Rick Perry ... prophetic ... pathetic

Rick Perry hangs out with folks who believe that that the recent Japanese earthquake was a punishment for the refusal of the Japanese to embrace Christianity and for the repeal of ‘Don’t Ask Don’t tell’; that Hitler was a “gunner” for God; that mosques should never be built in the United States, that Hitler used gay men as soldiers because of their innate ferocity and generally evil nature; and that God talks to them about future tragedies like the recent east coast earthquake, or even worse, Rick Perry’s election as President. Rick Perry hangs out with leaders of the New Apostolic Movement, people who believe that God is working with them to take over American politics. If Obama’s relationship with Rev. Jeremiah Wright was a big deal, what is this? How can we seriously consider voting for someone that hangs out with, and shares many beliefs, with people like this? What has happened to the Republican Party that this kind of religious fanaticism is associated with one of the frontrunners to be the party’s candidate for president? It doesn’t take a prophet to foretell disaster if we elect someone who believes in this kind of nonsense. I pray that the disaster will be limited to the Republican Party … but I doubt it.
