“…is it even remotely true that - as Santorum claims - both Obama and the hated/satanic blue half of America elevate the Earth above people? Wrong. We elevate our great-grandchildren… and their great-grandchildren… above both short-term ripoff artists and dopes who pray for Armageddon. Tens and hundreds of billions of people… future people… our descendants. We want to save a viable planet — and a viable, vibrantly creative economy and a vigorously scientific civilization — for them. When you strip away all the dross and distractions — like the insipid notion that any of this involves old-fashioned “left-vs-right — and when you also strip away all the self-hypnosis incantations like “muslim” and “socialism” — what is left? What’s the essential. core matter before us? The divide is not left/right… it is forward vs backward…”
