU, YOUR WILL, YOUR LOVE, YOUR MERCY. In YOUR precious, HOLY and mighty name we pray, amen.

Posted on January 7, 2012 at 8:46amThe progressive getting peppered with questions asked and answered,funny how we didn’t see that happen to Barry back in 08.We won’t see any questioning of the Marxist this time around either.The main reasons I won’t vote for Rick is his unabashed support of the unpatriotic act and the NDAA,also his second amendment position.

Posted on January 7, 2012 at 11:06amBADDOG – Wow, and you support the earmark hypocrisy of Ron FRAUD Paul. That should be fun for you to explain. I know, I know, earmarks are fine for FRAUD Paul because he’s just bring money back to his district – a practice most of us call “vote buying”. Ron FRAUD Paul – what a guy.

Posted on January 8, 2012 at 9:33pmHow is winning funds for the improvement of your constituents’ district a fraud? Isn’t that why REPRESENTATIVES are sent to Congress? To REPRESENT the will/wishes of their constituency? Earmarks are what they call EVERYTHING that funds are appropriated for. Technically speaking. Defense spending is an earmark. So I don’t get how Ron Paul is a fraud, if he’s doing or trying to do what he was sent to Washington D.C. for…. It‘s not Ron Paul’s fault that his colleagues in Washington don’t agree with Ron Paul and his constituents… IF HE SUCKS SO BAD, HOW HAS HE GOTTEN ELECTED AS MANY TIMES AS HE HAS??? Obviously, he has the faith of his constituents. Ya think?

Posted on January 7, 2012 at 8:42amKeep pushing that regultionon on marriage Rick. It will get you killed. Why in the world do we need any regulation on marrigae anyway? Why should the government even be involved?? It should be taken care of by the Church and by the free market system. Government regulations do NOTHING but stir the passions of those who want to hump goats and have gay sex. I say let them if that’s what they want. The only protections we need are on our children. If some ding dong looney toon wants to marry his cat and he can find a Church to do it…so what?
We must get the Government out of our lives and let people live the way they want to with their own personal responsibility. Cut off welfare except to those who are TRULY needy. If some idiot wants to destroy his life with heroin, so bet it. It thins the herd and the strong and responsible survive!

Posted on January 7, 2012 at 9:41amI am an avid Constitutionalist..there will never be such a thing as gay marriage because it will never be recognized by God or any true Christian. I am sure that some of these false preachers would be happy to “marry” a gay couple..but the Constitution will not force any Christian pastor to perform the bogus ceremony and the Constitution will never force Christians to accept it. It is only my duty to tell people what will send them to hell..I am not their dictator. and in the words of Patrick Henry..”Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death

Posted on January 8, 2012 at 12:42am@Bad: Agreed. There is absolutely no excuse for the government to have any intervention in marriage, whatsoever.
I find it outrageous that you have to apply for a marriage license, and that the state has the legal right to say no.
Churches should be the ultimate arbiters of who can be married within them, not governments.

Posted on January 7, 2012 at 9:37amThe sickos by their actions are telling us who they fear the most. The press in the same fashion is telling us who they fear the most. They don’t fear the alternative to Santorum. By buckling to the sickos and the lying press, those that have been brainwashed into thinking only Romney can win are participating in the sickness and the lies, and will make us all pay the price when the general election becomes a sequel to the McCain disaster.

I saw you were still posting to my comments about Santorum’s baby. Man, you have some serious issues with God.Your ravings and hateful rethoric about God does not speak in favor of you being a moderate.
I saw someone gave you scripture about children going to heaven. Here is also one from the Old Testament that speaks perhaps best to the maturity. In the book of Numbers 14:29 it states: “In this desert your bodies will fall everyone of you 20 years and older, who was counted in the census and who has grumbled against me.” That is probably where we get the legal age of 18 to 21 from.
And to children being so easily manipulated, Jesus had the following to say in Matthew 18:6 “But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” This is what the muslims, who teach their children hatred and killing, will face when they stand before God.And any other person that sets out to teach Children that God is not real. Judgement is coming and thank God for that, because He will bring justice.

Here is what Jesus has to say to moderates. In Revelation 3:15 “I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are luke warm neither hot nor cold – I am about to spit you out of my mouth” You better make up your mind that is what this means. A little tip, for your soul it would be better if you decided for Jesus. You said you used to be a christian. A true Christian will always be a Christian. This is what Jesus had to say about that in Matthew 7:13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” In Matthew 7:21-23 Jesus says “Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drove out demons and perform many miracles? Then I will tell them plainly, I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers! So, there are many people who think they are Christians, but in their heart they are not. Unless Jesus is in your heart, you have never been a true Christian and therefore it is easy to walk away. But do not worry everyday gives you a new chance at Salvation.

You do not want to believe in God. It’s funny with people like you. You blame God when something bad happens, but when good happens it is luck or coincidence. How convenient. All the reasons you can come up with for why you do not believe in God are excuses for not wanting to belief.
Evolution, it does not matter that there are some Christians who believe in evolution, they are just confused. Many do not have the courage to stand up for God’s Creation because they belong to the University crowd. Or they just don’t know any better. And I SERIOUSLY DOUBT that you know anything about evolution. That goes for the majority of people who believe this hoax. Yes, hoax! I used to believe it too by the way. Again, our brains are not fully functioning until we know Jesus. If you can handle the truth here is a challenge for you. Read the book Darwin’s Black Box by Michael Behe. The Biochemical Challenge to Evolution. Even Darwin himself said if there are no fossils of actual change happening found his “Theory” is not valid. And by the way it is only a theory, sold as fact. And nobody not even the smartest scientists can say it is otherwise. I have a habit of actually knowing what I am talking about before I give my opinions. And if I do not know something I say so.

It is patently obvious what the religious indoctrination is in their alleged institutions of education. The title of the book “The Marketing of Evil” comes to mind and it thesis is reflected in the denial of truth and the unbridled hate expressed for God’s moral law in NH. Let’s hpoe Screwtape and Wormwood can’t throw a party in November on election night.
