Really? On the State Website??

That's what's so ironic about it, they swear by our founding fathers but yet they push for a Theocracy. Our Founding Fathers wanted no such thing

Truly is sad. Anymore politicians are born from talking points and not from the actual substance of an issue. People in general need to walk away from right or left news and really look up what's being talked about. There is spin on both sides to appeal to their respective bases. More people need to use it as "Oh I like that issue" moment and then do the research to see if the talking points tell the actual story. Informed Decision 2012. Intelligence and Common Sense 2012, Not Republican Or Democrat. Vote on the issues and individuals and not Red or Blue

Sad thing is this is what the Republicans are showing as people they want to run for President. Bachmann hasn't done this but has definitely made it clear her religion will dictate policy decisions. Which if they would read the constitution which they so proudly wave around and commonly misquote they would know this is not acceptable. So tired of the right constantly saying I believe in our founding fathers laid down for us when it suits their agenda and piss on it the rest of the time

Which is why I don't worry much about them actually winning in 2012. Their Christian agendas in no way represent the majority of the country.
I'm with you on the constant misquoting of the constitution. I believe if any of the Republican candidates ever find out the Founding Fathers were enlightened Deists, their heads might explode.

Yea our founding fathers weren't Christian and and the reason we came here was to get away from theocratic rule, and yet they keep pushing for a theocracy

Don't waste your embarrassnent, they would never understand.

And that's saying something considering that's where the shrub came from!

They don't "find out" about things.

They don't "know" things.

They just "believe" things.

Do you know what words are chiseled inside the capital directly above where the speaker addresses the assembly?

lol. Yea seriously this guy has failed. Just because his base voted and got him elected, doesn't mean he can alienate everyone else in the state. He's supposed to Govern the WHOLE state not just his base. Since I don't have a religion and since hell is if you believe in a religion, I need a word so I can tell him to go there lol Any suggestions? Maybe Go to the Moon? doesn't quite have a good ring to it

"Go to the Moon" is actually appropriate. It involves science and there is nothing a man with as limited an intellect as Rick Perry hates more than science.

Though I would hate to throw our trash on the moon and pollute something like we have our own planet lol

I guess the moon has not really done anything to deserve Rick Perry. We can send him to Mercury. It is like hell and he will be instantly incinerated. No muss, no fuss.

For that matter directly to the sun, it would definitely make him feel the comparison of his belief on hell

Precisely, Leen61 - I am getting sick to death of the religion becoming all intrusive in American Politics. That said, if you were to ask Perry if he believed in the Constitution, he would state he is one of its staunchest supporters.

By posting this on a state website, which religion did Congress make the official religion of the US?

Of course, Imzadi. And Perry doesn't even pick up on the contradiction......or does he?

Being that Jesus was mentioned quite a few times, I am going with Christianity. This is inappropriate.

Good question, sam. None that I know of.

Thank you for your post. Yes indeed the Porcelain Goddess she needs some attention hehe.

You're welcome, TDK729 :)

I agree that it is inappropriate.

Posting the video on a state website does not violate the first amendment's provision against establishing a national religion. It may be offensive, but it is not unconstitutional.

Inappropriate yes, unconstitutional no.

Please God make it stop! That's my prayer too' My other prayer is "Please lord, protect me from pious people!"

Ok now, that one really did crack me up!

Economic Collapse? They speak of perversion division and abuse? Natural disaster? Terrorism? Depression? All this can be fixed by praying and fasting? Not that I care if you pray for something, but this whole thing makes it seem like prayer is the only answer that will save our country. Action of the people is what is needed not the inaction of the current right wing and even some on the left.

Hey... I agree TDK729... I do not practice religion and find it, not to be shared by politicians, for political gain...

I value you our differences as humans, an one's beliefs is part of that. I have found good wisdom from certain parts of the bible, as well as the book of Mormon, as well as other religions. Also Bartlet's Book of quotes ;-). I do not feel the need to embrace one religion over another or even any religion to be a good person. People put to much focus on the I'm better than you, My religion is right, and not yours. We're #1 attitude is a little stupid in my mind unless it's in sports. We need to be better for ourselves to enrich our lives for the sake of being human, not for a title.War, We are right attitude has plagued this world since the beginning. Don't get me wrong there are reason to go to war, but too many times it has been for the wrong reason. Just like Iraq, I don't feel that's a war that should of been waged, however I fully support the Men and Women who have fought and died there. I can support the troops even though I don't support the war. The right wing thinks otherwise but to hell with them. To me it comes down to, We are all different and we are all the same, the differences are what makes life interesting and should be celebrated and not demonized

Great comment TDK729... =)

Amen!

Thanks! Kind of got off track for a minute lol
