Tony Perkins, president of the
Christian conservative Family Research Council (FRC), on Monday
predicted a pending collapse of the U.S. economy due to gay rights.
Allowing gay men and lesbians to marry
and serve openly in the military coupled with Obamacare, Perkins
said, will weaken America, which in turn emboldens Russia to convince
other nations to move away from the U.S. Dollar, ruining the U.S.
economy.
“We don't deal with the social
issues,” Perkins
told his radio listeners. “We let this president redefine the
military through pushing the military, forcing the military to
embrace open homosexuality, redefine the definition of marriage,
we’ve weakened our military and he’s pushed his radical health
care policy draining our government of the resources it needs to
perform its constitutionally mandated duties. And so Russia makes a
move.”
“As I’ve talked with General [Jerry
Boykin, FRC’s vice president], the US currency being the world
standard, if that’s taken away, if Russia convinces China and
others to move away from the U.S. Dollar as the international
standard, here’s what happens: America is no longer able to just
print money.”
“See, no other country has been able
to do what we have done in terms of $17 trillion in debt because we
can just monetize the debt; Greece, their financial problem wasn’t
as bad as ours but they couldn’t print more money.”
“We have the benefit – because
everybody uses our standard, our dollar – we’re able to print
more money. But as soon as people start to back away from that and
there’s no confidence in the dollar, this house of cards that has
been built comes tumbling down. So there goes the economy all
because we ignored the morality of the issues of this
administration.”
