Why You Don't Want Rick Perry Making Decisions About Your Sex Life

Why You Don't Want Rick Perry Making Decisions About Your Sex Life: "The belief that sex is "immoral" pushes Conservatives to support abstinence-only, sex-is-immoral education and policy, even though it is proven to be harmful.

Governor Rick Perry of Texas has thrown his hat into the presidential contender ring, and his nascent campaign has quickly came to demonstrate why the blurring of the distinctions between church and state are so dangerous, especially to women. His campaign has surprisingly been even more of a demonstration of this than that of Michele Bachmann’s, even though the mainstream media consensus is Bachmann is more of a theocrat. Part of the reason is that Perry has been the governor of Texas for over a decade now, and his experience and power as an executive has simply given him more chances to blur the lines....and more reasons to be called out for it...."

Perry is just crazy.  They want to take over the nation, make it a theocracy, and make heaven on earth (Jesus not required).

I really don't what to live in a theocracy. Or a fascist country. Or a dictatorship. Or anything like that. I want my good old republic/democracy that we're supposed to have. I hope that next year we flip these crazies the bird and let them know we won't stand for their crazy shit.
