lulz! I just added another dislike.

I just wish I could have separate dislike buttons for the message and the presenter.

I hate to break it to you, but that ad was not bigoted. He never expressed an opinion on whether or not Gays should be able to serve openly in the Military, he just made a comparison that a Gay *can* serve openly in the military but a child cannot be openly Christian in school. (i.e. Cannot pray in school).

Again, the vast majority of people demonstrate that they are not actually thinking about things before criticizing it, but rather acting on pure emotion.

Pout.

They disabled comments. I wanted to ask Rick if he remembered the third thing he'd do after he fought Obama's war on Christians and the liberal attacks on religion.

I'm going to break this to you gently, Canis, because I know you're a frail flower, but advertising is about appealing to pure emotion. Rick fails to be emotionally appealing as well as intellectually unappealing. He has it all.

I saw Christian kids pray in school all the time. During homeroom, at lunch, before school, after school, in between classes, before tests, and so on. Nobody ever said they could not pray in school. Nobody said they couldn't wear their crucifixes, or wear shirts with Bible passages, or anything like that. The school even let them use school resources and property to have clubs and prayer meetings and the like. And I went to school in secular New England.

What they weren't allowed to do is force other students to pray.

I'll give you that, which is why he flamed out pretty quickly when he was running. He's now just banking on money and name recognition along with some easy pandering to the Evangelicals, as seen in this ad.

Hah haha! That's so funny. I wonder if Obama still thinks he's in Texas when he's attempting to summon the ghost of Theodore Roosevelt?

Exactly. And that's what's wrong with America. A homo can join the military, but I can't bully some jew kid into loving Jesus???

I heard they're even letting homo jews join the military now. Thanks for ruining our country, 0bama!

I'd feel the same way if it was someone trying to force some Christian kid to say a Muslim prayer. Kids should absolutely be allowed to openly display their faith, but they cannot compel others to do so.

The sentiment that Perry is expressing is also claiming to speak for all Christians. Yes, the type of Christianity Perry believes in is anti-gay, btu there are also other Christian denominations that are openly supportive of gays and marriage equality. Why should his interpretation of Christianity takes precedence over theirs?

I'm kinda of the opinion that giving the government the power too enforce religious laws is giving the government the power to interpret scripture, and become THE authority on religious law. That's a hell of a lot of power to give the US government.

Well... I think YOU can, but the school can't.

When even CanisNoir sees through your blatant pandering, you're doing it wrong. Rick's not just bad at debating, he's bad at everything.

Rick Perry. Bad at everything. Bad for America.

He's lying. It's perfectly legal to pray in school

.

It's not a lie if you're too stupid to understand the truth.

We talking about Perry, Canis, or both, here?

Both, I guess? I don't know. I meant Perry, but I'm sure it can apply to others.

If Perry is elected, I have no doubt that he'll achieve what I previously thought was impossible... He'll make me wish we had Bush instead.

You aren't allowed to blow your commanding officer when you are on duty either. Get back to me when Christian kids are banned from going to public school if they tell someone they are Christian. That is most certainly a bigoted ad and by extension so is Perry. If you are against gay rights, you are a bigot.
