Let's see... patrimony according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary is defined as....
1 a: an estate inherited from one's father or ancestor
1 b: anything derived from one's father or ancestors
2 : an estate or endowment belonging by ancient right to a church
No mention of women at all there. Should we be surprised? Not when it's coming from a misogynist like Rick "Man On Dog" Santorum!
From Think Progress:
Santorum: ‘Conservatives believe in the stewardship of patrimony.’
Last night on Fox News, former senator Rick Santorum told Greta Van Susteren that the Republican party “has to stand up for conservative principles.” They have to support the “patrimony” against “a guy named Barack Obama” who wants to upend “our social structure”:SANTORUM: The other thing we have to do is we have to stand up and say, look, America — Conservatives believe in the stewardship of patrimony. In other words, there are things in America that are really good, that work, have worked for 200 years. And we have a guy named Barack Obama who’s trying to fundamentally rewrite everything, change our economy, change our social structure, change our economy to something new.
Santorum also praised the 75 percent of Californians who did not vote in yesterday’s special election, “because they knew enough that they didn’t know enough to vote.” Watch it:

Patrimony has worked for 200 years??? He's whining and complaining because the 1950's have come and gone. He wants to control everyone who isn't a white male. I'm with ya, Eddie. Why would any self-respecting woman vote for him or anyone like him - or marry them for that matter.
I guess I'm one of those "radical feminists" who succeeded in undermining his own traditional marriage. What's a matter Rick? Is your wife withholding sex and you can't legally rape her now?
More like the Victorian Age ended more than 150 years ago and nobody told the Rethugs.
At least the Victorian Age had SOME things that were romantic about that era, but there's nothing romantic about modern-day thuglicans.
That's true...but the prudes ruled the day, just like the Rethuglicans and radical fascist religious right wants to do.
He's fucking out of his mind. Did you know that when his wife gave birth to a stillborn baby, he took the body home for all of their other kids to see? How psychotic is that?
Riot Kitty - Yes...he is out of his fucking mind.
I remember when he did that with the stillborn baby. He had to take it home so the rest of the kids could meet their sibling. And yeah...that IS psychotic.
OMG! How horrible. That is psychological child abuse. He should be locked up. Remember when he got in Hillary Clinton's face - invaded her comfort zone on stage during a debate as if he were stalking her? He's seriously nuts and he lost the election.
Of course he's nuts, Nancy. He's a radical right-wing religious fascist.
All that was missing was his gimp suit and his bitch-slaves.
What a charmer.
There used to be a bumpersticker:
Just say no to sex with Republicans.
As for the rest. LOW SELF ESTEEM. There are plenty of self destructive Americans out there and a lot are women. They think that they deserve Man-on-Dog-Santorum. Like maybe he is some karmic debt they have to work through.
But thanks for the heads up. I missed this and plan to link to this post at my blog.
It's shit like this that makes me glad I homeschool. I wouldnt want some Republicon Cult member teacher or spawn indoctrinating my kids into this idiocy.
Seeing Eye Chick - You are soooo right about the self destructive Americans, and I think those who are females are that way because of the way they have been treated ALL their lives by domineering males, just like what Santorum is.
Thanks for the link at your blog!
I would like to visit your blog, but I don't know your URL.
I'm going to have to write a letter of complaint to the Philadelphia Inquirer about this idiot. There really is no place to have this talking imbecile as a contributor to a major city newspaper. Ricky "Rooster" Santorum is a fool. Pennsylvanians must have been asleep at the wheel when they voted for him. We here in PA are very please with Santorum's replacement, Senator Bob Casey Jr.
I remember watching his children cry on the stage when he lost his re-election. I feel sorry for his children. They have to live with this fool.
Cats - I can't figure out why any major paper would want a psychopath like Santorum writing anything for it.
And they all wonder why paper sales are way down. This is a good reason why.
I feel sorry for his kids, too, especially the female kids. (I can't remember how many he has, or their gender.)
