Pastor Dennis Terry Introduces Santorum, Tells Liberals & Non-Christians to 'GET OUT' of America




Greenwell Springs Baptist Church pastor Dennis Terry introduced presidential candidate Rick Santorum and Family Research Council president Tony Perkins tonight with a rousing speech railing against liberals and non-Christians and condemning abortion rights, "sexual perversion," same-sex marriage and secular government. Terry said that America "was founded as a Christian nation" and those that disagree with him should "get out! We don't worship Buddha, we don't worship Mohammad, we don't worship Allah!" Terry, who has a long history of attacks against the gay community, went on to criticize marriage equality for gays and lesbians, and said that the economy can only recover when we "put God back" in government.

Update: At the end of the event, Terry prayed over Santorum and asked God to "have favor upon Rick Santorum" and to "do a mighty work" in President Obama's life:



See the additional (update) video here: http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/pastor-dennis-terry-introduces-rick-santorum-tells-liberals-and-non-christians-get-out

p.s. Towards the end of the first video it shows Santorum applauding the wacko preacher!

who have not the slightest understanding of what this country is SUPPOSEd to be about. it was NOT founded as a christian nation, but then, that knowledge would upset their ignorant, bigoted, hatefilled worldview.

I say, the sooner the rapture, the better.

Another anti-constitution argument.

edit: was bugging me, so I looked, and the phrase "natural born citizen" apparently isn't actually defined in the constitution, only used in it.

And "Allah" simply means "God" and is in fact "the God of Abraham, Isaak and Jacob".

In the sermon on the mount...Mathew 5

Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven


And that speech violated most of what Jesus said in the Sermon On the Mount.

Telling little kids that burning forever is just what they deserve -- even if you go on to say that you know the answers to a special quiz that will get them out of it -- is child abuse.

This old gent lived in a nursing home and would routinely go around telling the other residents to "Get out of my house!"

Just like Rev. Terry, this old guy was too stubborn and out of touch with reality to make it worthwhile to tell him that (a) he didn't own the place, so he had no right to order people out; and (b) the other people had just as much right to be there as he did.

It's a terrible thing when the mind goes.

They've declared war against: Muslims, Buddhists, gays, and Liberals. And they've already declared war on women!

I thought that was an old Falwell clip, for nearly a minute. Bit slow on the uptake, sorry.

Isn't there some way we can deport all of these poor deluded repugli nazis to Guatemala? The Kennedy boys got rid of Carlos Marcello that way, for a while.

What I don't understand is why they do not see how this any different from the propaganda they spew about the Middle East and yet they wan't to do similar things in the US. Religious governance and banning porn? Come on now...

Im glad the word Santorum has been defined already...

http://news.yahoo.com/rick-santorum-disagrees-pastors-statement-non-christians-230317782--abc-news.html

The pastor is eerily reminiscent of people in the media back in the fifties and sixties calling to send blacks 'Back to Africa.' Because they can't be Amurikans, you know.

My argument was always, 'If you didn't want to live with blacks, your ancestors should not have brought them over here. It's their fault, not you get to live with it.'

'IT' being some nebulous, short-sighted terror of the other that would be eliminated immediately if they suddenly could see the world through the eyes of the other. When they die, they probably will.

Some weird websites claiming reincarnation, say what you try to escape from in this life, you will be in the next. Everything that does not conclude in love is a lesson unlearned and pain that will be carried on until you learn.

Hey, what do I know? Anonymous internet poster.

Santorum did not get up and walk out and Santorum did not denounce the pastor's words when it was his turn at the podium.

Remember when all the folks said many times that Obama should have gotten up and walked out when Rev Wright was speaking.

The GOPers are just hypocrites and assholes

As this country continues its slide toward imperial decline, but now I am staying because I must deny these people what they want.

I agree, tax these bastards. Money that they do not pay we all collectively make up for. We should not be subsidizing hate speech.
