Rick Santorum bashes liberals

Rick Santorum recently told a group of students that they needed to fight for conservative values in “every aspect of your life” because liberals who support abortion rights “make it uncomfortable” to shower at the YMCA if you disagree with their views.

“They make it uncomfortable for students who come to Austin to shower at a  young men’s Christian association YMCA gym. They’re willing to do and say uncomfortable things in mixed company. They’re  willing to make the sacrifice at their business because they care enough. They simply won’t give up.”

Santorum also said progressives focus on politics “in everything they do and in every aspect of their life…. They live it, they are passionate, they are willing to do and say uncomfortable things in mixed company, they are willing to make the sacrifice with their business because they care enough.”

He even likened liberals to the Continental Army of the American Revolution:

“We won the American Revolution against those British not because we were the most powerful, not because we had the most arms, not because we had the truth, we won because we wanted it more, we were willing to sacrifice everything for it and we were not going to give up, we were not going to stop. That’s how the left has done to America what you’ve seen in your lifetime because they simply won’t give up.”

“We have the truth and we give up, we have righteousness and we give up because it’s unpopular,” Santorum said.

The comments were made during an acceptance speech for the Students for Life’s 2013 William Wilberforce Award ceremony.

The Wilberforce Leadership Award is named for the British social justice and human rights activist, William Wilberforce, who led the fight to abolish the slave trade and was successful in helping to end slavery in Great Britain. SFLA awards two pro-life leaders each year who, like Wilberforce, are working to create and uphold laws that will eventually abolish the greatest human rights threat our nation faces, abortion.
