Topic: Rick Santorum

The hosts discuss the audience booing Ron Paul during debates when he mentioned the Golden Rule, citing it as evidence of a "warlike philosophy" invading modern theology. Rick Santorum is criticized as a pragmatist lacking principle for his support of arming groups in Syria while claiming to be pro-life. Ward defines Christian love as "doing justice," which she argues is incompatible with cluster bombing and foreign intervention.

Jack Blood makes claims about Rick Santorum’s family ties to fascism and his membership in Opus Dei, labeling him a collectivist. The discussion moves to the abortion debate, where Ward argues that the issue should be handled at the state level by stripping federal court jurisdiction. She critiques Santorum for wanting to keep the issue federal, which she views as a misunderstanding of the decentralization valued during the American War of Independence.
