Rick Perry Campaigner Thinks Gays Cause Tornadoes
http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/144509/rick-perry-campaigner-thinks-gays-cause-tornadoes/

Sometimes it seems that Republican activists are living in medieval times.

Take, for example, Pam Olsen. Rick Perry just tapped her to join his campaign team in Florida. And according to Right Wing Watch, Olsen, like so many other misguided religious activists, believes that gay inclusion and acceptance leads to natural disasters

Though such claims may make sense to them, the rest of the world — you know, the rational people — understand that gays are not witches or demons but actual people, and that if there is a judgmental God in the heavens, he probably has bigger worries than whether Dick and Tom are tying the knot.

In addition to reminding voters that social conservatives are living in a nightmarish dream world, Olsen also shows us how anti-science Rick Perry actually is: he doesn’t believe in climate change, thinks that a day of prayer can cure drought and is now aligned with a woman who blames gay people, rather than atmospheric pressure, for tornadoes. Next thing you know the presidential candidate will start advocating burning people at the stake.
