Glenn Beck Likes Santorum by David Boaz

Jim Geraghty of National Review reports:

A few moments ago in the car, I heard Glenn Beck, talking about the 2012 prospects, declare, “I really like Rick Santorum . . . This guy gets it 110 percent.”

That would be Rick Santorum, the former senator who explicitly rejects “this whole idea of personal autonomy, . . . this idea that people should be left alone” and “the pursuit of happiness.”

A few more statements like this, and people will begin to wonder if Glenn Beck is really a libertarian.
