This memo is in response to a recent Fox News interview with Rick Santorum, in which he states that “I think the bottom line is that we do well among people who take their faith seriously, and as you know just like some Protestants, some Protestants are not church going, they are folks who identify with a particular religion but don’t necessarily practice that from the standpoint of going to church and the like, and I think, you know, with folks who do practice their religion more ardently I tend to do well.”

Dear Rick:

I go to church just about every week.

I take my faith very seriously.

It is precisely because of how seriously I take my faith that I will never in a million years cast a ballot for you or any other right-wing theocrat who’s for “small government” when it comes to economic and political justice for all of this nation’s people, but is all for making government bigger when it comes to imposing your sect’s values on everyone else’s lives.

In other words… bite me.

Sincerely,

Me.
