Have any of the Republican candidates for the presidency, most notably Rick Santorum, learned the history of the United States, particularly the reasons this country came into being?
The settlers who formed this country came from England to allow themselves freedom of religion, to believe as they chose and to practice as they chose rather than have the government dictate their beliefs and practices.
This group of Republican candidates seems to have determined that this is and will be a Christian society and should be governed by the tenets of their particular brand of Christianity.
Welcome to the real world, candidates. Not everyone in this country is Christian. No one is prohibiting you from your beliefs and practices, but there is no reason for non-Christians to be bound by your tenets. You can believe in whatever you choose; the rest of us have the same right.
Let freedom ring!
