At first I thought the thread title screamed sensationalism, but for fucks sake, what the fuck was Perry thinking with this ad? President Obama has nothing to do with a percieved "war on Christmas" or the fact that kids cant pray in school. What Perry is basically saying is that if elected President, he's going to stick a finger to the Supreme Court and somehow overturn their verdicts relating to prayer in school (which isn't even possible at all)
this guy is a fucking dunce
[QUOTE=Eluveitie;33622984]There's something wrong when gays can serve openly in the military? Intolerant bastards.[/QUOTE] He didn't say thats wrong, he jsut said that if thats allowed Religion should be allowed as well. Doesn't make it much better tho.
I bet you if you replaced "gays" with "blacks" the commercial would have been banned.
I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want gays in my armed forces. They could attract enemy radar! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3icDB3kRKPg&feature=player_detailpage#t=250s[/media]
Also flagged the video too. This guy is one bigoted fuck.

[QUOTE=smurfy;33628489]Just so you guys know, this is exactly what people in other countries think of when they think of America[/QUOTE] And we deeply apologize for our polititians.
Suicide? That's putting it off mildly.

We don't need Perry, or Gingrich, or any of these party minions. It's obvious these people are just reading off of a script to get themselves elected, did any of us ever take this guy seriously?

So what they're saying has about as much credibility as an episode of Pengu.

What?
I like Penn Jillette's theory that this recent hard push for fundamentalist Christianity in the US is actually a sign of the death of Christianity. The internet, and information with it, is seeping into every child and causing agnosticism and atheism to expand rapidly. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJGxVeQw3SE&list=FLiznRxT3O0L9gilqzZ8qItA&index=1&feature=plpp_video[/media] He actually says a lot of interesting stuff. In particular the concept that "Christianity" as a unified front is a new idea (only since the 1960's) is fascinating. Prior to that, the religions were broken down by sects who didn't trust one another any further than they could throw them.

People are still claiming the 1st Amendment to fight against prayer in schools?
