Santorum: ‘Conservatives believe in the stewardship of patrimony.’

Last night on Fox News, former senator Rick Santorum told Greta Van Susteren that the Republican party “has to stand up for conservative principles.” They have to support the “patrimony” against “a guy named Barack Obama” who wants to upend “our social structure”:

SANTORUM: The other thing we have to do is we have to stand up and say, look, America — Conservatives believe in the stewardship of patrimony. In other words, there are things in America that are really good, that work, have worked for 200 years. And we have a guy named Barack Obama who’s trying to fundamentally rewrite everything, change our economy, change our social structure, change our economy to something new.

4. Patrimony? I had to look it up.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/patrimony

Pronunciation:
\ˈpa-trə-ˌmō-nē\
Function:
noun
Etymology:
Middle English patrimoine, patrimonie, from Anglo-French patremoine, from Latin patrimonium, from patr-, pater father
Date:
14th century

1 a: an estate inherited from one's father or ancestor b: anything derived from one's father or ancestors : heritage2: an estate or endowment belonging by ancient right to a church

So, inheriting stuff is somehow American and a 'conservative' value?

That'll come as a surprise to a lot of people.

:crazy:

7. They use 'Patrimony' to mean 'white men in charge of everything' n/t

9. Wanna mess with them?

Say "patriarchal" out loud.................

[csziggy]

12. Actually I talk about matriarchal societies and matrilineal descent

And then get to explain the terms.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

13. Jews everywhere applaud you ......

Surprised at how few people know what those terms mean?

[csziggy]

15. I was stunned when my veterinarian did not know what matrilocal meant

Especially since she is an equine specialist and feral horses are matrilocal.

But I don't get much chance to stump people with the terms since many of my friends and acquaintances have had at least a few hours of anthropology. The professor that taught Kinship was legendary at the school here.
