Rick Perry - My Reaction to Your Strong Ad

On August 13, 2011, Perry announced in South Carolina that he was running for the Republican nomination for President of the United States in the 2012 presidential election. I couldn’t believe this, Rick Perry was one of the single most reason I didn’t want to live in Texas. He now wanted to be President of the United States. I wasn’t happy about Rick Perry being anywhere, but democracy is what makes our country great. I sat and watch all the coverage of the Republicans vying for the nomination. I watched and read indiscriminately every news story, newspaper article, and debated with people of all backgrounds.


I than saw a Rick Perry ad on Television entitled Strong. All I have to say to Rick Perry is oh how nice of you to take a stand for all religions and taking a more utopian view point. I really want to walk around my son's school and say Happy Hanukah and Ramadan to all my peeps!! Oh let me not forget Pagans and Christians celebrate Christmas, so Merry Christmas too! I will be pleased when you’re elected and all religions are free to worship and pray at school like Muslims, Christians, and Wiccans etc… just like the religious freedom the Pilgrims came to this country in search of. Oh you meant religious freedom just for Christians? That only Christians should be allowed to pray in school?

What a wonderful world we would have if gays could serve in the military openly and everyone is free to practice their religions; utopian ideals again. Rick Perry is on a roll. Wait, Rick Perry is not talking about the war on a place where all religions can practice as they see fit at any place. He is talking about establishing a place where only Christians can worship. Homosexuals for the first time in this country can fight for the freedom they believe in without fear of being persecuted by the person in the fox hole next to them. The armed forces have finally totally been unified into a force that can’t be reckoned with. Rick Perry is not fighting for this in our schools. He is promoting a place of fear for children that are not Christians; a place where children have to fear bullying for believing something different. We all know that as soon as something is labeled different, it is rejected, deemed less than human, and then exterminated. Haven’t we learned the lessons of slavery and native Americans, not to mention the NAZI final solution. Rick Perry’s utopia is a STRONG, WHITE, CHRISTIAN society only!
