Rick Perry Ally Hates The Statue Of Liberty

[RandySF]

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.

6. No offense, and not in support of this nutcase, BUT: "Lady Liberty" is not quite simply a statue

for freedom. Well, in a way, as the Enlightenment was all about freedom of thought.
But the crown? The torch? Anyway, it is a depiction of a goddess: the Goddess of Reason.

8. Fundies hate Reason

They place blind faith above everything else. Reason is their enemy.

on the insides of their eyelids. You just can NOT fix stupid.
