Rick Santorum
Rick Santorum,
what can I say for this useless, walking, talking, waste of human flesh? I know
what I would like to say. But! Not here, and most certainly not now. The presidential
candidate decided he would announce to the world that he believes a baby
produced by rape is a gift from his god. I would like to just say that it has
taken me three days to figure out how to tackle this essay without coming off
as a pompous prick. There is really no way around it, and honestly I need to
embrace my apparent true nature as such. I do not think this may be much of a persuasive
essay to most of you who are Republican or Christian or perhaps sadly, both. I
want to give you my thoughts on why this man’s statement is so ineptly ignorant
and one sidedness fits into almost every
fallacy definition. If I were president, after Santorum made this statement, I would
have personally ordered him deported to Iran.
In an interview
with Piers Morgan on CNN on January 20, 2012, Rick Santorum was asked how he
could take such a callous position on rape or incest victims by essentially
forcing these women by law to give birth to these babies. Rick Santorum said, "I
believe and I think that the right approach is to accept this horribly created,
in the sense of rape, but nevertheless, in a very broken way, a gift of human
life, and accept what God is giving to you." What exactly, are we as a
nation, supposed to say to that? He goes on to say that this issue is, "not
a matter of religious values". Just in case you missed the last line of
the last quote… here it is again. It said, “accept what God is giving to
you." So in our fallacy definition, this idiot committed, “either or
reasoning”. He is trying to force his opinion of abortion down our throats by
way of his Roman Catholic belief system. Because of his religious affiliation,
he feels as a nation should have to follow that belief. Even though he is
pro-death penalty, he is also anti-abortion. Is being an oxymoron a fallacy? Rick
Santorum is also “slanting” fallacy, by constantly suppressing the fact that he
is pro-death penalty. When the subject comes up of abortion, he relies on all
life is precious… unless you are in prison and found guilty by a jury of your
peers.
This brings us to
yet another fallacy, “over reliance on authority”. Over reliance of authority
is used a lot on this Earth. Not only by politicians but by religious leaders
and their minions, but also Rick Santorum likes to use the fact that all life
is precious and uses his misguided religion to bring it home that his beliefs
are correct. Rick Santorum likes to play the “all life is precious” card a lot.
But he fails to mention that his god is one of the worst tyrants that
supposedly exists on this Earth. If we should base our belief as a nation on
the issue of abortion on the Holy Bible, the supposed written word of YHWH
(God), then the flood story is proof that God is pro-choice. God aborted every
living thing on this Earth because a few thousand humans were being disobedient
in his eyes. Is this not a fallacy of “slippery slope”? Did God not commit
murder in Rick Santorum’s eyes? Did God commit another fallacy in the flood
story, “stereo typing”? God just automatically wipes the Earth clean of 99.9%
of animal life including hominids just because of a few bad apples by his
innate command. The Abrahamic God’s myth essentially creates us sick and
commands us to be well. So if we do wrong, by the beliefs of many Christian
fundamentalists, God aborts life all the time. So, how precious is life to this
god really?
In the matters of
abortion, all matters should lie in the health of the decision making woman.
Not some sadistic ignorant politician with a theistic agenda. I think that if
Rick Santorum wants to push his twisted ideals on to people with his ancient
archaic belief system, he should move somewhere that embraces such fallacies,
Iran.
If this man is
elected president of these United States of America, I will not be ‘guilty by
association” for being a United States citizen. I refuse to live under someone
who relies on “over-reliance on authority” by “slanting” his real feelings
because he feels his theology is “either or reasoning”. His theology affects
his policies by way of “stereo typing” us as if we are all Roman Catholics. His
head is somewhere other than in its natural evolutionary position due to his theistic
ideology is constantly “begging the question”.
And now a word
from this man’s lovely, holy, infallible, omniscient, and omnipotent, morally
righteous book a gift to all of mankind… God’s spoken word passed to man. The
Holy Bible.
"Happy shall he be who takes
your little ones and dashes them against
the rock!" (Psalms 137:9)
"The people of Samaria must bear their
guilt, because they have rebelled
against their God. They will fall
by the sword; their little ones will be
dashed to the ground, their
pregnant women ripped open." (Hosea 13:16)
"Every one that is found shall
be thrust through; and every one that is
joined unto them shall fall by the
sword.
Their children also shall be dashed
to pieces before their eyes; their
houses shall be spoiled, and their
wives ravished." (Isaiah 13:15,16)
"Their bows also shall dash
the young men to pieces; and they
shall have no pity on the fruit of
the womb; their eye shall not spare
children." (Isaiah 13:18)
