Rick Santorum does not support the separation of church and state. That is blatantly unconstitutional, hello — the government is not supposed to make a law “respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”. As in, we have a freedom of religion (or freedom from religion if we so choose), but the government is not allowed to establish religion in the government. Thomas Jefferson and other Founding Fathers were major supporters of this, which is why Jefferson is no longer in Texas history (I wish I was kidding). 
No separation of church and state means prayer in schools, religious indoctrination of children in schools, creationism and ID instead of evolution, bans on abortion and gay marriage indefinitely, tax payer funded churches — and all of this Christian. If that doesn’t stomp on our rights, which the Republicans are always going on about (which rights though I don’t know — the right to destroy the environment and push religion down throats?), I don’t know what does. The Republicans already try so hard to push religion into every aspect of our society and that is with a separation of church and state — even if they try to ignore that part of the Constitution. 
Seriously, what Rick Santorum and his right-wing extremists want is a theocracy. That is not freedom. And that is not American. Remember how many people came in the first place to escape religious persecution? Yeah. 
Rick Santorum — the fact that you actually have supporters shocks and baffles me.

    He has now said he supports it, but only in the sense that the state shouldn’t tell the church what to do. I’m guessing...
