Texas Gov. Rick Perry said today that using foreign aid to combat human rights abuses against homosexuals in foreign countries is not in Americas interests and attacked President Obamas decision to require U.S. agencies operating abroad to promote equal rights for gays as part of the administrations war on traditional American values.
Just when you thought Barack Obama couldnt get any more out of touch with Americas values, AP reports his administration wants to make foreign aid decisions based on gay rights. This administrations war on traditional American values must stop, Perry said in the statement. Promoting special rights for gays in foreign countries is not in Americas interests and not worth a dime of taxpayers money.
Perry moved beyond the national security implications of the decision and honed in on what he deemed to be an attack on traditional American values.
But there is a troubling trend here beyond the national security nonsense inherent in this silly idea, he said. This is just the most recent example of an administration at war with people of faith in this country. Investing tax dollars promoting a lifestyle many [Americans] of faith find so deeply objectionable is wrong. President Obama has again mistaken Americas tolerance for different lifestyles with an endorsement of those lifestyles. I will not make that mistake.

Au contraire, it’s excellent that Perry is standing up to the fag agenda and Ohomo.
Speaking for myself, I think that I have a greater understanding of it than you appear to have.
I’m not a Perry supporter, but he’s a 1000% correct.
