And Now for Something Completely Different

Posted on by

This is Rick Perry’s genuinely disgusting ad that he hopes will win him back the bigot social conservative vote in Iowa.

If you don’t want to watch it, here is the transcript:

“I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m a Christian, but you don’t need to be in the pew every Sunday to know there’s something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids can’t openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school. As president, I’ll end Obama’s war on religion. And I’ll fight against liberal attacks on our religious heritage. Faith made America strong. It can make her strong again.”

Here is a response:

Was it really faith that made America strong? Or attitude?

  2. Gay bashing is that last refuge of hopeless losers. It is increasingly clear the guy is so inept he’d have a hard time becoming dog commissioner in any but the the very reddest states.

  4. Perry’s ad will bring him millions of supporters among the Christian right. He just inherited Sarah Palin’s franchise, big time. He actually sounds coherent, and displays the “proper” tone – one that Ronald Reagan mastered – between some kind of fatherly piety (but don’t look closely at Perry’s private life) and a willingness to kick heathen a$$. That ad’s a winner, even though I despise the implications. He even looks a bit like Saint Ronnie, in his younger days.

  5. WOW! I didn’t know Obama had a war against religion, and I certainly didn’t know children couldn’t celibrate Christmas.
    Texas Christians don’t know squat about us unwashed Godless athiests, and I suggest they STFU about that which they know nothing about. Perhaps they should clean up their own house.
    Which brings me to a related subject; theme (parody) songs for looney Republican wanna bees. Herman Cain : Mambo #5
    Sarah Palin: Werewolves of London(Pit Bull With Lipstick)
    A suggestion for Perry, Newt, and Romney?

  6. erinyes,
    I would have thought Cain’s song would have been “Love Potion # 9-9-9.”
    Mitt’s – “Flip-Flop – I Was Faking a Stance.”
    Newt – “Your Cheatin’ Heart.”
    Huntsman – “Who Am I?”
    Bachmann – “The Girl With the Faraway Eyes.”
    Santorum – “Backdoor Lover.”
    Perry – “Home ‘n Deranged” or “Forgotten But Not Gone.”
    Sarah – “Cold, Cold Heart” or “You’re So Vain.”

    The “War on Christmas” has certainly taken a terrible toll on Christian families and especially the children.
    And before the horrible war, perfect strangers all around the country began the persecution by insulting them right to their faces, saying “Happy Holidays” to them – for years!
    This Christmas, our hearts go out to the survivors, and especially all of those poor little Christian children and their families having to celebrate their blessed holiday clandestinely as the heathen soldiers knock on doors, and godless drone missiles rain down on them. ‘Suffer the little children…’

  8. ‘Gulag,
    You brightened my day, brother!
    I was thinking “Beauty school drop out” for Bachmann, “Personal Jesus”( Marilyn Manson version) for Perry, “Flash” (Flash Gordon theme) By Queen for Newt, and “flip flop” for Romney!
    As far as this “war on Christmas” nonsense goes, I thought that dead horse was beaten beyond recognition over the past two years, but apparently there is a bit of meat left on the carcase.

  11. As someone once said, as long as there are math tests there will be prayer in schools.

    Rachel Maddow pointed out that his coat looks a lot like the one Heath Ledger wore in Brokeback Mountain. It’s what I think of as a “barn coat”, though it’s clear Perry’s never got close to a barn, (or even a truck without leather seating surfaces.)

    Just so I can keep my understanding of the Republican fever-swamp alternate reality straight, does anyone know whether Obama started his War on Religion before or after he tried to take away everyone’s guns and started training his army of IRS agents to move loyal Americans to FEMA camps? (I swear, their universe is more complicated than the history of Tolkien’s Middle Earth.)

  12. biggerbox,
    It’s all explained in the Conservative narrative – “The Savvy-marillionaires” (Old American for rich people).

    It’s where those “Hording the Things” will eventually rain down jobs and rings on the people of Middleclass Earth.

  13. The one gratifying thing is, looking at the High School students of the last decade, this homophobe and racist nonsense will soon be just another embarrassing memory of the “Land of the Free” (until the next cycle comes around).

  16. Off topic…But I want to showcase my work and let everybody see how well I captured the spirit of America in a recent photo shoot.

    Perry is concerned about something not being right in America…Gee, I wonder why he didn’t make reference to Newt’s little lady…She’s just one step up from a street walker and has no misgivings about servicing Newt in back alley Georgetown motels for 6 years without the benefit of a Christian marriage. She’s an adulteress and a home wrecker, and yet Newt thinks he can hold her up as a virtuous women worthy of being America’s first Lady…Not in my book..not until she publicly confesses and repents of her immorality.

    What God has joined together let no man(or bleach blonde money grubbing man eater) tear asunder?
