Santorum Doesn"t Want To Impose His Values

You have heard Rick Santorum say it many times on TV.
Santorum says to look at his record.
He doesn't want to impose his values on anyone.
Is this true? What does his record say? Santorum was on Meet the Press this weekend when again he reiterated that he doesn't want to impose his values on anyone.
"Look at my record.
I've never wanted to impose any of the things that you've just talked about.
These are my personal held religious beliefs.
" Santorum said.
"There's no evidence at all that I want to impose those values on anybody else.
" No evidence at all.
Let's take a look at something that came up in the most recent GOP debate.
At that debate, Rick Santorum was blasted by Mitt Romney for supporting No Child Left Behind.
In that debate, Santorum said that he "took one for the team" when he voted for No Child Left Behind.
Did Santorum really vote against his principles and take one for team Bush? No he did not.
In fact, Santorum wanted even more government intrusion in the way schools teach across the nation.
As part of No Child Left Behind, Rick Santorum authored a proposed amendment, which became known as the Santorum Amendment.
The Santorum Amendment was designed to do one thing and one thing only, to promote the teaching of Intelligent Design in science classrooms across the nation.
Santorum worked carefully with Phillip E.
Johnson, who helped him draft the language in the amendment.
Johnson is considered by many to be the father of the intelligent design movement, which began immediately after the Supreme Court ruled that a Louisiana law requiring the teaching of 'creation science' along side evolution was unconstitutional.
After that ruling, proponents of teaching creationism in science classes needed a new term.
That term became Intelligent Design, or as I like to call it, Creationism 2.
0.
Make no mistake about it.
Santorum not only supported No Child Left Behind, he wanted it to go further.
Santorum wanted to impose his values on everyone that goes to public schools by promoting the teaching of Intelligent Design, which is nothing more than religious doctrine that says that life was created by God.
It would be one thing if Santorum wanted this to be allowed in an elective class.
No, Santorum wanted this to be taught alongside evolution.
Why? Because Rick Santorum wants to impose his values on everyone in America.
So that no evidence at all statement from Rick Santorum is a pure, unadulterated lie.
The Santorum Amendment is only one example of Santorum wanting to impose his values on the people through the power of government.
Don't be fooled by what he is saying today.
Rick Santorum has in the past and will in the future try to impose his values on everyone that he can.
