Perry expects to fill the 71,000 seat stadium but only 8,000 people have RSVP'd. This declaration by Perry also could cast a black mark on future campaigns on his stance on separation of church and state.

In April of 2009, Rick Perry met in front of Tea Party members and brought up that Texas could secede from the union, if it ever wanted to. He said it probably will never come to that, but the way Washington keeps thumbing their nose at the American people, who knows what might happen.

James believes being gay is a choice and also punishable by god.
I can assure you I will never ride in a gay parade. And I hear what youre saying, Tom, but leaders our kids out there people need to see examples... I think its a choice, I do... I think that you have to make that choice. But in that case right there, they are going to have to answer to the Lord for their actions. We should not give benefits to those civil unions.

The left is trying to oppress religion and Judeo-Christian values
When you look and see what the left is trying to do in America today, progressives are trying to shutter faith, privatize it, push it out of the public square, oppress people of faith, strip their charitable deductions away from them, trying to weaken them, churches trying to say that anyone who believes in the value of Judeo-Christian principles.

Comparing legalizing gay marriage to the French Revolution
They are taking faith and crushing it. Why? When you marginalize faith in America, when you remove the pillar of God-given rights then whats left is the French Revolution. Whats left is a government that gives you rights. Whats left are no unalienable rights. Whats left is a government that will tell you who you are, what youll do and when youll do it. Whats left in France became the the guillotine.

Perry claims that Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid a Ponzi Scheme
I think every program needs to stand the sunshine of righteous scrutiny. Whether its Social Security, whether its Medicaid, whether its Medicare. Youve got $115 trillion worth of unfunded liability in those three. Theyre bankrupt. Theyre a Ponzi scheme.
