So, let's see if Amazon publishes my review of Santorum's book

[Ian David]

Spreading Santorum's Message

"The notion that college education is a cost-effective way to help poor, low-skill, unmarried mothers with high school diplomas or GEDs move up the economic ladder is just wrong." (page 138)

Well, with that revelation in mind, I contacted several guidance counselors at a few Christian and Catholic High Schools.

I read them that statement and asked what they thought of it.

Ten out of the Ten counselors I spoke to expressed outrage and disgust.

And then, when I told them I was simply Spreading Santorum's message, three of them recanted once they knew the source.

Said one Baptist school official, "Well, if it comes from Rick Santorum, then I guess it's true. After all, Santorum is the one who wants to shut-down The National Weather Service because a lobbyist for the Accuweather company gave Santorum $5,500. If it wasn't the right thing to do, he would have needed more money."

A guidance counselor from a Catholic school told me, "At first I thought you were having me on. But when you told me that quote came from Rick Santorum, it made sense. I'm going to stop advising our girls to pursue college educations after they graduate. In fact, I see no reason why little girls need to complete a fourth year of High School."

Thank you, Santorum for the following Pearls of Wisdom.


“Marriage is not about affirming somebody’s love for somebody else. It’s about uniting together to be open to children, to further civilization in our society.”
“Fox News Sunday”, Fox News Channel, August 3, 2003.

Finally, we can stop wasting all this money educating little girls and we can focus on the really important issues, like keeping gay people from marrying box turtles.

Unfortunately, I can nrecommendend this book because it fails to provide any concrete blueprint for a family to adhere to the book's primary premise:

"In far too many families with young children, both parents are working, when, if they really took an honest look at the budget, they might confess that both of them really don’t need to, or at least may not need to work as much as they do… And for some parents, the purported need to provide things for their children simply provides a convenient rationalization for pursuing a gratifying career outside the home."- Page 94

I'm still left asking myself, "In my loveless marriage that I've entered into for the good of society, how can I afford to raise and nurture as many children as possible on just one income? Maybe I should have married a box turtle."

2. Wow

The book has an average rating of 2 1/2 stars - pretty pathetic.

I was happy by all the one star reviews.

3. Many of the 5-star reviews are sarcastic/ironic

It would actually have been a lot lower.

I'm wondering if it might get censored because I used the phrase "spreading santorum."
