Rick Santorum, Theocrat

Okay, I know that the Republican Party is basically committed to a more-or-less theocratic ideology in many ways, but at least some of them have the sense to be subtle about it most of the time. Not Rick Santorum:
 “One of the things I will talk about, that no president has talked about before, is I think the dangers of contraception in this country. ... Many of the Christian faith have said, well, that’s okay, contraception is okay. It’s not okay. It’s a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be.”
Also he apparently said something about how great the Crusades were, and how American wars in the Middle East were a continuation of the great work of those Crusades, and "onward American soldiers." Seriously. The man's a theocrat, plain and simple. At least he's honest about it, if that's a good thing.
