I’d say America disagrees, Rick.

I literally have no idea what possessed him to make a campaign ad like this! It’s like he never learns! Because look, Rick Perry, and everyone else in the Tea Party as well: here’s something you guys haven’t seemed to have learned yet.

Queer people are everywhere. Queer people are sons and daughters. The person who lives down the street from you might be queer. Your barista might be queer. Your trash dude might be queer. What’re you going to do, tell them they’re wrong and sick and disgusting and that their lifestyle is less valid than yours? Because the majority of queer people - and the majority of people, really - all they want is a place where they can live the way they want to live. And really? Insulting gay service members, Rick Perry? Service members? They’ve done more for this country than you have! (Santorum should learn this too, but I’ve given up on Santorum learning anything. He didn’t learn after people decided they hated him so much that they would make his name a sexually obscene word; ergo he’s not going to pay attention now)

It’s pretty sad that you’re so desperate that you’ve got to attack a perfectly innocent minority group just to make people like you, but you should also learn something: do shit like this and people won’t like you. I didn’t like you before but now I wouldn’t dream of voting for you in a million years, if someone paid me a million dollars. Want to be our president? Start by upholding the laws of the land, also known as the Constitution. Guess what the First Amendment of the Constitution states?

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

It’s pretty scary that you want to return America to “faith,” Rick Perry, when you consider that this country is secular by definition.

Manali and Manali’s overbearing opinions out.
