Rick Perry Saddened People Aren’t Tolerant Of His Intolerance, Feels His Attacks Are Being Attacked





On Tuesday morning in Austin Texas Governor Rick Perry stood in front of conservatives at the “Faith and Family” rally. He believes that there is a perpetual attack on what he believes are traditional family values.

He said, “This is a very unsettling time in our nation’s history… These are the days when a person is vilified when they state that they believe fundamentally that marriage is between one man and one woman.”

It's like they think it's okay for them to hate others, but it is not okay for us to call out their hate. They're all het up for a culture war, only we're not supposed to fight back? What a whiner!

Have you heard that Van Morrison song, "These Are the Days"? I love that song.

...because there is something SERIOUSLY wrong with their brains.

I've long suspected that it's a "software" problem - Garbage in, garbage out.
Cognitive dissonance.
The poison of religion.
Something like that.

But I'm beginning to worry that it's a "hardware" problem.
Something in the water? Or the GMO foods that they eat?
Something along those lines?

It's called hate. It's a very bad software problem. They may be born with it, but more than likely it was learned.

Rick Perry is a creature of money worship. If times were different and things had already changed in this state - he would follow the money and adjust his thinking accordingly. It's just convenient for him right now to feed his rabid crazy base with hate.

I can't wait til the day he leaves office permanently.

on him.

in or I will be God and punish you. The Bible says that God gives us freedom of choice. Where is Rick Perry in the Great Commission when he makes Laws for the wealthy but speaks down to the values of Faith for the villains?
