I can be pretty hard on the religious sometimes. Why stop now? Here's Rick Perry's new thing:
1. You shouldn't be ashamed to be a Christian, Mr. Perry. However, you should be ashamed by the fact that you believe the biggest problem facing our nation's children is not being allowed to "openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school." What about poor nutrition? Sexual abuse? Bullying? Nope. It's not being allowed to lead a prayer in 3rd period Biology.
2. Who's stopping anybody from celebrating Christmas? It's them liberals, I bet. Danged liberals!
3. And guess what, kids? You can totally pray in school. That's right: it's totally allowed! I know weirdos like Rick Perry want you to believe that your teacher and your principal and the school board and President Obama hate your religion and will stop at nothing to keep you from praying, but they can't. See, you can say a prayer silently from your seat in the cafeteria or before a History test virtually anywhere else on campus. God can hear your thoughts. Come to think of it, that's scarier than Obama's non-existent War on Religion. Do you remember everything you thought about today? I bet some of it was totally gross.
4. Hey, Rick: We'll stop our War on Religion when religion stops its War on Common Sense. Sound fair?
In summation: STFU, RICK PERRY!
