Rick Santorum: Social conservatives are getting beat by pop culture



Former-Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., explained at the Family Leadership Summit in Iowa on Saturday that social conservatives were getting beat by pop culture.

“We’re losing this debate not because of politics, let’s be honest about that,” Santorum said. “Politicians didn’t change the culture, popular culture changed America.”

Santorum pointed out that most conservatives take a more passive stance by trying to protect their families from some of the values celebrated by pop culture. At the same time, he added, their children spend as much as eight hours a day in front of a screen, and only average about ten minutes a day talking with their parents or going to church.

“Who’s raising your children? Who’s creating the moral imagination for the future of our country?” Santorum asked.

He reminded the audience that traditionally, family members, civic leaders and church communities used to be the ones telling the stories.

Well which is more fun to do Rick? An 8 hour Curb Your Enthusiasm marathon or your typical 8 hour Catholic church service?
