Gov. Perry: Economic Crisis Is Part of God’s Plan To Return Us To Biblical Principles

Gov. Perry: Economic Crisis Is Part of God’s Plan To Return Us To Biblical Principles: "For the past week, Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) has been roundly criticized by religious and LGBT groups alike for inviting other governors to join him at an anti-gay prayer event hosted by stridently bigoted American Family Association. Not only has Perry courted the radical wing of the religious right for years,  he has a history of bucking responsibility for tough problems by invoking God. For instance, while Texas was facing a historic drought and rash of wildfires, Gov. Perry extolled Texans to “pray for rain,” as he tried to cut funding for the agency battling the wildfires."


Please remember that the American Family Association, along with the Family Research Council, like the Westboro Baptist Church, are all listed by the Southern Poverty Law Center as hate groups for their strong anti-LGBT positions.
