He uses his bully pulpit to Praise the Lord and denounce "ungodly secularists." His speeches are designed to give the most reticent Baptist minister a raging spiritual hard-on. His public remarks are peppered with Christ this, Jesus that, and Washed in the Blood of the Lamb - and there's always a prodigious dose of Old Testament condemnation thrown in for good measure. Like every other evangelical with a taste for Rapture, Gov. Rick Perry wears his religion on his sleeve and is dismissive of constituents who refuse to worship "correctly." Texans (and particularly gay and lesbian Texans) who disagree with his fundamentalist views should move elsewhere, Perry says. And the "establishment clause" of the First Amendment? Not worth the parchment it's written on.

I wasn't sure if it is news or opinion, so I picked other.

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Nothing like the fear of God to promote yourself.

God bless Governor Perry, his disciples, and the state of Texas; when 2012 hits, I know that these thumpers will be the first to spend their monies to purchase green tickets so they can aboard ridiculous modern Noah arks---long live the rich and Godly! Really there is no difference.

HAHA, heaven full of Gold! Don't believe in materialism.

Can Texas formally remove an office holder of the state? Since he is clearly violating the first Amendment.

I found this site "stumbling" and I thought it was quite frightening. Had to share it.

Is that why you seeded it, kiml? Did it give you a nut??

Actually, he scares the hell out of me with his self righteousnesses.
