Rick Perry: Riddle Me This Riddle Me That
If a potential Republican presidential candidate travels through National Forest land in Colorado to stand before several hundred GOP donors who pay considerable amounts of money to hear him spread paper-thin rhetoric over the marriage equality debate, does he make one reasonable sound?
Over the weekend in Aspen, CO, at the billionaire Koch borthers' assembled two-day Governors Association roundtable, Texas Governor and maybe Republican presidential candidate, Rick Perry, told wealthy republicans with expensive ex-wives with expensive vacation-homes accessorized with expensive pocket-gay friends that he’s fine with same-sex marriage in New York considering he supports state rights and the 10th Amendment. However, he still calls himself an “unapologetic social conservative.”
Oh, I’m terribly sorry.
"Our friends in New York six weeks ago passed a statute that said marriage can be between two people of the same sex. And you know what? That's New York, and that's their business, and that's fine with me,” said Perry. “That is their call. If you believe in the 10th Amendment, stay out of their business."
But does he believe social conservatives should stay out of my business?
Highly doubtful. Perry promotes the Prayer Response, a pray away the gay rally hosted and paid for by the anti-everything-but-white-Christian-and-straight American Family Association, notorious for its stance against partner employee benefits, LGBT activism, marriage equality, and get this, the National Endowment for the Arts. Really, how gay is the National Endowment for the Arts?
Oh Rick. One state does not full equality make.
