Rick Santorum says that the "liberal" view of freedom is "not the kind of freedom our founders envisioned." Elaborating, he says "It is an entire culture that focus (sic) on immediate gratification and the pursuit of happiness and personal pleasure. And it is harming America."
Actually, Rick, here's what those wacky founders wrote in the second sentence of the Declaration of Independence:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." (emphasis ours)
Not only does Rick have has the audacity to claim that he knows what sort of freedom the founders envisioned, he believes that one of the three "unalienable Rights" they chose to enumerate is harming our country.
