Have YOU been in a California university recently? I mean, enrolled in an American history course to support Santorum's statement?

Actually, he was even re-elected as our senator in 2000! However don't be so down on our great state which is between Ohio and New Jersey.

Rick is also a proud alum of the original know nothing party school, The Pennsylvania State University and PSU made Mr Rick a Distinguished Alumni Fellow just like a man who once coached football as the defensive coordinator for 33 years. You notice Mr Man-on-dog hasn't said a peep about that little mess at our dear university.

I believe that he is leaning further and further Right until the Republicans just let him go.

The scary thing is that Santorum is trying to match his statements to what he thinks the average GOP base voter already believes and wants to hear. I do not think that Santorum is a stupid person, he is just trying too hard to appeal to people that are complete morons.

And here's a link to the History Dept at UC-Berkeley showing their lower division history courses. Scroll down and count the number of American history classes offered.

Undergraduate Courses | Department of History, UC Berkeley


Why can't a guy who thinks he should be president fact check something that's so easily found before he makes such moronic statements. This guy's judgement and temperment are 180 degrees off course.

Yep, UC-Berkeley, ranked #21 globally by the U.S. News survey:
World's Best Universities; Top 400 Universities in the World | US News
[with 6 of the 10 UC campuses being in the top 148 in the world]

And yet Santorum is running around claiming that these world-class universities don't even offer American History ...
