LOL. Rick Perry Ally Hates The Statue Of Liberty

[tanyev]

Texas Governor Rick Perry (R) is organizing a giant prayer-fest to help tackle the nation's problems, but some of its celebrated participants have unusual ideas about exactly what's wrong in America today. For example: mass pagan worship of the demonic Statue of Liberty.

The website for Perry's "The Response" lists Dr. John Benefiel of the Heartland Apostolic Prayer Network prominently on its website as one of the event's endorsers, but Benefiel's vision of America is one that excludes Lady Liberty and her evil, secular, French Freemason agenda. Right Wing Watch recently posted video of a Benefiel sermon in which he condemned the famed Statue of Liberty, one of the nation's most beloved icons and a symbol of hope to incoming immigrants for over a century, as a "demonic idol" and "false goddess" sent to turn Americans away from God.

That's a mighty strange bedfellow you got, Guvnor.

1. "strange bedfellow"? Not really

Perry is just as much of a loon and hater as Benefiel. Just saying. :shrug:

2. Well, I don't think Goodhair would call the Statue of Liberty a demonic idol.

And I suspect he's not nearly as religious as he is pretending to be these days.

3. It's from France isn't it?

Perry would say anything to get elected. So nothing is off the table. Right now the statue is not important to him, but Perry would definitely have been in the camp that changed the name of French Fries to "freedom fries". Plus it's a symbol of immigration (legal or otherwise - unwashed masses you know) that his winger base hates right now.
