Rick Perry's "Strong"
If you're a frequent YouTuber, you may have already seen the video "Strong". Strong is a campaign ad for Rick Perry, a potential GOP candidate for the 2012 elections. It's gone viral, with over 7 million views at the time of this post. In the video Rick Perry goes from topic to topic that seemingly share no connection. At first he says that he's "not ashamed to admit" he's a good Christian. Then he says there's something wrong with our country when gays can openly serve in the military, but kids can't celebrate Christmas in school. Um, I'm pretty sure I'm allowed to celebrate Christmas in school. Yes, the schools want to be sensitive to every culture and every religion (that's the only way to prevent possible lawsuits) but last I checked I was still allowed to wish my classmates a Merry Christmas. As for the issue about gays in the military, you'd think Rick Perry would want as many people as possible to serve our country so he doesn't have to. Then he goes on to say we need to stop "Obama's war on religion". For the last freaking time, Obama is a CHRISTIAN. Having Hussein as a middle name doesn't make you a Muslim, and being Muslim does not make you a threat to our country or to Christian values. On the bright side, there has been some absolutely hilarious parodies done of Strong. So please Rick Perry, make sure you know what you're talking about BEFORE you decide to voice your opinions on the world wide web. It's called world wide for a reason.
