In his inaugural speech, Texas state Sen. Charles Perry (R) compared what he called the “spiritual battle” being waged in the United States against religion to the persecution and killing of Jews in the Holocaust.

Moments after laying his hand on the Bible and taking the oath of office Tuesday, Perry recalled a recent visit to a World War II-era concentration camp in Berlin.

“There were 10,000 people that were paraded into a medical office under the guise of a physical. As they stood with their back against the wall, they were executed with a bullet through the throat. Before they left, 10,000 people met their fate that way,” Perry said, according to The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal.

“Is it not the same than when our government continues to perpetuate laws that lead citizens away from God? The only difference is that the fraud of the Germans was more immediate and whereas the fraud of today’s government will not be exposed until the final days and will have eternal-lasting effects," Perry added.

1. Oh, barf. Gives theists a bad name.

“Is it not the same than when our government continues to perpetuate laws that lead citizens away from God?"

No, you idiot. And it would be quite interesting to know what you think should be done to atheists.
I'll take a drunk peeing against a church, in the middle of the night, against people who think they should rule the world, any day. These people are in positions of power.

2. Agree on all counts. He is sickening.

[okasha]

3. He's got to be related to Goodhair.

That much stupid can't be random.

4. They are apparently not related, though the guv has been a big cheerleader for him.

5. Lubbock--that's oil money and dry Baptists.

The only "war against religion" in the US is being fought by keyboard warriors with inflated egos and a handful of stuntmen.

What this yahoo is calling a "war against religion" is defense of the First and Fourteenth Amendments, and that benefits everyone--including the yahoos who are opposing them..

6. Agree. As much as I hate to see him in this position,

I am glad he is getting a lot of publicity for making some really stupid statements.
