Fake Christians continue to show their true colors by persecuting gays

The two items below are the examples of silly desperation.

Neither Rick Perry nor Rick Santorum will ever get to the White House. In fact, their behavior on the campaign trail makes one wonder just how did they attain their original elected offices in the first place. They are both like a bad dancer who has tripped his way through a recital and now thinks of himself as a Baryshnikov.

The polite word to describe both Santorum and Perry is demagogue.

Here’s Perry’s new anti-gay ad launched in Iowa — watch:

And from Santorum, Gays “destabilize the family” when they have children “through technology” — watch:

For the LGBTQ community and our allies – NEVER get angry at the desperation of fools. Use their ignorance to further your cause. In other words, don’t get angry. Get educated.

  1. I think it’s safe to say that Obama or another Democrat is going to win the 2012 elections. These people have no chance. Instead of helping the country, they’re trying to turn it into something else. That and they’re focusing one thing and one thing only, homosexuals. They have not done a fucking yet they continue to make bullshit about them. And use them as “They did it’s” for whatever goes wrong.

  2. Here’s a good quote for them: “No One Heals Himself By Wounding Another.” (St. Ambrose of Milan)

  6. We have seen Perry’s ad’s on tv here in Iowa for some day’s now I hate that he uses the word Christian because a true Christian would know that God made everybody and he has not been appionted judge and jury over anybody.

  7. I think I lost a few IQ points after watching this. I’m surprised these pieces of filth are even getting airtime.

  10. I think it’s quite obvious that they will not be president, nor will they be the Republican candidate. However, isn’t it a little much calling them “fake Christians”?

  11. The commercial where “Prick” talks about faith really makes my stomach churn.

  12. That rick perry ad shocked me. I’ve lived in Texas. I thought it was wonderful. People there were so open and kind.
    Rick Perry doesn’t represent Texas. He is a disgusting jerk. He has no Texas pride, or he wouldn’t be such a asshole.

    Posted on Wednesday, December 7, 2011 at 5:43pm
  13. But I DO get angry at this. It is hate speech!!! Get angry AND educated!

  14. Has Perry finally stepped into the santorum up to his eyeballs??

    Posted on Wednesday, December 7, 2011 at 5:52pm
  15. okay Rick, the Bible says nothing about celebrating christmas, the Bible does however say that we are all fearfully and wonderfully made children of God

  16. How does this make them fake christians? This is exactly the kind of people with imaginary friends.thinking one expects from

  17. i do appreciate the “fake” at the beginning there. i hope more realize this. also pretty sure Perry misunderstands the trends of US opinion as much as he thinks the president does.

  19. im sure they will really step it up before the elections, they have to divert the peoples minds away from the fact that the republicans have failed us in every way. they will use the gays are taking over to try to scare people into voting for them. they will use this to get the holier than thous out to vote. we are the only group left thats it socially acceptable to hate what a pair of Pricks

  20. all of them and many of us would do well to reread the book of peter 1 and live it

  21. The world is full of psudeochristians !

  22. Thats exactly how I would expect a christian to behave

  23. The ignorance of these two people amaze me. Exactly how much of America do they think will agree with them? Rick Perry is a complete tool who thinks Americans don’t understand the difference between seperation and segregation. And as far as Sanctorum is concerned, children need a mother and father, and they MUST be a man and woman. By that logic, any child with both a mother and father should never complain about them. No matter if they’re abusive, negligent, careless, or anything. No, what children need are PARENTS. Loving, caring individuals with the willingness to love their child unconditionally. Same sex couples tend to make better parents than most straight couples simply because of ignorant assholes like him who make it so difficult for them. Becoming parents as a same sex couple is a trial in itself. It’s not something that just happens, like getting some girl knocked up and suddenly having this new child thrust into your life. No, for same sex couples it’s something that requires a commitment and a sacrifice. Something this asshole would know nothing about.

  24. amazing how far these bigoted psychopaths will go in the name of their ‘god’, shame shame shame

  25. Ummmmm, Santorum especially makes me question his own intelligence… Rick Perry looks like he’s just a good player, but Santorum really looks like he’s serious in what he says…. wow wow wow…. how the hell does ‘traditional marriage’ lose when gays and lesbians are also permitted to wed? It shouldn’t be a lose-win situation in their eyes, it should be win-win. Straights can marry and LGBTs can marry. What the fuck is wrong with that? It’s called win-win. Now quit being an asshole Santorum and ‘Prick’ as I saw someone call him… sums it up right…

  26. Just so everyone knows, not all Conservatives are against Homosexuality. I’m a proud member of the Log Cabin Republicans and I am having difficultly picking a candidate that I find tolerable.
    What happened to war and the economy. Why is this election about gays…
    Really, we’re not all this crazy.

  27. wow I’m embarrassed to SAY I’m from Texas because of that bozo! sorry if there are kids of many religions who DON’T celebrate Christmas and pray to your christian god.. hence WHY they don’t have prayer in school.. oh wait they do they just cant FORCE non christian kids to pray in school, your kid can still pray, even with their friends albeit in private so has to to make OTHER students uncomfortable who are not christian. Gays serving openly in the military is so they DON’T have to sit there and lie or make up some bullshit excuse to their mates about why they wont sleep with (insert hot chick/dude here) when off base at a club or whatever, so they can say “hey I’m not into that person because…”.. grr i need to move the hell outta this state soon!

  31. Glenn,

    Do yourself and the rest of us a favor. Support and vote for President Obama, at least in 2012. He is much better for us (though not perfect by any means), than any current likely Republican presidential candidate this time.

    I’m not suggesting that you change your party affiliation or your philosophy, but just accept that this is a better choice this time.

  32. Obama’s war??? Take that up with the founding fathers of this nation! I am having a really hard time believing that this is real…
