““Just when you thought Barack Obama couldn’t get any more out of touch with America’s values, AP reports his administration wants to make foreign aid decisions based on gay rights. This administration’s war on traditional American values must stop,” Perry said in the statement. “Promoting special rights for gays in foreign countries is not in America’s interests and not worth a dime of taxpayers’ money.””
Wait a minute, I thought that Rick Perry was opposed to all foreign aid except aid the US provides to Israel.
But, now Rick Perry is saying that he is opposed to Obama’s cutting off of foreign aid to certain nations.
Rick Perry said all countries that receive foreign aid from the U.S. need to show why the United States should give them money. It makes no sense to give foreign aid to countries that are hostile to us, hostile to our allies, or who support our enemies.
>> Wait a minute, I thought that Rick Perry was opposed to all foreign aid except aid the US provides to Israel.
He’s opposed to granting dollars without evidence of reciprocity which he stated includes aid to Israel. He’s made that abundantly clear on the campaign trail.
I suspect you’re not pleased with Perry’s dismissal of the rainbow colored flag used to garner politically correct pity.
