Former Sen. Rick Santorum<\/a>, R-Penn., has always yearned for a better time, a simpler time, a time when men were men and women shut the hell up and listened to their superiors. But still, it\u2019s always kind of surprising when he comes right out and says it<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The other thing we have to do is we have to stand up and say, look, America \u2014 Conservatives believe in the stewardship of patrimony. In other words, there are things in America that are really good, that work, have worked for 200 years. And we have a guy named Barack Obama who\u2019s trying to fundamentally rewrite everything, change our economy, change our social structure, change our economy to something new.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, \u201cpatrimony,\u201d which Merriam-Webster defines<\/a> as \u201canything derived from one\u2019s father or ancestors\u201d (But you knew that from the patr-<\/em> root sitting right there at the start of the word).<\/p>\n

A world where wisdom, property, and authority is handed from fathers to sons. A world that many women and men of good conscience have fought very hard to eliminate and transcend. A world like that which exists in Saudi Arabia, with only some issues of doctrine interfering in its perfection.<\/p>\n

In short, Santorum is a pretty mainstream Republican.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
