Santorum thought nothing of cheating retired veterans in a naked land grab to benefit the Catholic Church

Rick “Scourge of God” Santorum claims to be “Veteran friendly” and has told whoever will listen, “it’s not about Republicans or Democrats…it’s about helping our veterans get what they earned.

Oh really? Apparently Saintly Santorum thinks screwing veterans for the good of the Catholic Church is a higher calling than helping them protect their benefits.

Try asking Saint Santorum about an amendment he made while a senator on a land deal between The Department of Defense run Armed Forces Retirement Home in northern Washington, DC., and the Catholic Church back in the 90s. The smell from that deal still lingers to this day.

Good luck getting an answer on why he did it. His office has steadfastly refused to comment on the naked land grab that has screwed future generations of veterans.

Laurence Branch, then the executive director of the Home's board, says Santorum's amendment was "a travesty" and the Church's lobbying for the land a case of "coveting thy neighborhood's goods."

To this day, Branch says he blames Santorum for the Home not receiving more money for the 49-acre parcel of land. "I'm convinced Sen. Santorum is no friend of veterans," Branch recently said.
