A question to all of us is how much are we willing to fight to maintain this great country, I always find it remarkable that the men and women who are serving in the armed services, who are out there sacrificing tonight, and God bless them.
They volunteer, they step forward in a time of war. They step forward. We have a culture right now that doesn't say serve, it doesn't say don't think about yourself. It says me, me, me. It's a very self absorbed, me centered excessive popular culture. And yet we have brave men and women who are willing to step forward because they know what's at stake. They're willing to sacrifice their lives, for this great country.
What I'm asking all of you tonight is not to put on a uniform. Put on a bumper sticker. Is it that much to ask? Is it that much to ask to step up and serve your country?" To fight for what we believe in. To fight for the values that made this country the greatest country.
So, while Santorum is disturbed by the modern popular culture that doesn't promote service, he certainly doesn't want republicans to have to perform any of that service.
Even worse, the bumper sticker Santorum was referring to was a Rick Santorum for Senate bumper sticker, not a support the troops bumper sticker. So while he was bemoaning the "me centered excessive popular culture," the sacrifice Santorum was looking for was for the benefit of him.
Typical. I can't wait for this dick to get his ass handed to him in November.

The outcome of the war itself isn't the risk. But, we end up losing "America," because the war is used to justify tyrany.
Even the name of this war, "The War on Terror," is miss named if you mean the fighting in Afganistan and Iraq, because we are fighting terrorism, as terroism is the cheapest war you can throw. It is aptly named if you mean we are fighting American citizens, as terror is state sponsored actions against its own citizenry. We sponsored and spread terror thoughout South Ameria and Central America by right-wing dictatorships. The Argentine disappearances was terror.
Wars are always fought for domestic purposes.
