My husband and I attended a Rick Santorum rally yesterday in Steubenville, Ohio. Santorum was on fire! It was a great experience for the both of us. Kevin recorded the speech along with the question and answer session. If the videos get too shaky don't blame me, blame the guest blogger, Kevin. LOL! Overall I think my hubby did a pretty darn good job recording the speech.

Songs of Praise
I have been sick for the past few days so this about all I am able to muster up right now. Somehow by the grace of God I was able to attend a Santorum rally in Steubenville, OH since I was feeling better this morning. I only wish my feeling better could have lasted. Oh well.... Here are a couple worship songs I hope you enjoy.

A Joke, A Bad Joke Maybe? Blah Blah Blah Stop with Your PC Mentality & Get Over It
People are so PC today they are unable to get a joke, even it is a bad joke. It is impossible for the PC crowd to shrug off a bad joke. To the PC overly sensitive idiots: Get the heck over it!! The people who are in a tizzy over this must be self-conscience or something. Progressives are self-hating people so.... An old guy told an old joke. So what. If the feminuts feel offended, oh well. Take a hard look at yourself and think the next time before you sleep with some guy you barely know. Nothing like opening yourself up to PTSDs STDs and other risks. Nah, we're not screwed up with our priorities nowadays..... Liberals are more worried about a bad joke than women having sex and their being the possibility that they will catch all those venereal diseases, AIDS, etc. Get a grip folks. If liberals had even a speck of self-control they wouldn't put themselves in bad positions.
This is the joke: “You know, back in my days, they’d use Bayer aspirin for contraceptives, The gals put it between their knees and it wasn’t that costly.”
It may not have been funny but it sure wasn't something to get outraged over. Unless you've got an agenda. And progressives always do.
The Other McCain says We Forgive You, Foster Friess and points out that the joke that libs have dubbed "controversial" was probably first used by Phyllis Diller. This took place way back when, when women, specifically progressive women, had a sense of humor or could at least not get overly sensitive after hearing a bad joke.
Foster Friess ended up apologizing to the uptight, politically correct, feminuts and the rest of the dummicrats.

The Stark Contrast Between Rick Santorum and Barack Obama
In The Thinking voter's article The Thinking Voter debunks RedState's unfounded accusations that Rick Santorum and Barack Obama are two peas in a pod, that Santorum is a carbon copy of Obama. How delusional can one get? This accusation is absurd.
From The Thinking Voter:
I’ve noticed many folks have been comparing Rick Santorum to Barack Obama and other pro-life Democrats.
Such a comparison is worthy of “the weirdest claim made yet against Rick Santorum” award. They seem to have forgotten that there are no true pro-life Democrats for even Democrat “staunch pro-lifer” Bart (Mark) Stupak had agreed to put his pro-life stance aside in order to provide Obama with the final vote for Obamacare. Those who compare Santorum to Democrats like Obama have also obviously not watched this video in which Senator Santorum fought against federal funding for partial-birth abortion in 1998.
Social issues aside, let us see just how similar Santorum is to Barack Obama and the Democrat Party. We all agree that to beat Obama one must be able to draw a strong contrast between their record and Obama’s. Is Santorum able to do that?
Let’s check it out:
TARP - Government Bailouts
Rick Santorum had opposed TARP right from the start. He didn’t merely pay lip-service in opposition, but railed out against it several months later in ’09 at CPAC.
TARP had received support not only from then-candidate Obama but also by a majority of the GOP establishment including Newt and Mitt. Santorum also opposed Obama’s stimulus, the auto bailout, and the Fannie-Freddie bailout.
Needless to say, Obama is the King of the Bailouts.
Next.
Government Reform – Reducing Spending and Dependency on Government
In the 1990s, when he was only a freshman Senator, Rick Santorum was a leading author on the bill that completely overhauled the country’s welfare system.
Yes, you read that right. As a Congressman, Santorum had started the fight for welfare reform in the House, and once in the Senate he combined forces with his old buddies, actually wrote the bill, and successfully fought the left and ensured its passage. To give credit when credit is due, Newt who was speaker of the House at the time, voted in support of the bill.
Santorum also voted for the Freedom to Farm Act in 1996 that started the process of ending direct farm subsidies. When Congress decided that it couldn’t live up to that promise, it voted to re-establish the subsidies in 2002 with the Farm Security Act, a bill that Santorum rightly opposed. Santorum voted for a balanced budget amendment and a line-item veto in 1995.
Santorum strongly believes in a bottom-up economy and in keeping government out of the private sector in most cases.
Obama obviously strongly opposes all reform to the federal government since, as we all know, he wants us all dependent on government for our health-care and every-day needs. He has successfully vastly increased the number of individuals collecting unemployment, Medicaid, and Food Stamps.
Okay, they clearly differ on role of government. All right, let’s try something else.
Health Care Mandates – Obamacare
Oops! Here’s a video from Rick Santorum in 1994 where he clearly and passionately spoke against government mandating individuals into buying health-care or anything else for that matter. This is a direct quote from Rick Santorum spoken in 1994 when health-care mandates were on the table;
“I think what the role of the federal government is to provide opportunity for everyone to get what they want, to live their dreams and not to dictate what everybody should have.”
Sounds like Obama to you? Not to me. Let’s also remember that in 1994 both Newt and Romney amongst many other Republicans had heavily supported and pushed for health-care mandates.
Still convinced he’s a carbon copy of Obama at least in some way? Let’s continue!

5 Year Old Girl Rescued After Kosovo Avalanche
She is adorable.An avalanche struck this little girl's house and killed everyone else that was in the house - 9 relatives, including her parents. Amazingly, she survived the whole ordeal. She is now recovering in the hospital and is in stable condition.
The first video shows the actual rescue. The second shows the conditions that the rescuers were facing while searching for the girl.
The little girl was found buried under 10 meters of snow (not quite 3 feet) after having been under the snow for about 10 hours. It is miraculous that she survived through all this. It is also so sad because she lost her whole family in the avalanche. I pray that a loving family adopts her or possibly that some relative who didn't live with her takes her into their family and cares for her.

National Review Calls on Newt Gingrich to Drop Out and Endorse Santorum
I found out this bit of news from The American Catholic. Like them, this surprised me since I had noticed a bunch of Pro-Romney pieces over at the National Review. Today the National Review has taken a bold move and requested that Gingrich drop out of the race and endorse Rick Santorum. With Santorum's rise in popularity and continued surge, and Gingrich's implosion I think this is a good idea.
It isn’t yet a Romney–Santorum contest, but it could be headed that way. We hope so. Gingrich’s verbal and intellectual talents should make him a resource for any future Republican president. But it would be a grave mistake for the party to make someone with such poor judgment and persistent unpopularity its presidential nominee. It is not clear whether Gingrich remains in the race because he still believes he could become president next year or because he wants to avenge his wounded pride: an ambiguity that suggests the problem with him as a leader. When he led Santorum in the polls, he urged the Pennsylvanian to leave the race. On his own arguments the proper course for him now is to endorse Santorum and exit.
Santorum has been conducting himself rather impressively in his moments of triumph and avoiding characteristic temptations. He is doing his best to keep the press from dismissing him as merely a “social-issues candidate.” His recent remark that losing his Senate seat in 2006 taught him the importance of humility suggests an appealing self-awareness. And he has rightly identified the declining stability of middle-class families as a threat to the American experiment, even if his proposed solutions are poorly designed. But sensible policies, important as they are, are not the immediate challenge for his candidacy. Proving he can run a national campaign is.
Santorum is now leading Romney in the polls in Michigan. This is good news. Gingrich seems to have a lot of antipathy for Romney so I have a feeling if Santorum continues his surge and Gingrich continues to do poorly than Gingrich will drop out and endorse Santorum.
From The Guardian:
A Pew Research Center poll taken this week puts support for Santorum among Republican voters at 30%, two percentage points ahead of Romney. A month ago, Romney held a 31% to 14% lead over Santorum.
A Public Policy Polling (PPP) survey released on Monday showed that Santorum has taken a significant lead in the Michigan primary in a fortnight. Santorum is at 39%, 15 percentage points ahead of Romney. The numbers are a stinging blow to Romney because he was born in Michigan and his father was governor of the state.
