Rick Perry Calls Donald Trump The Chosen One Sent By God To Rule Over Us

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/rick-perry-donald-trump-the-chosen-one_n_5ddbbb9ee4b0913e6f6fc1a8

Departing Secretary of Energy Rick Perry praised President Donald Trump to the heavens on Sunday.

In an interview clip shown on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends,” Perry told Ed Henry that the president was “the chosen one” sent by God to rule over America. The former Texas governor and Republican presidential rival of Trump used Old Testament kings to make his point.

But the one who chose it would be more like his Satanic Majesty.

Well, there is more of that theocratic treason from the Evangelical Right.

In America, we HAVE NO RULERS and WILL NOT ACCEPT any, ever. We have public servants who are supposed to do their duty to the best of their ability and work for the benefit of all people without prejudice under the auspices of our Constitution.

We will fight for the separation of church and state and resist the Fascist merging of corporations and state as well. Both are contrary and destructive to our democracy as a whole and to all citizens. Theocracy is treason to our union. Fascism is a cancer that needs treatment.

Go away Rick, you are sounding very anti-American.

perfect way to refer to the Chosen One himself. Might even get a few of them to rethink who they blindly follow.

Is he singing psalms to the devil who rips babies out of the arms of their parents? Is Perry praising a cruel demon who berates Gold Star families and insults the bereaved parents, the grieving widows and children of men who were killed in action?

Does Perry's God praise the misogynist who assaults women and treats them as second class citizens? What sort of God lies and proudly wallows in ignorance while selling out our country?

.........but the "god's on my side" thing is a really dangerous thought process.

Starts off as "I/he would not be the leader if god didn't want me to be. So god chose me to be leader".

From that point, it's quite logical to think "If god didn't want me to (insert abhorrent action here), he wouldn't have made me/allowed me to be leader".

Need any proof of this? Check out any authentic nazi army belt buckle. "gott mit uns" = "god is with us".

Don't forget Perry wears those glasses now so he looks smarter. That doesn't make him smarter.
