"Republican presidential hopeful Texas Gov. Rick Perry urged an evangelical audience to “do what Ronald Reagan did at the apex of the Cold War which is to speak past the oppressors and the illegitimate rulers and directly to their people.” Perry appeared at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia.
“It is important that [pastors] stand in the pulpit every day and defend those values, those Christian values. America is going to be guided by some set of values - the question is going go to be - whose values?” said Perry. “I believe that… it’s the Christian values that this country was based upon.”
