They will never accept gays. That level of ignorance and hate cannot be penetrated by evidence, logic, or rationality.

Are Perry's followers this heartless? Would they have condoned foreign aid to Hitler's Germany when the Holocaust was occurring because they were Jews, gypsies, intellectuals and homosexuals?
Based on the anti-gay posts in this thread by some of this boards posters, it sounds like the extremist religious right in this country is already turning into Hitler's Germany.

Sounds like a good start. If their treatment of women, other religions, etc. isn't also enough reason why.

Thread fail.
How is he trying to distort or spin the article? You quoted a line from the article that says Perry said "Promoting special rights for gays in foreign countries is not in America’s interests and not worth a dime of taxpayers’ money.” That sounds pretty hateful. If he was simply against aid to certain countries, he didn't have to phrase his comments like that.

Not to mention, what's being talked about now is denying aid to countries where there are egregious civil rights violations against gays. This would not cost money; in fact, it would save money.

It sounds like Rick jumped on what he saw as an opportunity to show his hatred of gays without even knowing the facts of what he was talking about. Talking about things without knowing the facts is not new for Rick.

And you won't be happy on that day. If you want to pull the religious card, you will lose.

Matt 7:
1“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

3“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

Matt 7
15“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16By their fruit you will recognize them.

Matt 7:21
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

What is the "special right" being advocated? Free streaming movies for all gays in the nation? The right to bear arms by gays only, and not straights?
