More on Marriage

Being the knee-jerk liberal that I am, it wouldn't occur to me that more than a handful of nutcases would actually want women to return to their status held in previous times in our history. And, certainly not elected federal officeholders. But then I be so sadly wrong.

From Rick Santorum's new book, by way of Capitol Buzz, that's exactly what Mr. Santorum seems to be calling for in this laments:

"Many women have told me, and surveys have shown, that they find it easier, more “professionally” gratifying, and certainly more socially affirming, to work outside the home than to give up their careers to take care of their children. Think about that for a moment…Here, we can thank the influence of radical feminism, one of the core philosophies of the village elders." (It Takes a Family, 95)

Women, what are you doing thinking that you can have gratifying careers outside the home? That's for your hubby, not you, fer heaven's sake. It's selfish if you want it. It's God's will when your husband wants it. Get with the program.

Capitol Buzz has more quotes if you can stomach it.
