On the Square Today

Peter J. Leithart on  Rick Santorum and secular natural law :

Rick Santorum recently criticized Obama’s worldview as a “phony theology not based on the Bible.” A few days ago, the  Drudge Report  resurrected a 2008 speech in which Santorum warned that Satan has it in for the U.S. Santorum’s blatantly religious comments have already made him an object of ridicule and will doubtless cost him support. My cynicism meter goes as wild as anyone’s when politicians talk like this. Still, I find it invigorating.
