A tearful Anita Perry said Thursday that she and her husband, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, had been “brutalized” by fellow Republicans and the news media, and suggested that the attacks were linked to his Christian faith.
Anita Perry said that God had called her husband to run for president and likened the decision to encountering “a burning bush.” She said that God was testing Perry with his current difficulties. ...

“We have been brutalized and beaten up and chewed up in the press to where I need this today,” she told the audience at North Greenville University. “We still feel called. We are being brutalized by our opponents, and our own party. So much of that is, I think they look at him, because of his faith. He is the only true conservative — well, there are some true conservatives. And they’re there for good reasons. And they may feel like God called them, too. But I truly feel like we are here for that purpose.” ...

In an emotional recounting of the Texas governor’s decision to run for president, Anita Perry said the Lord spoke to her before persuading her husband to run.
“God was already speaking to me but he (Rick) didn’t want to hear it,” she told the sympathetic audience. “I said you may not see that burning bush, but there are people seeing that burning bush for you.”
Anita Perry discussed her lifetime of church attendance and credited her late grandfather, a deacon in her Abilene-area church.
“I’ve never told this to anybody before,” she said, fighting back tears and gesturing toward heaven. “My grandfather still speaks to me today.”

Jefferson's Letter to the Danbury Baptists The Final Letter, as Sent
Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church & State.

this is your typical hypocritical far right republican, that does nothing more than impose their moral and cultural _scrupulosity_ on others. ...
