He's the head of the family research council, a conservative christian organization.

He says that Obama is wrong in closing gitmo, and reversing the mexico city policy. This coming from a guy that's supposed to have morals.

How is the US supposed to be a moral beacon for the world if we torture? Torture does not guarantee reliable info. People will say anything if tortured enough. We are supposed to be above that.

How is offering federal funding to foreign countries for family planning unethical? Some woman in a third world country, who's hiv positive and has 4 starving children already should have to have another child because they don't offer abortions?

I'm sorry, but Tony Perkins and the FRC do NOT represent morals and ethics in the US.

Guantanamo is one big moral and ethical problem. Obama is doing the right thing in closing it down. Torture of any person is not acceptable.

FRC is a bunch of religious nuts. Conservative Christians have their own brand of morals. They don't represent me or my morals or ethics.

He does not represent my morals or what I stand for. I'm tired of right wing conservatives feeling that they speak for all of us and that their views on morality alone are those of Americans in general.

Can't he also have an opinion...? Or is that just reserved for the elite ruling class?
