Rick Perry: Governor MoFo and Author

Texas' big haired dictator, I mean governor, has written a book about things that don't go his way. Mostly, about the ACLU being a pain on his butt because they keep suing the Boy Scouts of America. Being a Boy Scout himself, shocking since he has no honor, or at least no one believes that he does praises the Boy Scouts for discriminating against people who don't believe in God, the gays, and women.

Way to go Rick. I didn't think you could sink any lower.

Apparently, "[w]hether it is protecting the rights of pornographers, molesters, perverts, terrorists, garden-variety thugs, or those merely hostile to a belief in God, the ACLU is there to provide aid and comfort, in additional to a well-funded legal arsenal," Perry writes. Uhm, Rick, you may want to get your staffers to do some fact checking. The ACLU doesn't just sue people, it educates and protects people civil and human rights.

I don't understand how he can point the finger at someone else, because when it comes to doing the Christian or Godly thing in regards to important social issues (CHIP, healthcare, education...) he has been very un-Christian and un-Godly. Also he says that "If the liberal elites were only to try to chip away at the values of society from the outside, it might not matter except in the particular cases where their narrow view prevails," Perry writes. "The fact is, however, they are entrenched in public positions of power, wielding the levers of control in public institutions across the country."

I think the same thing can be said for religious zealots, uhm Dubya Bush, that have been chiping away at women's rights, immigrant rights, health care for the people who can't afford it, lack of funding for education, and the list goes on. Instead of doing the Godly thing, these religious extremists have worsened the state of the country.

Because the profits of the sale of his book are going to the Boy Scouts, apparently, that is what he talks about the most and the god-hating ACLU of course. He thinks that the ACLU is taking religion away and that, "[t]he faith that permeates the lives of so many middle Americans is often derided as a crutch for weak people," Perry writes. "This seems to be the view of many liberal elitists who worship the false idol of self. The views of a great many Americans are cast aside as over-simplified, and the liberal intelligentsia like to think of themselves as the only legitimate arbiters of morality. They think the public simply doesn't know better and is easily manipulated by the emotional appeals of troglodyte, conservative commentators."

I know what I'm sending Rep. Lon Burnam for his birthday or for Christmas. I know he would just simply love it. Anyway, the Austin American Statesman has an article about it.

Rick Perry, I consider myself a liberal person and I don't believe the ACLU is taking away people's religion or beliefs. In fact, I think they are protecting them from people like you. Grow up. Your opinnion and religion are not the only ones that matter.
