“This is not a political war at all. This is not a cultural war. This is a spiritual war. And the Father of Lies has his sights on what you think the Father of Lies - Satan - would have his sights on: a good, decent, powerful, influential country. The United States of America. If you were Satan, who would you attack, in this day and age?…He [Satan] attacks all of us, and he attacks our institutions. The place where he was, in my mind, the most successful and first successful was in academia. He understood the pride of smart people. He attacked them at their weakest: that they were, in fact, smarter than everybody else, and could come up with something new and different. Pursue new truths, deny the existence of truth. Play with it, because they’re smart.” -Rick Santorum at Ave Maria University, 2008. Audio here.
