In response to a question about the candidates' message to Latino voters in last night's debate on CNN, former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) managed to work in the idea that religious freedom is under attack in our nation's government.
There's a lot going on right now that's eroding our religious freedom, that's eroding the traditional values of marriage and family. And there's one candidate up here who consistently sounds that theme.
Look, I'm for jobs, too. I have got an economic plan, and I agree with everything that's been said. But we keep running roughshod over the fact that family in America and faith in America is being crushed by the courts and our government, and someone has stand up and fight for those institutions.
He offered no specifics. What do you think he was referring to? At a time of unprecedented religious diversity and robust enforcement of free exercise protections, how is faith in America being crushed by the courts and our government? It's a shame nobody asked him a follow-up.
