If you were
worried there wouldn’t be a 2012 candidate touting the pro-Crusades platform,
then today is your lucky day!
“The idea
that the Crusades and the fight of Christendom against Islam is somehow an
aggression on our part is absolutely anti-historical,” former Sen. Rick
Santorum (R-PA) told a South Carolina audience yesterday. “And that is what the
perception is by the American left who hates Christendom.”…
Referring to
the “American left,” Santorum observed: “They hate Western civilization at the
core. That’s the problem.” Santorum also suggested that American involvement in
the Middle East is part of our “core American values.”
“What I’m
talking about is onward American soldiers,” Santorum continued. “What we’re
talking about are core American values. ‘All men are created equal’ — that’s a
Christian value, but it’s an American value.”
