Rick Perry’s religious campaign..

Before you read this post please watch this video:

My first reaction to this advertisement was how could anyone say “I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a Christian, but you don't need to be in the pew every Sunday to know there's something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military” when Rick Perry has been in the military and has probably served along with someone who was gay. Sexual preference does not make something wrong in this country; gays have earned the right to openly admit their sexual preference in whatever job they do.  And to make it worse Rick Perry says “but our kids can't openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school.”  Rick Perry is comparing two different issues and trying to make them both seem alike. Being openly gay is not the same as favoring a holiday in schools that only one religion celebrates. If you want your kids to celebrate a holiday openly then put your kids in a Christian school instead of a school that respects every religion. 

Over my break

Over my winter break I didn’t do very much. I rented The Help and Everything Must Go. I loved The Help but Everything Must Go was a slow depressing movie on how a guy was an alcoholic that has just lost his job and his wife left him. The guy comes home to all of his stuff out on his front yard and the locks changed on his house. After a night of binge drinking the guy realizes that he must sell his stuff and that is the end of his movie.  It was two hours of my life I will never get back. After Christmas I shopped online for the rest of my week.
