Perry, who has campaigned on states’ rights and local control, said he would prefer that planners find another site far from Ground Zero. But he supports the right of local citizens to authorize it.
“I’m a big believer in freedom of religion but believe it would be best for all involved to put the facility elsewhere,” Perry said. “However, zoning is a local responsibility and as a staunch supporter of the 10th Amendment, I do not think the federal government should take steps to intercede or overrule the wishes of local residents. The citizens of New York City will decide the fate of this building.”
Horrifying! /s
Is that kind of like how he was for gay marriage before he was against it?
Wow, and we used to think FLIP-FLOPPING was bad when Kerry did it.
Now, if the mosque were in the way of his NAFTA superhighway, then he would find a reason to oppose it.
(Yes, this is a place where Perry’s actions and Perry’s words meld.)
Thanks for setting the record straight. The Left Wing Media is pulling out all the stops and it's only going to get worse!
Thank you for that post. The lying sacks of **** that keep attacking him with only half of a story ought to be ashamed.

Thank you for the quote. Bears repeating
He's such a staunch supporter of the Tenth Amendment he supports it doing stuff it doesn't even include. Like killing babies. And changing the meaning of words.
