Senator Santorum in Luverne, Minnesota

Senator Rick Santorum made a quick stop at the Palace Theater, next to the Pizza Ranch in beautiful downtown Luverne, Minnesota, on Monday 30 January 2012.  Luverne, Minnesota, you say?  Why, yes, Luverne, Minnesota:

He talked about his faith and his family, about the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.  He talked about our God-given rights—if government gives you rights, they can surely take them away.  He talked about what it means to be an American.

Mostly he talked about families as the foundation of our nation.

And he talked about how problems in families lead to problems in our economy and the rest of society.  The home is the first economy.

I did a quick check on the prison statistic at the end of the last clip.  Wiki says 2.3 million, plus twice that on probation or parole.  That is a sad state of affairs.

Senator Santorum wrapped up his remarks with a call to action:

“This is the greatest country in the world.  Go out in this caucus and gather people who believe this.”

It was a good crowd, a good turnout for a winter’s evening in Southwest Minnesota.  The Question & Answer period touched on Mitt Romney’s attacks on Newt Gingrich and visa-versa (which he deflected, mostly), the spiraling cost of higher education (Intellectual elitist left-wing indoctrination, he replied), 2nd Amendment (A+ NRA), health care & Obamacare (it’s a phony economy, consumers have to be involved in their own health care), and wasteful government spending (he’s running his campaign debt free).

I don’t know how many folks will turn out to caucus for the Senator next week in Minnesota.  Hopefully the people who make his sweater vests in Minnesota, do.  I know alot of liberals don’t like his principles and I’m good with that.  I don’t like some of his Pennsylvania positions; I haven’t made up my mind yet on which Non-Romney to support.  It was nice to see this Rick is just as nice in person as at the debates on TV.  There’s something to be said for that.
