Since losing his bid for re-election last year, former Senator Rick Santorum remains in high demand. He has gotten offers for numerous speaking gigs and to write another book. He became a senior fellow with the Ethics and Public Policy Center and has not refused an offer to sign on as a columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer. This Thursday he announced that he has signed a deal with the Fox News Channel to offer regular commentary on politics and public policy. “It’s an opportunity for me to continue to talk about the issues I care about and to speak to the country … outside of government as opposed to inside,” Santorum told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

I was sad to see this man, who is a great defender of the family and human life, lose his seat in the Senate, but I am glad to see that he remains a public voice.

His first book, It Takes a Family, is about the difference between social programs based on misguided intellectual ideals and those based on a moral code.
