KnightofChrist Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 (edited) Wow cool video, Rick Perry for President. Anybody else remember the two times Bush one liberals treated to seceded and join Canada? Leaving us dumb folk in "Jesus Land", that was funny. The liberals in south Arizona also want to seceded from Arizona. Amusing. Edited June 10, 2011 by KnightofChrist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That also signed that non-binding resolution to withdraw its troops from Iraq? [/quote] I think there was one or two more states maybe Washington, or at least liberal groups claiming to speak for the states. "Jesusland" was a point of mockery for the crazy right wingers the the left is so fond well mocking. Anyone on the right that isn't a RINO is a radical or stupid. IE Perry IE Palin. It's just lame.

Skinzo Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 [quote name='BG45' timestamp='1307725468' post='2252046'] Sorry I was thinking of this video, where he was yelling about never bowing to oppression and being fed up. When actually talking about secession, his voice was back to normal later on in that Tea Party meeting in Austin.. So my apologies. [/quote] He does not actually use the word secession and really does not advocate it: Actual quote: "We've got a great union. There's absolutely no reason to dissolve it. But if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, who knows what may come of that." He later said "I can’t say I was surprised that critics worked so hard to recast my defense of federalism and fiscal discipline into advocacy for secession from the Union. Of course, I have never advocated for secession and never will." http://governor.state.tx.us/news/editorial/12389/ S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Is there video of him talking about secession? ...apparently, or close enough. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/04/16/texas-governor-says-secession-possible/ The Democrats hope that the GOP will field a right-wing candidate. Perry fits the bill nicely. Edited June 22, 2011 by jkaands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePenciledOne Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 (edited) [b][size="2"]Dug up and old status of mine from Facebook thought it was applicable:[/size] [/b] [b][quote][/b] [b][size="2"]Quick word to the Conservatives: You should get your support together for one of the candidates that is strong/unique/free-thinking enough to stand against Obama for the 2012 election. Otherwise, you don't have a chance at all, then again finding those qualities among Conservatives is another shot in the dark too.

BG45 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 [quote name='homeschoolmom' timestamp='1308778989' post='2257405'] Could you please restate this? These words make no sense together, and I'm having trouble making it make sense. [/quote] I think he's asking if anyone remembers when "liberals" threatened to leave the Union over Bush winning and join Canada as a province. As for the Perry thing, yes that video does have secessionist rhetoric even though, as Skinzo points out in his quote, Perry is quick to dismiss it after ominously bringing it up. For anyone wondering, the Supreme Court case [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_v._White"]Texas V. White[/url] in 1869 says Texas may not leave the Union legally. Also the resolution for the [url="http://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/mqd01"]original annexation[/url] of Texas states that Texas may be divided into five separate states (Texas and four others), but does not say it may leave the Union. There was even a [url="http://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/mqd01"]suggestion[/url]of making three states during the annexation, but it was shot down.

I mean, how unintelligent does she sound? Beyond the fact that she is clearly ignorant of basic historical facts, she just SOUNDS dumb. I don't care about her pro-life principles--that's great and all, but you're a dumbie.

[/quote] Met him at the Mises Institute last summer and I am sure his books are great (I got halfway through one of them and was really turned off by his criticism of the popes' understanding of economics-- I get that popes aren't experts, but he wasn't very nice about it imho) but I just get really turned off by his attitude. Nothing against him personally I just prefer to steer clear of his materials out of personal preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
