Would Santorum Bring Duggarism to the White House?
Rick Santorum has scooped up another endorsement. This time from the religious reality show family the Duggars, you know, Jim Bob and Michelle from “19 and Counting.” For what it’s worth, the Arkansas breeders backed Huckabee last go around. The reason for their recent endorsement: Santorum "just votes from his heart and votes on his convictions, votes on things based on the Constitution of the United States and the Bible,” said Jim Bob Duggar, a former legislator.
Undoubtedly, the Duggar clan endorsement was based on the similarity of views betwixt the Duggars and the Santorums. For instance:
… both have large, home-schooled families;
… both lean toward a theocratic form of government (Jim Bob said he prefers Jesus Christ leading the country, but would settle for Santorum);
…both apparently oppose birth control;
…both have trouble with science and are willing to ignore over-population and climate change;
…both claim to be “pro-life,” but are all for bombing other people’s children (i.e. Iran and all them Muslims);
…both believe there are no valid “values” but their own, and, if given a chance, would impose their views on others and punish non-conformity.
…both think government should be in our bedrooms—which might require additional staffing in their case.
Do the math and you can see that it won’t take too many fruitful generations before the Duggars have their own political party. They might even rename Arkansas, Duggarville, and turn it into an alternative Disney World.
For the time being, the Duggars are just a boring version of the Kardashians. But Jim Bob has his evangelical heart set on a new reality series: “The Duggars Do the White House,” co-starring the Santorum family.
Now that would be a horror show!
