I recently saw this political ad for presidential candidate Rick Perry. This ad really bothers me, not so much that I consider myself more democratic and he's a republican, but this ad seems ultra conservative. It seems to be condemning homosexuals and the freedom of religion, even though our nation was founded on the beliefs that all people were equal, and everyone had the freedom to follow any religion that they choose. If homosexuals want to serve in the military and protect their country they should have every right to do so, without hiding who they truly are. Perry also mentioned that children can't openly celebrate christmas in school. But schools can't force christianity upon students. And in Illinois students are given the moment of silence which is about 20 seconds for students to pray, reflect, or think during school. Also schools don't forbid students from openly celebrating Christmas in school. At DHS students will celebrate christmas if they want, but no one is forcing them to do so. This ad seems to violate the beliefs that this nation was founded upon, even though Perry claims to be fighting for those beliefs.
