Tony Perkins is a Moron!

[MineralMan]

He's the head of the Family Research Council, a vile dominionist Christian organization. He says many moronic things and revels in publicity for those moronic statements.

And thinking of the Tony Perkins to whom I refer as the character of Norman Bates is not misplaced, either.

4. The term "Moron" was from an old cognitive classification system then became "mild retardation".

That too has been changed to cognitive disability. I prefer "deviant" or "religious nut". Since "Moron" is a second generation archaic term lets be clear we are not discussing persons who score -2 standard deviations on a cognitive test and adaptive behavior. Many such persons with education develop excellent social understanding and are well able to function in society. Religious nuts, dominionist deviants are never able to function well without a major change in their belief system.

6. Indeed, as were "cretin," "imbecile" and "idiot."

Those terms are no longer in use for classifying cognitive disabilities, and have not been in use for some time. Today, they aptly describe Tony Perkins and those of his ilk. They are no longer used as they once were, even in common parlance.

They've moved out of that category from usage and now have different definitions when defined by descriptive dictionaries.

7. Cretinism is an archaic term for chronic hyperthyroidism it too has fallen out of favor.

There are still persons with cognitive disabilities and advocates who are highly offended by the the term "Moron".

Perkins: Separation Of Church And State Helps ISIS

The Family Research Council’s Tony Perkins said today that the separation of church and state in the United States has contributed to the rise of Islamic extremist groups like ISIS, arguing in his radio commentary that ISIS has “filled the void left by secularism.” According to Perkins, American ISIS militants wouldn’t have left the country to fight for the group if only the government had promoted Christianity over other faiths.
