Well, in this case, the headlines apparently are true. Goggle Rick Perry Lawrence v Texas and the truth will set you free.yeah. that's the problem. Not that Rick Perry wants to shrink government down to the size of a bedroom. The problem is obviously Mother Jones magazine.
What's that over there? A forest or just more trees?
the problem is, it may not be true. Headlines lie.
Seems the rabid right has another bigot, another homophobe, another ossified thinker to champion. Someone who disregards the protections afforded by the courts just to press his own warped, dusty, hate filled agenda of anti-privacy and the erosion of personal liberties all to satisfy the stilted, ignorant bigotry of a few knuckle dragging constituents from the mega churches and trailer parks.
Flashback: Rick Perry Supports Criminalizing Gay Sex | Mother Jones
So what exactly has Perry done? Well, for one, he is (still) a supporter of the Texas "homosexual conduct" statute, an archaic law that made it a crime for two consenting, unrelated adults to have sex if they were of the same gender. The law was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in the landmark 2002 case Lawrence v. Texas, but, despite repeated efforts, Texas has yet to formally repeal the statute. When Perry was asked about the Lawrence case in 2002, he defended the anti-sodomy statute: "I think our law is appropriate that we have on the books." He wrote about the case in his 2011 book Fed Up, too, citing the Lawrence decision as the product of "nine oligarchs in robes" and an example of what's wrong with our judicial system. And last spring, when Perry ran for his third full term as governor, he did so on a state GOP platform that exlicitly stated "we oppose the legalization of sodomy."
That doesn't sound like "Small Government" Conservatism to me.
Show me where Obama has used bigotry to advance an agenda. Perry has done it in spades.

Racist.
Mother Jones?
Good Grief.
Oh how feeble! Did Obama say he was going to infringe on your rights in any way? Hell no! He laid out how his opposition was going to characterize him. Perry, on the other hand, says he is not in favor of the Lawrence v Texas SCOTUS decision. And that's how he advances ignorance, fear and bigotry.Show me where Obama has used bigotry to advance an agenda. Perry has done it in spades.
If you insist...

Before you whine, the agenda was 'getting elected'.

Thanks for posting this bert. Now I'm going to send Perry a nice, big campaign contribution. I'll vote for him for sure now. The more you guys THINK you're smearing him, the better I like him.

Well least we know he'll have the vote of one racist then.
I've looked high and low for some shred of evidence showing Perry's support for the Lawrence v Texas decision. I've exhaustively looked for evidence of how Perry's Justice Department has worked tirelessly to enforce the SCOTUS decision.Well, in this case, the headlines apparently are true.

See, no... how it works is this. What is true is the actual Lawrence v Texas facts, a bunch of bullshit picked up from one site to another, rewritten and spun is not 'true'. You really, really, really need to learn to think.

As long as it is behind closed doors...Then ok, but once they start kissing and doing things in public and trying to get married, maybe perry may have a point. The bible says god hates it too. I can understand why god hates it as it is dishonorable and a sickness on society.
Did you research this as thoroughly as you researched this thread yesterday?
