If there was any doubt that the religious right is, at bottom, anti-American, Tony Perkins proved it yesterday. On yesterday's edition of Today's Issues on American Family Radio, Perkins said that those who favor separation of church and state are "cultural terrorists."
Perkins: It’s still ok to pray before a football game, it’s still ok to stand for the American flag, it’s still ok to be an American, yes, it’s tea party country, it’s people that love this country, it’s people that send their sons and daughters to fight for these liberals who enjoy all the liberties and the freedoms but won’t lift a finger to protect it and they want to come down here and intimidate these folks. And the school board’s strapped for money, don’t want to take on these expensive cases to defend themselves with these out of town, carpet bagging lawyers.
Wildmon: You preach it brother.
…
Perkins: That’s what these groups are banking on, because in these financially difficult times, administrators wanting to be prudent, some of them not having enough backbone, will say, ‘ah we shouldn’t challenge this let’s just give in and appease them.’
I like President Reagan’s view, we don’t negotiate with terrorists. These are cultural terrorists.
Riiiight. So I guess James Madison, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin were terrorists, huh?
