Gov. Rick Perry, R-Texas, who is increasingly emphasizing religion in his appeal to Iowa Christian conservatives, said today that President Obama’s use of foreign aid to promote international gay rights demonstrates that the president “is at war with people of faith.”
This is just the most recent example of an administration at war with people of faith in this country,” Perry said in a statement. “Investing tax dollars promoting a lifestyle many Americans of faith find so deeply objectionable is wrong.”
Perry added that the policy consideration shows that Obama is “out of touch with America’s values.”
He concluded by saying that “President Obama has again mistaken America’s tolerance for different lifestyles with an endorsement of those lifestyles.”
