Ok, I see, Rick Perry wants to give lots of foreign aid to Islamic nations in the Middle East who abuse the rights of gays by throwing them in prison and violently crack down on gay gatherings, but are also strong allies of the United States?

Can who name one of these Islamic nations in the Middle East who abuse the rights of homosexuals, but are strong allies of the United States?

I bet that neither, you or Gov. Perry can name such a nation.

So therefore, Rick Perry is once again talking nonsense.

OBAMA: “I am deeply concerned by the violence and discrimination targeting LGBT persons around the world — whether it is passing laws that criminalize LGBT status, beating citizens simply for joining peaceful LGBT pride celebrations, or killing men, women, and children for their perceived sexual orientation,” President Obama wrote in a memorandum with his name attached. “Under my Administration, agencies engaged abroad have already begun taking action to promote the fundamental human rights of LGBT persons everywhere.”

Obama didn't say Islamic nations. If you want an example, Russia beats gays that gather to demonstrate.

How on earth do you arrive at that conclusion from the article? Scratching my head a bit...

He didn’t say that. He is opposed to Obama’s pandering to his base. Millions of Christians are being deprived of life liberty and property and he doesn’t say anything. He cares only for the gays because they fund his campaign.
