Rick Santorum and the Intellectual Heft of Conservative Talk Radio

Rick Santorum filled in for Bill Bennett last Friday and got a bit carried away singing the praises of conservative talk radio.

Air America is “just a bunch of liberal, emotional sop,” he claimed. Whereas conservative radio has facts and reason and intellect.

But Michael from LA made quick work of that theory:

Santorum:

Talk radio has succeeded because talk radio engages the mind…

 

That is why they want to quash talk radio. It appeals to the reason within us, and that’s like conservatism, which is seen by the American left as anti-intellectual, is in fact the intellectual argument for policy here in America.

 

So that leads me to our caller, who again has been kind enough to hang on for quite some time, Michael from Los Angeles…

Michael:

There’s a way that we Catholics as Catholics can defeat the left [and] I laid it out to your staff…

After 6 six years of theological research with a friend of mine…we found out that Catholic laymen who were confirmed can do exorcisms.

I have been doing them since 1990…on leftist politicians.

Santorum:

So the answer is, we have to do exorcisms on…who?

Michael:

Politicians.
