Rick Santorum's National Rorschach Test















I missed a day. Of all the days to miss, this wasn't it.

Rick Santorum is coming under fire for using clearly religious language to discuss his domestic and foreign policies. His words very easily give way to one of two interpretations, one benign and healthy for the country, the other spelling doom at the hands of someone determined to bring about a theocracy and question the president's faith.

It's a Rorschach Test. I love Rorschach Tests...oh, how I love Rorschach Tests. Everyone's answer reveals the way they truly think, and it's rarely flattering.

Santorum spoke of Satan. Oh my god,
The world has found its savior, or its end,
And all will all their energy expend
In finding which it is. I would applaud
A voice that simply, frankly, didn’t care,
Or didn’t care that others were offended.
Alas, it isn’t so. “The Left intended
To destroy the man, caught unaware
In saying something honest,” is the line
That’s given me by radio and Right.
“He thinks he is the savior and the Light,
And thinks Barack Obama will assign
The world to evil,” says the Left. Absurd.
The man, I’m sure, but poorly chose a word.
