Rick Perry's pro-Christmas TV ad is not "anti-gay"

The Drama Queens are apoplectic — Rich Perry is "anti-gay!"

Texas Gov. Rick Perry's newest television ad criticizing the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell …

And the Memeorandum thread screams "Rick Perry's anti-gay Iowa ad!"

Talk about missing the point. He "criticized" Obama's anti-religious policies. He didn't demean homosexuals at all. Here's the ad:

Am I the only guy who heard the word "but?" "But" does not mean "repeal DADT." Really. It doesn't.

…There's something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids can't openly celebrate Christmas…

He's making a comparison — tolerance is for gays, but not applicable to Christians. I guess the liberals don't understand metaphors. And besides, bashing Christianity is pretty much always OK in their book.

I'm with Rick. It's not OK.

You want "tolerance?" Fine. Tolerate some Christmas. We gotta put up with your in-our-face homosexual advocacy 24x7x365. You can look the other way for a few weeks when a Christmas tree goes up in town hall.

As president … I'll fight against liberal attacks on our religious heritage.

Hate to break it to you guys, but that's not an "anti-gay" message.

It's a pro-Christian message. That religious heritage? It's who we are.

California recently mandated that all school curricula include "positive" examples of contributions by gay citizens. Yet the Christianity upon which our nation was founded is buried, hidden, and ridiculed.

Were there gay people who helped shape the America we know and love?

Undoubtedly.

Were their contributions even 1/100th of those made by the legions of pious Christian men who sacrificed all they had to establish a bastion of religious freedom upon these shores?

Probably not.

Now I'm not advocating tyranny of the majority here. There's room enough for all of us, gay and Christian alike. But the homosexuals have to stop asserting that any pro-Christian message is automatically "anti-gay." Because that's nonsense. And demeaning to those of us who actually practice tolerance as it was intended. Live and let live, OK? Is that really so hard?
