    What i find funny is, none of what you claim to not be factual can be countered with facts from you. that's the funny part.

    Rick Santorum doesn't. So far he's claimed that california universities do not teach American history (NOT TRUE) and that Dutch people wear arm bands that say "do not kill me" because they euthanize people against their will if they're old or sick (COMPLETELY NOT TRUE)
