Part of what we see in the interminable, now over 2-year build up to a presidential election is what people are made of, a candidate and his (aside from our female Secretary of State Clinton) staff are judged. But only the candidate is judged for the most part.
Governor Rick Perry’s latest ad, which must be highly targeted as I don’t see it even in Republican Country out here, condemns President Obama for allowing gays in the military (this issue was ultimately decided by the judiciary and signed by the President and military Chief of Staff).
This ad also states that our children are not allowed to experience Christmas. I happen to know that four generations of our Texas family went to two Christmas parades this weekend, one in town and another where family drove a few hours to see a grand-daughter in the band and grandson in Scouts in the parade.
If Christmas parades are alive and well in Texas towns, they must be elsewhere in small towns thoughout the US of A. While I saw Chevy’s Freedom of Texas fireworks every year from next door and even know the owner of the pyrotech company, my favorite fireworks are by the local fire company at the lake, in a Yankee state, where we sit on the grass for 15 minutes then go back home.
Perhaps Mr. Perry is preaching to a choir that hasn’t been there since Ronald Reagan or he’s showing that he really doesn’t care about any American voter who doesn’t hate soldiers in harm’s way that happen to be gay, or any American voter who doesn’t like purported Christians who aren’t, like Mr. Perry.
Zealots and haters should not be presidents of anything but hate groups. Not of our United States. Not cheery right now, Dee
