Prayer Time With Perry

Herman Pizza-man Cain will flub this one for sure, and push all the evangelical Christians back over to my side again. The whole secret of dealing with foreigners is stated plainly in the scriptures. Open your Bibles, please. Alliances and covenants (treaties) with pagan or ungodly nations are clearly forbidden: See Exod. 23:32; Exod. 34:12-16; Deut. 7:2-4; Judges 2:2-3; Ezra 9:12; even Psa. 106:34-36.
You’d be hard pressed to find a nation that’s NOT idolatrous, even your NATO countries. Treaties with God’s favorite nation Israel, of course, are fine. But we must be wary, since that country, some say, is filled with millions of unbelieving Jews. So it looks like we’ll be acting uni…uni-laterly…er, anyway, we’ll be going it alone. It’s the American way. It’s the Texas way. And, it’s scriptural.
