Perry sticks by alcoholism and homosexuality comparison
Texas Gov. Rick Perry stood by his recent comments comparing homosexuality to alcoholism.
Appearing on CNN's "Crossfire" on Wednesday, Perry was asked by co-host Stephanie Cutter whether he believes homosexuality is a disease.
"I think my position has been fairly clear on that for a substantial period of time," Perry said, pivoting quickly to the economy as a more pressing issue facing the United States. Full story

Do not give any of your children
to be sacrificed to Molech,
for you must not profane
the name of your God.
I am the Lord.
(Human sacrifice... A moral choice.)
Do not lie with a man
as one lies with a woman;
that is detestable.
(Same sex – sex... A moral choice.)
Do not have sexual relations
with an animal
and defile yourself with it.
A woman must not present
herself to an animal
to have sexual relations with it;
that is a perversion.
Leviticus 18:21-23
Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery.
Ephesians 5:18
(A moral choice)
The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, He gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
Romans 1:18-32
Were you mollested as a child?
I have trouble listening to Perry.
He doesn't really offer anything... he seems to just put forward the basic party-line stuff from the more conservative wing of the GOP... but do it very poorly. He hits the buzz words without explaining the content even a little... and that only works if you already agree with his point of view and are already aware of the buzz words.
And this is different than whom. Obama brought us change, unfortunately he did not explain that Putin and Castro would now feel at home in this country
Wow, good one George.
Alcoholisim,
A condition in the old Soviet Union. Caused by the drab conditions imposed by the State. Nothing to look forward to but producing for the state. A condition that the Liberal's are trying to impose here in the U.S. State control of everything.
Says the Tea Tard as he gulps Everclear from a Mason jar from his "lean to" on his trailer.
This is reason one of a hundred that he is woefully unqualified to be much more than the president of the local Rotary club. I have all the tolerance in the world for realistic political outlooks, but one based on homophobia and ideological fantasy has no place on the national stage.
Your coverage of Rick Perry on immigration was extremely unprofessional. He was constantly interrupted and the Democratic guest he was supposed to be debating was hardly given any chance to speak. It is an interview. Not a chance for the host to state their obvious bias political opinion. I live and visit this area. Perhaps the newscast needs to better familiarize themselves with the situation on TX borders. It is completely out of control and has has long term consiquences for all Americans in many ways. And to say you can't blame this administration? Are you delusional? This administration is the reason this is happening! Try fair and balanced news if you want to be taken seriously.
Unfortunately for the nation and the republican party that it is full of this type of rhetoric and outdated thought. I would like to invite you by mark tone.WordPress.com. to read a post titled "Rick Perry is the Phenotype of the Republican Party". I enjoyed your intelligent presentation that opens the question of why! ?
