Fail Quote: Santorum advocates for non-theocratic theocracy

Rick Santorum

From Republican presidential contender and appropriate Google search result Rick Santorum:

Now, unlike Islam, where the higher law and civil law are the same, in our case, we have civil laws, but our civil laws have to comport with the higher law.

Our civil laws have to – and that's why, with the issue of abortion, as long as abortion is “legal” – at least according to the Supreme Court, “legal” in this country – we will never have rest because that law does not comport with God’s law, which says that all life has value, all life is created by – I knew you in the womb.

Got that? In Islam, civil law is decided by divine will and is thus theocracy and bad, whereas in the U.S., civil law must be in accordance to (Christian) God’s will, which is thus not theocracy and good.

Hang on, trying to stop my head from spinning.
