 And on the other hand, Santorum wants to make a Federal Amendment against gay marriage (which would mean that it would be illegal in all States of the Union)

Again, extralegal =/= illegal. All Santorum wants to do is prevent the federal government from recognizing gay marriage. That's also all Ron Paul wants. Their reasons may be different but again, it is a distinction without a difference because the end result is the same.

And the most dangerous religion at the moment is quite clearly secular progressivism. At least traditional religions are based on faith in spite of a lack of evidence, whereas progressivism demands faith in the face of mountains of evidence to the contrary. For example, your implication that the Department of Education is worth one single shit. It is not, and the billions and billions it spends every year are a complete waste.


How do you think all of the poor people from rural and inner city areas would receive proper educations without the Department of Education?

The Department of Education doesn't run rural and inner city schools. 

From what I generally know about people wanting to get rid of the Department of Education, none of them want to get rid of federal funding of schools, they just want to get rid of the DoE, and it's ridiculious counter intuitive funding guidlines that at best force teachers to drill into their students specific rigid test ideas that will rarely be used by them later on... or as is often the case, rampant cheating. 

Simply so they can get funding... they would be MUCH better off writing a check to each state based soley on student population.
