Last year the December before I graduated high school. Our high school was so decorated with lights, paper, bells it looked like the engine room of the starship enterprise. Not allowed to celebrate christmas my ass. Rick Perry, Self rightous, xenophopic fuck!

You know America is fucked if he gets elected as is the rest of the world he's worse than bush he'll destroy the economy complete ruin good relations with other nations destroy many civil rights like freedom of religion and even freedom of speech all forms of marriage equality he'll kill america dead
Hey Latum ;) if you catch this comment I suggest you look up someone on YouTube called "MarmiteMan4" if you have some time take a lookeyloo you won't regret it, it's like accidental comedy, also if you have the time, maybe reviews his 'logics' if can even call them that. :D
I agree with you 100%! Rick Perry needs to crawl back under that rock where he obviously originated! Nice response to that jackass. (He does fool lots of folks, though!) Rick Perry is just one of a collection of twats who want to be President of the U. S. Thanks for this video.
Your chin got a bit spitty in this one. I love it. Rick Perry is filled with vaginal seepage and ignorance. Plus, I get that creepy child-molester vibe from him.
I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm an atheist. But you don't have to rant on youtube everyday to know that there's something wrong in this country when an Englishman knows more about it than the people campaigning to lead. As an American, I'll fight to end these idiots' belief that this country should be lead by the poly-interpretable doctrine of an unprovable being. Logic made America strong and it can make him strong again. I'm Ginnystolemyman, and I approve this message.
It's both hilarious and a bit scary that you can be this drunk and still crush Rick Perrys idiocy. To think, this guy was the front runner for the nomination once..
This video made me want to throw heavy, metal, inanimate objects at your head. Don't get me wrong though, I still agree with your response to Rick Perry. I'm just sayin is all..
Attention Rick Perry. REAL CHRISTIANS who follow the law of jesus, of love one another, are ashamed and horrified you would dare to call your bigoted, self righteous, Holier than Thou, ass, a christian. How dare you subvert and hijack our religion to your purposes and agenda of spreading fear, promoting hate and inciting violence? SHAME ON YOU!
The only christians being hounded in the USA are idiots like you Rick Perry, who have no clue as to what it means to be a christian. And that goes for the rest of the candidates, GOP/TPers and their corporate overlords.
Please don't misconstrue this as me sticking up for Rick Perry... but I think you misunderstood the opening statement of his video. When he claims to "not be ashamed to admit he's a Christian". I think he's taking a jab at the current president who, in some people's opinion, seems extremely ashamed to be a Christian, if he is one at all.
Also, which founding document contains the phrase "separation of church and state"?
@thereprieve So in order to be a Christian president, saying you are a Christian and going to church isn't enough? You have to act like you're being persecuted. Ahhh I get it now.
And no where is "separation of church and state" written (to my knowledge), but its the understanding of the intent and function of the Est. Clause of the 1st Amendment. Just because its not written explicitly in the way its now understood and talked about doesn't mean it doesn't exist as a concept.
@LatumWay - "So in order to be a Christian president, saying you are a Christian and going to church isn't enough?"
Not what I'm saying at all. I'm just saying that the current guy is highly likely pretending to be a Christian. I don't care one way or another what he is, much like Perry. But I don't think anyone should ever have to be less than proud of what or who they are to win a job. Would you want a proud gay person fora president, or one who hides it?
@thereprieve Have you read Obama's books? Have you seen him in interviews, openly professing his adherence to Christianity?
What makes you think he's lying? I mean, he goes to church, talks about his beliefs, has openly professed to being a Christian... why do you think he's lying, and what does he have to do to convince you he is a genuine follower of Christ?
@LatumWay - I read "Dream from my Father". Do you want a book report or is there relevance to that question?
"openly professing his adherence to Christianity"
Most politicians would sacrifice their mothers to become president, it means very little to say you are a Christian. "If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen." -John 4:20...
Obama is a politician, and nothing more. He does not have to convince me that he's a Christian, he only has to convince God. If he is a Christian, I would expect that he does something Christ-like. If he really wanted to convince me, he could denounce the false prophet Mohammed. Yet, when it comes to affairs of that nature, he embraces Islam. I have no problem loving a muslim, but I will never hide from the fact that they worship a false God.
@thereprieve "muslim[s] ... worship a false God." The sweet irony here being that Christianity and Islam both worship the same god. Have a nice day :)
@LatumWay - On more than one occassion, he's made the claim that there are "many paths to Heaven" (in some form or another). In John 14:6, Jesus says otherwise. He has claimed that Jews, muslims, and Christians worship the same God.
He was the only one of Illinois 100 congressmen to vote against the "born alive" act that made it a law to perform life-saving acts on a child that survived abortion. does that sound like a Christian way to vote? (more...)
... According to a 2007 interview, when asked if he believed in sin, he said “Yes.” But when asked to define it, Obama said sin is, “Being out of alignment with my values.”
He said he feels most aligned spiritually “when I’m being true to myself.” Biblically speaking, sin is breaking God's moral law. It's not something to be perverted toward our own view(s).
Read Cathleen Falsani's 2004 Huffington Post interview where he claims Christianity, but that his roots are deep elsewhere.
@thereprieve Some Christians believe that all of the Bible is metaphorical, or that Christ died on a vertical post instead of a cross, or that the soul is not immortal... Christians vary very much in their beliefs. I think you're using very strict and unfair parameters to determine his faith - essentially saying 'he's not a true Christian because he doesn't fit MY definition of what one is".
At the very least, surely you take him at his word - he follows Christ. Therefore he is a Christian.
@LatumWay - The vertical post is minor and not as significant as the inability to acknowledge what sin is or who saves you from the wages of it.
So what parameters would you suggest that I use? In other words, I am a lamp post. There are many definitions of a lamp post, and many have different concepts of what a lamp post consists of. I said I am one so that makes me one?
@thereprieve The 'vertical post thing' was to illustrate a point. Obviously if he was saying he was a Christian, but going out and living his life as a Sikh, that would be counter intuitive. But like I keep saying, he goes to church, he says he is a Christian and he follows Christ. Bottom line - you are saying he is not a 'true Christian' because he has differing opinions of Christianity. That's the issue here, and frankly, its ridiculous.
@LatumWay - He's been to church twice this year, once on Easter Sunday and then this last Sunday right after New Gingrich called him out on his faith. He cannot be considered a christian by any acceptable definition of the word. Maybe some modern "it's all about me" definition, but not by any historical account.
Actually, as far as I know the "wall of separation between church and state" was a term coined by Jefferson. In a letter to the Danbury Baptists explaining what the intent and function of the first amendment is. So, while it's not written in the constitution, it's explicitly stated by Jefferson himself that that is what it means.
He does the whole God bless America shtick every US politician does at the end of their speech. Sure, Obama's not bringing it up constantly like Bush, the (supposedly) born-again Evangelical Christian...but that's because Obama's not a born again fundie Christian. That doesn't make him any less of a Christian though, and it'd be ridiculous to try and claim so.
No document contains the exact phrase, but the intent is conveyed
It seems to me that, almost invariably, the more loudly a given politician proclaims that he/she is a Christian and would like to implement policies inspired by his/her religious convictions, the more likely they are to be a manipulative, phoney, douchebag who couldn't be less interested in loving their neighbor, turning the other cheek, and other christ-like behavior.
Aren't we better off just going with a secular government instead of rewarding this?
@bowlsallbroken "Aren't we better off just going with a secular government instead of rewarding this? "
Secular governments, historically speaking, don't have much of a track record to run on either. As I said to Latumway, why be ashamed of who you are? We elect you because of who you are, or at minimum, who you pretend to be. Obama had to pretend to be a Christian in order to save votes he likely would have lost if he said he was a muslim or an atheist... or whatever else he may actually be.
I just love how Obama attended a Christian church (please don't No True Scotsman) regularly for years and people think he's a secret Muslim/Atheist, while McCain was *not* a regular churchgoer and people gave him a free pass on the religious test. I think we all know what this is really about, don't we?
My point is that the intersection of religion and government is all about manipulation and that embracing it won't bring the sincerely religious a "godly State".
@bowlsallbroken - You are either intnetionally misunderstanding me, or playing dumb.. .not sure which.
My wife's best friend has attended a catholic church since she married her catholic husband 10 years ago, but is no more a catholic than you are. Going to church is not a litmus test of one's Christianity. As I've said (repeatedly now) be proud of who you are... don't pretend to be something you're not just to win elections. It speaks of cowardice.
@bowlsallbroken Kind of like how Obama releases his birth certificate to prove he was born in this country while McCain gets a free pass even though McCain actually was born in another country. He was born in Panama. The irony is palpable.
@NimbusDX - McCain was born to 2 american citizens serving in the military and the congress reviewed his eligibility before he could run for president. Obama only born to one American parent (who may or may not have lost her citizenship when she married a foreigner), produced very little proof of where he was born, and faced no congressional inquiry. Yes amigo, the irony is palpable.
Well, it's not people asking the questions in regards to Obama that bothers me, it's the insistence on spinning conspiracy yarns in lieu of accepting the real answers to said questions.
Again, I think we know where this is really coming from.
@MATTman101wow - Can I establish my religion in a school? What about a bible study in the lunchroom? Sounds to me like laws have been made against the free exercise and establishment of religion. Before you get ahead of yourself, I'm not arguing that you should be allowed to do either of those things, only pointing out the hypocrisy,
@thereprieve No, and no. Maybe in a private school that allows it, but not in public schools where other children will have differing beliefs from you, and is sponsored by the state which cannot respect any establishment of religion. Also, I was just pointing out the quote that protects your right to have a Bible study, on your own terms, on your own property, or on the property of your religious place of worship. What is wrong with doing Bible study in your own church anyway?
@MATTman101wow - Nothing whatsoever. Furthermore I should be permitted to hold a bible study in my own home with fellow believers... yet, if you check out some other news news sources (not the MSM - Fox included) you'll find that many in-home bible studies are being targeted and shut down in areas with high muslim populations.
Answer me this: If it's wrong for a teacher to tell my child about God while in school, why can the same teacher tell my child that God doesn't exist while in school?
@thereprieve I don't think it is right to tell a child that there is no God. I also think it's kinda mean to point out there's no Santa Clause either.
@thereprieve "Answer me this: If it's wrong for a teacher to tell my child about God while in school, why can the same teacher tell my child that God doesn't exist while in school?"
INVALID ARGUMENT GO BACK TO SCHOOL
The teacher is not in school teaching the existence or non-existence of God. The teacher is educating children on the myriad of topics that exist in our society that have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with any sort of religion.
@thereprieve "Answer me this: If it's wrong for a teacher to tell my child about God while in school, why can the same teacher tell my child that God doesn't exist while in school?"
Going back to my time in High School (fairly recently, and in Florida near a fairly redneck town), teachers would actively avoid the subject because of these concerns, because the legal issue seems to be that public schools are not the place for religion. Note: that means telling your child God does/does not exist.
@thereprieve "What about a bible study in the lunchroom?"
Nothing is legally stopping you. I know for a fact that in my High School the lunchroom was used for the Campus Crusade for Christ on almost a daily basis, not to mention the time on the weekends that school grounds (namely the auditorium and/or gymnasium), and the times my religious friends would have their impromptu Bible study outside of class. None of this was illegal because it wasn't taking government funds and promoting religion.
A British Citizen knows more about the founding of America than an American Presidential candidate, therefore, us Americans are a bunch of fucking idiots
@loveofphysics just goes to show you that the GOP agenda of underfunding education in our country is working, and that the more uneducated you are the easier it is to control and manipulate you. Thankfully, not ALL Americans are this ignorant. It is no longer taught in schools to learn how to reason and think for ones self, to read between the lines and lies.
How is it England has a state church, It stays the fuck out of politics. But America claims it has no state religion but Christianity can't stay the fuck out of government?
i can see a strong positiv correlation between the ammount of alcohol in your blood and the quality of your videos.(at least when it comes to entertainment)
I came across this video after it was posted to Facebook by a group called "I bet this turkey can get more fans than NOM." I watched it at approximately 10:30 pm CST, I loved this video so much I started watching your other videos, it's now approximately 2:50 am CST. Unfortunately Rick Perry is my governor. But you are a beacon of light in my otherwise dreary, GOP run existence. Bless your heart.
I just want to say, through all the responses on youtube, I have cumulatively seen the "proud" commercial more times than I have ever seen any commercial, ever. And I am permanently damaged from it. You all suck.
"Americur is not a Christian nation." I'm tearing up and gasping for air! You're hilarious and you make tons more sense drunk than these tw*ts do sober. X-P
Awesome video! You cracked me up, not to mention that this Rick "I'm a homophobe and a bigot and proud of it" Perry has to stop. Enough with Christians controlling other people's lives. Thank you!
I'd been hoping all weekend that you'd do a response video to that, and never had I dreamed it would be another one of your delightfully drunk ones. Next round is on me.
Finally! A presidential candidate with the BALLS to stand up and say "Hey! I believe in the things the people who will vote for me believe in!"
He's NOT ashamed to let EVERYONE know that his position is the same as the majority of the voters in the country. BRA-FUCKIN-VO! What a brave, brave man!
Do more drunk responses! :D

So, while it's not written in the constitution, it's explicitly stated by Jefferson himself that that is what it means.

How is Obama ashamed to be a Christian? :|
He does the whole God bless America shtick every US politician does at the end of their speech. Sure, Obama's not bringing it up constantly like Bush, the (supposedly) born-again Evangelical Christian...but that's because Obama's not a born again fundie Christian. That doesn't make him any less of a Christian though, and it'd be ridiculous to try and claim so.
No document contains the exact phrase, but the intent is conveyed

Question:
It seems to me that, almost invariably, the more loudly a given politician proclaims that he/she is a Christian and would like to implement policies inspired by his/her religious convictions, the more likely they are to be a manipulative, phoney, douchebag who couldn't be less interested in loving their neighbor, turning the other cheek, and other christ-like behavior.
Aren't we better off just going with a secular government instead of rewarding this?

@bowlsallbroken "Aren't we better off just going with a secular government instead of rewarding this? "
Secular governments, historically speaking, don't have much of a track record to run on either. As I said to Latumway, why be ashamed of who you are? We elect you because of who you are, or at minimum, who you pretend to be. Obama had to pretend to be a Christian in order to save votes he likely would have lost if he said he was a muslim or an atheist... or whatever else he may actually be.

@thereprieve
I just love how Obama attended a Christian church (please don't No True Scotsman) regularly for years and people think he's a secret Muslim/Atheist, while McCain was *not* a regular churchgoer and people gave him a free pass on the religious test. I think we all know what this is really about, don't we?
My point is that the intersection of religion and government is all about manipulation and that embracing it won't bring the sincerely religious a "godly State".

@bowlsallbroken - You are either intnetionally misunderstanding me, or playing dumb.. .not sure which.
My wife's best friend has attended a catholic church since she married her catholic husband 10 years ago, but is no more a catholic than you are. Going to church is not a litmus test of one's Christianity. As I've said (repeatedly now) be proud of who you are... don't pretend to be something you're not just to win elections. It speaks of cowardice.

I'll take you're word for it that your wife's friend isn't sincerely Catholic, seeing as *you know her* and all.
Are you personally acquainted with Pres. Obama?
"don't pretend to be something you're not just to win elections. It speaks of cowardice."
I couldn't agree more vehemently! We should apply this standard even to people we otherwise agree with (this goes for both of us).

@bowlsallbroken Kind of like how Obama releases his birth certificate to prove he was born in this country while McCain gets a free pass even though McCain actually was born in another country. He was born in Panama. The irony is palpable.
NimbusDX 2 months ago
@NimbusDX - McCain was born to 2 american citizens serving in the military and the congress reviewed his eligibility before he could run for president. Obama only born to one American parent (who may or may not have lost her citizenship when she married a foreigner), produced very little proof of where he was born, and faced no congressional inquiry. Yes amigo, the irony is palpable.

Well, it's not people asking the questions in regards to Obama that bothers me, it's the insistence on spinning conspiracy yarns in lieu of accepting the real answers to said questions.
Again, I think we know where this is really coming from.

@MATTman101wow - Can I establish my religion in a school? What about a bible study in the lunchroom? Sounds to me like laws have been made against the free exercise and establishment of religion. Before you get ahead of yourself, I'm not arguing that you should be allowed to do either of those things, only pointing out the hypocrisy,
thereprieve 2 months ago
@thereprieve No, and no. Maybe in a private school that allows it, but not in public schools where other children will have differing beliefs from you, and is sponsored by the state which cannot respect any establishment of religion. Also, I was just pointing out the quote that protects your right to have a Bible study, on your own terms, on your own property, or on the property of your religious place of worship. What is wrong with doing Bible study in your own church anyway?
MATTman101wow 2 months ago
@MATTman101wow - Nothing whatsoever. Furthermore I should be permitted to hold a bible study in my own home with fellow believers... yet, if you check out some other news news sources (not the MSM - Fox included) you'll find that many in-home bible studies are being targeted and shut down in areas with high muslim populations.

INVALID ARGUMENT GO BACK TO SCHOOL
The teacher is not in school teaching the existence or non-existence of God. The teacher is educating children on the myriad of topics that exist in our society that have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with any sort of religion.

Going back to my time in High School (fairly recently, and in Florida near a fairly redneck town), teachers would actively avoid the subject because of these concerns, because the legal issue seems to be that public schools are not the place for religion. Note: that means telling your child God does/does not exist.

@thereprieve "What about a bible study in the lunchroom?"
Nothing is legally stopping you. I know for a fact that in my High School the lunchroom was used for the Campus Crusade for Christ on almost a daily basis, not to mention the time on the weekends that school grounds (namely the auditorium and/or gymnasium), and the times my religious friends would have their impromptu Bible study outside of class. None of this was illegal because it wasn't taking government funds and promoting religion.
