After Rick Perry's Interview

Rick Perry recently made some comments in San Francisco about same sex marriage. He is a conservative Republican. As a result, he was later interviewed by CNBC. Some say he looked bad, I say he handled himself well. I wrote a letter to a news outlet about it. Here it is. "Rick Perry handled the questions well. Do all interviews need to discuss same sex marriage? Are there other items of interest in the political arena? The media is attempting a "forced legitimacy" of same sex marriage. It may happen, but battles lie ahead. The issue has absolutely nothing to do with hatred or intolerance. It has to do with a group of people trying to force an opinion down the throats of those who do not agree with them. Does freedom have anything to do with the equation? The term "tyranny of the majority" is applicable to any side, depending on your point of view. Of course there are those who seek to annihilate an opposing point of view. This looks like war. A great general once said: "In any war, the first casualty is the truth." Another serious casualty is freedom. Please do not compare the civil rights movement with the same sex marriage political movement. It is a political ploy to do so. I am not required to agree with everything that goes on in society. Neither is anyone else. At least not in America."
