Image via WikipediaA new person will be entering the GOP Presidential race very soon. His name is RICK PERRY and he is the photogenic governor of Texas
There are some things that recommend him: Texas has jobs, people are moving to Texas Texas
His only problem at least according to me, is that he is what I call a religious nut.
He recently staged a big Christian rally in Houston
My only problem with that is that according to our Constitution written by our Founding Fathers, we keep religion and politics separate. Our First Amendment specifically states that the state shall NOT endorse any specific religion but will remain neutral on the subject.
Well Perry does not seem to pay heed to our Constitution which is not a good quality for someone running for the presidency of the country.
Our Founding Fathers in their great wisdom, a wisdom learned from the hard lesson of history, had Perry in mind when they wrote the First Amendment erecting a wall between state and church.
Perry has qualities that recommend him but I am afraid that his overt Christian religiosity makes him a danger to our way of life and hopefully people will recognize that at an early stage, at least people that are not religious nuts themselves and I use the word “nuts” to differentiate religious people that are not “nuts” when it comes to their religious orientation.
