Tupelo MS’s Homophobic Don Wildmon started out supporting the Homophobic Ricky Perry, Gov. Of Texas, but dropped Perry like a nest full of mad red-wasps soon thereafter. Then, more recently, Wildmon has met with other leaders of the so-called Religious-Right to decide who will fill the vacancy left by Perry. The Homophobic Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania fame is, according to some news media, high on the list to fill the Perry void, further proof that Homophobia is contagious among Homophobics of the Christian Right! – AB

Rick Perry Decks The Halls With Boughs Of Homophobia

by Rev. Susan Russell, HP, 12-30-11, Re-posted by AlBratt Jan 8, 2012

“It’s beginning to look a lot like [a slightly belated] Christmas — but sadly Rick Perry is decking the halls with homophobia rather than holly. His new December ad campaign promising voters that as president he would “end Obama’s war on religion” and “fight against liberal attacks on our religious heritage” begins: read more here…

“No Virginia, There’s No War On Christmas”

 by Lorraine D. Wilke, HP 12-10-11, Re-posted by Al Bratt to In Perspective 12-11-12

 “Write that down a few hundred times. Say it out loud a few times more. This is important, Virginia, because some would have you believe if you say something often enough and loud enough it becomes truth so — just in case the theory holds — let’s be sure what we’re repeating is actually true.

THERE’S NO WAR ON RELIGION.

THERE’S NO WAR ON CHRISTMAS.”

And, by the way, my advice to Virginia is: do not believe the misinformation broadcast by Don & Tim Wildmon & their AFA. It’s all propaganda aimed at their uneducated supporters who donate money to finance the un-desirable activities of a pseudo-christian organization known as the American Family Association headquartered on the “Dark Side” of my hometown, Tupelo MS.– AB

Rick Perry’s “Ponzi Scheme” Babble: Whoops, Again!

GOP Administrator Al Cardenas:

“Cardenas said that while many Republicans agree with Perry that Social Security needs to be reformed, the Texan’s rhetoric about the program being a “Ponzi scheme” was ill-advised.”

“When you call Social Security a Ponzi scheme, that tends to get some folks concerned. I think the electorate in a Republican primary is open to reform ideas … but they’re not willing to see us do away with it or to consider it in danger,” he said. “So when you use wording that may put it in an endangered category in the minds of a listener, that’s when you gotta explain yourself a little better.”

*******

My guess is that Perry’s political advisor and financial gift-horse, the Rev. Don Wildmon of the “Dark Side” of Tupelo MS, has instructed Perry on his political Social Security ponzi scheme mumbo-jumbo.

A lot of us, myself included, are dependent on a Social Security check for our survival. Rev. Wildmon is by no means qualified to advise on legislation that effects any American’s Social Security Benefits. Period. Wildmon supports Perry thinking he is the president who will be the driver for his long sought-after Christian Dominionism to rule America according to the Seven Mountains format. Perry is a gullible means to an end for an activist like Rev. Don Wildmon. If Social Security is a “ponzi scheme,” Wildmon’s tax-exempt status is a “total fraud”( a simplified term) perpetrated on those working-class people who pay their taxes. Bring on the IRS! Bring on the Republican ethics investigators! PRONTO!!! BEFORE WILDMON & PERRY WREAK MAYHEM ACROSS THE LAND! -AB

Rick Perry’s Controversial Money Man

Two Characteristics I Automatically Assign To The Christian Fundamentalist’s quest for political power: One is “To Lie” and Two is “To Buy” in the name of the Almighty.– AB

“Perry’s Controversial Money Man”

by Michelle Goldberg, Sept. 6, 2011, Daily Beast

“Archconservative James Leininger bankrolled Perry’s rise, helped religious fundamentalists take over the Texas GOP, and is lining up Christian leaders behind the governor’s 2012 bid.”

“During the last weeks of his 1998 race for Texas lieutenant governor, Rick Perry was tied with Democrat John Sharp, and many expected him to lose. That’s when James Leininger, an archconservative San Antonio multimillionaire, and two other Texas tycoons stepped forward with a $1.1 million loan for a last-minute media blitz. It was more than 10 percent of the total Perry raised for that race, and it probably was decisive—Perry won with 50.4 percent of the vote. ‘I congratulate Leininger,’ Sharp later told The Austin Chronicle. ‘He wanted to buy the reins of state government. And by God, he got them.’”

“A Christian Plot For Domination” [A Must-Read Expose` For Every Sane, Concerned American]

(2 pgs.) By Michelle Goldberg, Daily Beast, 8/14/11

“Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry aren’t just devout—both have deep ties to a fringe fundamentalist movement known as Dominionism, which says Christians should rule the world.”

…“a recent Texas Observer cover story on Rick Perry examined his relationship with the New Apostolic Reformation, a Dominionist variant of Pentecostalism that coalesced about a decade ago. ‘[W]hat makes the New Apostolic Reformation movement so potent is its growing fascination with infiltrating politics and government,’ wrote Forrest Wilder. Its members ‘believe Christians—certain Christians—are destined to not just take ‘dominion’ over government, but stealthily climb to the commanding heights of what they term the ‘Seven Mountains’ of society, including the media and the arts and entertainment world.’”

And, to accompany Michelle Goldberg’s expose` here’s more rom Right Wing Watch:

“It seems that Liberty Counsel’s Matt Barber is none-too-pleased with the coverage that dominionism and its influence and role within the Religious Right movement has been receiving in the media and on blogs like Right Wing Watch and so he has decided to attack those  who have been writing about it.”

AFA, Big Oil, Climate Change, EPA, Response Prayer Rally, Rick Perry

According to media sources, Tupelo MS’s Tax Exempt AFA paid for Rick Perry’s “Response” political rally for president and lied about it, calling it an apolitical rally. Perry is considered an important political ally of the Christian Right as they embark on their campaign for Christian Seven Mountains Dominion over America (control of government, education, business, religion, media, family, entertainment) and, gradually, according to pseudo-historian David Barton, dominion over the “whole world”. Hence, the specter of another uninvited “Dark Ages”with all its accompanying barbaric human rights violations and right-wing Christian contrived horrors. –ab

“The New Guy”

by Gene Karpinski, HP, Aug. 17, 2011

The “Washington Post” claims Gov. Rick Perry is a “climate science denier”…

“Perry makes clear that he would take down every environmental and public health protection implemented in our nation if given the chance. One of the first policy positions he’s asserted since announcing his candidacy is to call for a ‘moratorium on all regulations’ including EPA safeguards meant to protect the air we breathe and water we drink.”

Rick Perry’s “Texas Miracle” Con Job 8-12-11

by Earl Ofari Hutchinson, HP, Aug. 12, 2011

“Texas governor and reported GOP presidential candidate Rick Perry is the nation’s greatest political con artist. His so called ‘Texas Miracle’ has been totally debunked as a fraud. Yet Perry, with generous help from conservative business leaders, tea party acolytes, and suddenly revved up evangelicals will keep the con very much alive. The so-called miracle that Perry and his backers peddle is of course that Texas is the runaway national model for how to create lots of private sector jobs, with minimal government red tape, and with a pittance of taxes. It’s the state where the good times are supposedly rolling for everyone, while the bad times are piling up for everyone in every other state.”
