My reality needs imagination like a bulb needs a socket. My imagination needs reality like a blind man needs a cane.

HOLY MOLY. I had no idea Rick Perry so so brave, you guys. I have to admit, it would be very interesting to have a Christian President. It’s hard, almost impossible, to imagine what a Christian president would be like. What an interesting nation that would be. Of course, as a professing Christian myself, it’s always nice when I meet someone else who is a Christian, since it’s very rare in this country, so I’M definitely for it, but, alas, the odds of a Christian getting nominated in this America, particularly after President Obama’s devastating War on Religion, are simply beyond possibility. Still, I admire his fortitude. Admittedly, he loses me a little after that. “Gays can’t be in the military because Merry Christmas!” And kids can’t celebrate Christmas in school? I did not go to school myself, so I can’t confirm that we live in a dystopian, 1984-esque nightmare world in which Christmas has been banned, but that does sound plausible.

Mostly, I like how authentic this all comes across. It leaves me feeling very confident that his ad is anything but a half-cocked stab at hitching this fizzling campaign to an Evangelical Gravy Train that can capitalize on the uninformed paranoia that plagues many sectors of American Christianity’s perception of Government. This is just a man with a dream of some day, somehow, living a country where a person is free to be whatever religion he chooses. Way to go, Governor Perry. Way to go, all of us! Can I vote early? Can I vote twice?
