Ironicaly enough, i would vote for you over rick perry. Anyone who finds anything wrong with gay people, or thinks we should have no freedom from religion should not be our president.
Andy Cobb, I love your satire, your comedy, your parody of Rick Perry's campaign ad. Keep it up and continue to demonstrate how a life long politician like Rick Perry is ruining our political system. Their are many posters who fail to understand this video is a satirical comment on the state of politics in the USA. I surmise they do not have a sense of humor or understand your brilliant political humor. Thanks to Second City for interjecting comedy into a scary Rick Perry.
@MrAsianbadman Monkeys descended from hedgehog like creatures who descended from small rat like creatures who descended from reptiles who descended from amphibians who descended from fish who descended from tiny bits of living cells who were created by a combination of gases, liquids, heat, electricity, and that type of thing in what we call the primordial soup.
(continued) The critical thing to remember in First Amendment cases is that it's the *government* being limited. The Supreme Court ruling that was allegedly "against prayer in schools" actually ruled that the government can't force prayer, can't punish those who don't pray, can't impose a particular religious environment on unwilling people. But when the rights of citizens come up, they are defended. *You* can form religious school clubs and *you* can pray any way you like wherever you like.
I love all these parodies. If you really want to see a satire on the whole religious crap, check out "The God Complex." You can find the trailer here on youtube.
@AVET87 You can pray in school and say the pledge of allegiance. The supreme court only ruled against being forced to do these things, nobody is forcing you not to.
rick perry's the only strong leader who truly sticks to his christian beliefs and i respect him for that. Just to clarify, rick perry does not hate gays nor was he discriminating against gays. He was just saying how our country which was founded on christianity now freely accepts homosexuality but rejects christian beliefs. God said people will hate you for preaching his word and that is exactly what is happening. he is one of the few godly leaders and i hope he stands firm in his beliefs
@TheBurdog123 The puritans came from England, a Protestant country. One of the original meanings of "puritan" was that they wanted to "purify" the Church of England of anything that seemed too similar to Catholic. One famous puritan, Cromwell, killed the king, made it illegal to be Catholic, and tried to rid Scotland and Ireland of Catholicism by attempted genocide. But the puritans' power waned so they left for a land where they could be free to hang members of other sects, such as Quakers.
Half the people commenting can't spell their own damn opinion. Valid points to all the well educated believers that don't know the difference between your and you're.
@ThePhillies19 Yes we are bitter in a sense. Bitter that a large portion of the human species believes in magic, yet they are unable to see the rational basis behind science. WYSWIG, people. I don't need a fictional man in the sky to give me comfort. Why do you?
@shenadoa I'm in total agreement with you. There are branches of the Presbyterian, Methodist, Unitarian, and several other churches that openly accept homosexual into their congregation. I have friends that attend services at these churches, and are openly gay in their congregation. I have one friend that is on the board of a group called Gays In Faith Together (GIFT) that is officially recognized by the Presbyterian church. Personally, I was burned by the church and can't go back.
@cc ricers When a person says that they are God fearing it means that they show respect not that they are afraid of God I hope I said this right. This is what I feel when I say I am God fearing
@shenadoa Easily Google-able. But since that's too hard: James J. Kaufman, v. Gary R. McCaughtry. The Atheism and Religion site on Wikipedia even have this case on there.
@GatekeeperAidan You are right. Very few people realize that saying the word Christmas is actually violating one of the 10 commandments. Many forget one of the 10 commandment which states you "shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain". Wishing marry Christmas, especially to those who do not believe in god, is violating one of the 10 commandment because it is in vain. It is against the 10 commandments to wish marry Christmas...
I already said I don't have all of the answers. I've been in search of something most of my life. I don't understand much of the Bible, it doesn't sink in easily with me. I've had to put lots of effort into understanding what I do. I strive to set an example for my son, one of love and compassion for everyone, regardless of age, race, sex, sexual orientation, religion, etc. That's all I'm trying to do. Christianity seems to be what I'm looking for. After more answers, maybe it's not. Idk yet.
There is a possibility that you will get weaker and wounded if you don't fortify your base. That is why rich people have so many guards and walls with cameras. We in the outskirts are always the first to fall when a city is invaded.
Einstein also said "Religion without science is blind, science without religion is lame." You can't say that all religions are the same. Look into Buddhism, Hinduism, etc. None of those religions incite violence... at all.
@Rumake Absolutely, although I don't think anyone is "less" or "more" than me, we're all equals in my opinion. I'm not sure why people think I'm okay with homophobia, because I'm not. My only point in ALL of this was just to not hate on all Christians for the homophobic opinions of some. Really, that's it!
@MsDaifan You are right and I apologize for grouping all Atheist together. I was doing the same thing as those who judge all Christians as the same . I hope you accept my apology.
If i was a citizen of the US and have 18 years (or 21 years) i will not vote for this guy (rick perry) I mean, he didn't talked about actual strategies to reduce the debt, making more jobs by reducing some power of the big companies so that smaller ones can grow. He decides to talk about religion.
@fabuladeum1 actually Christmas is a christian holiday. the date was set during the council of Nicea where the pagan emperor Constantine influenced christian bishops to change the day jesus way born. same thing with Easter btw
Rick Perry obviously doesn't understand that we don't give a damn whether or not he's ashamed. Quite frankly he should be ashamed to call himself a man
@justicecallicles It was taken out by a group of secret gays. They were gay but told no one got on the council and removed it from the list in 1986. It's still a disorder, even if it's not listed.
@united101usa those studies are from 1982. The CDC just 2 weeks ago released a statement that gay or straight, having more than one sexual partner is what correlates with all the statistics you put up. To put it in perspective, this was not only before youtube, but before the internet. Current statistics, as in 2 weeks ago, are considerably different.
I am a godless heathen, and I approve of this message.
You couldn't find a better coat?
Ironicaly enough, i would vote for you over rick perry. Anyone who finds anything wrong with gay people, or thinks we should have no freedom from religion should not be our president.
I laughed so hard I need to go get another meal. This is brilliant.
I'm a lesbian christian and I approve this message
Hahaha, this is going to piss off the bible thumpers but its true, all they are motivated by is money.
I'm a Christian, not a very religious one but trying, and I find this to be hilarious!
"And God, does not believe in Rick Perry."
Made my day at 6:30 in the morning.
"I'm a godless heathen and I approve this message"
LMAOOOOO!!!! favorite part.
OH MY GOD. It should be mandatory to watch this. SERIOUSLY. You've made my year.
says that politicians shouldn't hate on non believers but then says christians have a "magic spirit guide" wow that's ironic 😬
The fact that this video has better more intense political discussion than most campaign videos I've seen is funny in it's own right.
If only the audio on this were better synched, this video would be a thing of beauty
Thanks for letting me reply to your video with my gay gay-gay gay remix of Rick Perry! =D
''Ive seen his polls and God ... does not believe in Rick Perry'' XD That was my favorite part
This is a much better ad then the actual one.
@ryzo117 love how you post in all caps but still manage to get "Christian" right every time. Epic.
@StateOfTheInitiative - Thank you for sharing that standpoint.
YOU SIR, GET ALL OF THE AWARDS.
You sir, deserve a medal.
Andy Cobb, I love your satire, your comedy, your parody of Rick Perry's campaign ad.

@monody - Thank you for sharing that standpoint.
This is the best parody I have seen so far. This and darkmatter2525's cartoon.
@ShadowGlove84 thank you for being sane and rational.
@MrAsianbadman Monkeys descended from hedgehog like creatures who descended from small rat like creatures who descended from reptiles who descended from amphibians who descended from fish who descended from tiny bits of living cells who were created by a combination of gases, liquids, heat, electricity, and that type of thing in what we call the primordial soup.

@TheAustinandChase 'That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.'
@Speechie2013 I completely agree. I know gay and religious people and they are both some of the nicest people i've ever met. Hate is for dummies.
Well he certainly doesn't have the vote of us Californians.
I love this video. XD Good job!
'Rick perry may believe in god but I've seen the polls and god does not believe in in rick perry' Haha fucking hilarious!
I'm a lesbian, an agnostic (grew up southern baptist) and I love this ad. Makes so much sense.
If you dislike this then you are the reason this video exists.
Poor bastard.... It is truly sad to see someone with so many anger issues and so public with it. God love the man and restore his broken soul....
I checked, and that video is actually against the youtube rules. So I flagged it.
It's OK, Austin. We accept you the way you are, and you can bring your "roommate" to dinner any time.
@FrogWalrus thanks for proving my point
I've forgotten just how much I love this parody. Bwahahahaha!
Best Rick Perry parody I have seen.
I love all these parodies. If you really want to see a satire on the whole religious crap, check out "The God Complex." You can find the trailer here on youtube.
I love you now, always and forever.
@Rumake And so we agree :) It was nice debating with you.
Wow...way cool. Please share!!
I love you! What a great video, I only wish I had thought of it first!
@AVET87
You can pray in school and say the pledge of allegiance. The supreme court only ruled against being forced to do these things, nobody is forcing you not to.
Andy Cobb for president (during some point in the future lol)
@Rumake Haha, yea, I'll get back to you soon. Gotta finish up this project first. Still in the middle of highschool lol.
That's sad when an actual political ad has more dislikes than a parody.
I LOVE THIS!!

I'm a Christian, and I found this not only humorous but factual. Most of it anyway.
This describes me in so many ways.
You are right, my bad. I read it somewhere and answered without checking my facts.
@CentauriAB Congratulation. Same here. I wish you may more to come!
you have my vote
i wish this was on tv.
Half the people commenting can't spell their own damn opinion. Valid points to all the well educated believers that don't know the difference between your and you're.
@Rwings73
What a great comeback.
This. Was awesome. Thank you.
@ThePhillies19 Yes we are bitter in a sense. Bitter that a large portion of the human species believes in magic, yet they are unable to see the rational basis behind science. WYSWIG, people. I don't need a fictional man in the sky to give me comfort. Why do you?
Oh fuck I absolutely love this. And I believe this unironically!
@shenadoa I'm in total agreement with you. There are branches of the Presbyterian, Methodist, Unitarian, and several other churches that openly accept homosexual into their congregation.

@TheSecondCityNetwork I'm a godless commenter and I approve your video.
@StartRenaissance2012 I'm going to wait until I see who runs against him to determine who I vote for. I don't vote against people, I vote for people.
MUCH better than the original.
I'm a christian, but Rick Perry's video made me want to convert.
I'm a godless heathen, and I want this guy to run for president
@laidbackbeau I knew that the Christmas tree was pagan but I did not know exactly where it came from , Thanks for the info
You might be my hero. Forreal.
this guy is my hero...
@cc ricers When a person says that they are God fearing it means that they show respect not that they are afraid of God I hope I said this right. This is what I feel when I say I am God fearing
@TheFanwindow Didn't mean to come off so hard.
I am neither godless nor a heathen...and I HIGHLY approve this message!
@shenadoa Easily Google-able. But since that's too hard: James J. Kaufman, v. Gary R. McCaughtry. The Atheism and Religion site on Wikipedia even have this case on there.
@TheBurdog123 accept you, you are the one that got it right.

FANTASTIC! I would vote for you!
Speaking my mind
I'm a Christian democrat, and I approve this message.

You can't say that all religions are the same.
Look into Buddhism, Hinduism, etc. None of those religions incite violence... at all.
I either want less corruption or more opportunity to participate.

Can you please produce and sell some shirts with the phrase "I'm a godless heathen, and I approve this message"
this video made my life
@MsDaifan You are right and I apologize for grouping all Atheist together. I was doing the same thing as those who judge all Christians as the same . I hope you accept my apology.
*that being said i have no idea what he said in commercial
God damn this is brilliant.
I waved back at you ...
Best parody ever! Take that rick perry!!!
If i was a citizen of the US and have 18 years (or 21 years) i will not vote for this guy (rick perry)
I mean, he didn't talked about actual strategies to reduce the debt, making more jobs by reducing some power of the big companies so that smaller ones can grow. He decides to talk about religion.
I'd vote for him for president over any of the candidates.
@Rumake When did I even mention the word or a synonym for the word facts?
@fabuladeum1 actually Christmas is a christian holiday. the date was set during the council of Nicea where the pagan emperor Constantine influenced christian bishops to change the day jesus way born. same thing with Easter btw
Rick Perry obviously doesn't understand that we don't give a damn whether or not he's ashamed. Quite frankly he should be ashamed to call himself a man
@justicecallicles It was taken out by a group of secret gays. They were gay but told no one got on the council and removed it from the list in 1986. It's still a disorder, even if it's not listed.
I love this video..it's short but pretty funny...
@united101usa those studies are from 1982.

@hereiam2005 Right, because you know him personally.. I forgot about that. How is he doing?
