Rick Perry Is Pro-Gun Control

These people make a big show of saying the right thing,
      but their heart isn't in it.
   They act like they're worshiping me,
      but they don't mean it.
   They just use me as a cover
      for teaching whatever suits their fancy."


I,as an American,could never vote for a person that spouted secessionism,even if only as a veiled threat.But,it seemed that there are plenty of people ready and willing to drink the tea tinged Kool-Aid of Texas governor Rick Perry.

Gov. Perry,a career politician,pretends to be anti-Washington big government.He pretends to be all about state rights,but his very actions say otherwise.That he chooses to say one thing and then do another is very telling.One has to ask,why would he choose to mis-lead rather than lead?Does he have a hidden agenda?Sounds very Washington~esque to me.

Of course this is just my opinion.Let's explore shall we?

Gov.Perry is a states rights sort of guy.By definition,this means that he believes that the states should be able to handle their problems on their own without any or little federal government interference.

Then why,we must ask,is Governor Rick Perry so gung ho about changing the United States of America's  Constitution seven times if he is so against the use of these very same federal powers to begin with?I reckon it is either because he feels he is impotent as a state governor to change these positions within his own state,or that he realizes that there is more power at the federal level to enact these changes.He is openly chasing the very power he is rallying against-thus nullifying his own argument.

Some Constitutional amendments have been good.Others not so.Perhaps we should look at these Constitutional changes to see why the governor of the great state of Texas is willing to make these changes:

1. Abolish lifetime tenure for federal judges by amending Article III, Section I of the Constitution.
This amendment is aimed at judges not judging with their mind on the Constitution.Lifetime tenure was created to make the judges less susceptible to outside influences.This meant that they didn't have to worry about re-elections or outside sponsors.They could judge with their minds and hearts-be they liberal or conservative.Evidently,Rick Perry must feel that this goes against individual states say so.This bias would have been very convenient during the civil rights era.Or maybe,even more so during the next close presidential election.On the forefront this looks like a no brainer for state rights...but it's just another federal power grab that makes it just a tad bit easier to steal away state rights.

2. Congress should have the power to override Supreme Court decisions with a two-thirds vote.
Hmm,consolidating federal power into two branches instead of three...I can see how this would evolve into less power at the federal level.

3. Scrap the federal income tax by repealing the Sixteenth Amendment.The plan to scrap the federal income tax sounds appealing until you realize that it benefits mostly the upper class.Taxing the rich became a wartime event.After all,it was their factories benefiting from the wartime production.The government overpays for tanks and guns,you give a little bit of the money back and everyone goes home happy.Alas,these are the old rules.Corporate welfare is the new acceptable greed.CEO's making in half a day what their average employee does in a year should more than make up for what little money the feds want back.It doesn't.If the FIT is leading to serfdom,it's only in the fact the money is now going to everywhere except into the serf's pockets.

4. End the direct election of senators by repealing the Seventeenth Amendment.What?!? Let the serfs have a say?Why they might actually vote in a Democrat!

5. Require the federal government to balance its budget every year.
OK.We start by repealing the tax subsidies(breaks) to the rich and the corporations.That's the way Clinton did it.

6. The federal Constitution should define marriage as between one man and one woman in all 50 states.
Just what the states need...another federal law.Even Jesus was against the union of  religion and government(Give to Caesar what is Caesars,and give to God what is God's---by the way,Jesus paid his tax!) Who is this for anyway?Not only are the majority of Americans now for gay marriages,there are also Christian churches supporting gay unions!So...this is for a limited Christian religious minority?Are all Christians now supposed to bow to the beliefs a just a few?This stinks of the beginnings of a federally run religion.Kennedy said he would not let his Catholicism run his politics.I bet if you put all of our founding fathers in a room to debate their religious views,you never would have gotten them to agree on much except that we are a country of divine providence.A state run religion might work great in Saudi Arabia or Iran,and you can evangelize me all you want.But my house follows The Lord.I don't bow to you.

7. Abortion should be made illegal throughout the country.
Man,Gov.Perry,do you believe in state rights at all?Do you?Yes,we all believe that abortion is murder.States killing innocent men is murder,too.When did you become so squeamish?What type of government do you believe in that forces me to chose an unborn child over the life of my wife?What right does the federal government have in interfering in such a personal  life or death decision ?This is not the U.S.S.R.if you truly believed that abortion was murder,you would preach programs that made sexual education more prominent.But,no.You don't.You try to convert your fellow Americans to your state run religion,and instead of making their tasks easier,you make it harder.

All this leads to is a smoke and mirrors campaign.Mis-leading instead of leading.Mr.governor,in my opinion,you are a Pontius Pilot Christian...Just what is the truth?Anything you want to make it?You are washing your hands of both the truth and justice.All I call say is that your constituents better pack up and hide their guns.Because Republicans used to preach the power of the Constitution in order to protect their guns.Now,Rick Perry wants to gut it for no purposeful reason.He talks gun,but with this many Constitutional amendments,how long can it be before he throws it all away ?How long can we believe that he is anything but anti-gun?You speak with a forked tongue,gov.Perry.You say you are pro-state,all the while trying to push federal law after federal law down our states' throats.You speak like you want us to be free.You actions tell as if you want to enslave us.

You'll never get my vote.

Live Free or Die.

Tea Party Distancing Itself From Michele Bachmann

"They are drinking the cool-aid,"says our unidentified Tea Party source over Michele Bachmann,pictured above,"Sure,we all want Obama out of the White House,but her crass lewdness has just gone on too far."

Asked to explain her comment our source continued,"It's bad enough that she has too eat footlong corndogs in front of our men folk so suggestively,but...going sleeveless?Think of our daughters!

"And,she even danced with her husband in front of God and everyone!This is going too too far."

Another Tea Party source told us,"My husband is always explaining to me that a woman's place is in the home.That she should always obey only her husband.When I questioned him on why we like Michele,he told me to shut up and get him a beer.A woman running for president is just too liberal for me.Next thing you know husbands will be getting their own beers.Then where will we be?"

A third source didn't understand why she just didn't marry Mitt Romney,"She's so hoi polloi.Why doesn't she just marry him?Mormons are allowed to marry more than one wife,right?Wouldn't that be like getting two presidents for the price of one?"

Yet,another source claimed,"I used to believe that the Tea Party stood for something.Michele Bachmann makes me forgot just what that was."

The Hypocritic Party doesn't know whether these sources are loose cannon Tea Party outsiders,comic fodder or something in between.But it does appear that some partyers are distancing themselves from their queen.

An Open Letter To The Tea Party

The Tea Party purports to speak for the average United States citizen.

I don't believe them.

They usually profess in every preamble that ,'The American people want this," or that,"The American people need that."

I don't believe them.

Don't presume to tell me you know what I want.You can say,'most of ', or ,'we believe that' the American people think this way or that.But how dare you imply that that we of the people, by the people, for the people all believe in every single idea that comes out of your mouth.

We don't.

Most of us love our government.We are the government.We love one man,one vote.We love having duly elected officials.We love the benefits of living in a republic.

Don't tell us that we would rather have our government default than raise the debt ceiling.You act like a balanced budget is impossible to achieve through the proper governmental channels. It isn't .The Clinton administration achieved this-to you-seemingly impossible goal beginning in 1994!It balanced the budget!

How?!?

By {gasp} tax increases to the rich.

Thus,when George W.Bush gave his tax subsidies(not,cuts) to the rich,he was -in fact-helping to create the deficit hole which you,the Tea Party,find so impossible for us to get out of.

Even if George W. Bush's intentions with the tax subsidies were honorable,the proof is in the pudding.They didn't work.If they did,would we be here where we are now?Would you,the Tea Party,be fighting so hard to maintain the cuts:AT THE COST OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA RENEGING ON IT'S DEBTS?!?

You see,if you claim to speak for the people,why are you so for renewing a tax subsidy that started this unchecked deficit in the first place?Why are you against getting us out of this hole at the expense of only 2% of the population,and only at the cost of this subsidy's removal?

In fact,Mr. & Mrs.Tea Partier,why are you,instead,willing to recover this debt on the back of 98 % of the people you are presumably speaking up for?Why are you saying that you speak for us when you shout out that unions are costing America jobs?!?Aren't CEO's  making 350 times on average what the average Joe makes?!?Why are you not shouting for them to lower 'their' wages and  hire back hundreds of employees?!?

Why do you that supposedly speak for me,support international businesses interests when they are the ones that have sent our good jobs overseas?Enjoy international tax loopholes,hire lobbyists that try hand over foot to corrupt our congress?

Are you insane?

Are you corrupt?

Are you racist?

How can you purport to speak for the American people when your thinking is so terribly askew?

If you think the government is so devoid of righteousness,why are you clamoring so hard to get in bed with all that's wrong with it?You claim to love God and country,but your rants on how our elected officials can not balance the budget proves-despite that we have done it before-that you believe in neither.

Yes,I do believe you are the new Tea Party.But it is US that you are throwing aboard.
