Rick, Rattle and Roll
21st August 2011
The New York Times continues its service to the Narrative, and a Voice of the Crust plays ‘good cop’.
He’s got good looks, charisma, experience. So how do you explain his penchant for comments that are, well, a bit out there?
The eternal lefty dilemma. How could such a good-looking, articulate, (dare we say it? ‘clean’) and apparently well-qualified guy not be on the Right Side?
Ben Bernanke’s loose-money policy is “treasonous,” and Texans would “treat him pretty roughly” if he came to their state. Global warming is a hoax. Evolution is just an idea “out there.” Social Security is unconstitutional, and the 16th Amendment, which establishes the grounds for federal income taxes, should be repealed. Are these just the words of a newbie to the national stage? Or the future of the Republican Party?
Questions that only somebody inside the Leftist Urban Bubble could ask. After all, anybody who could pen this sentence…
Remember, this is a state where Ron Paul, who believes that NAFTA is part of a plot to force America into a European Union-style arrangement with Canada and Mexico, is regarded as a statesman.
… is obviously talking out of his ass and the Democrat talking-points book (which may be the same, for all we know). Nobody in Texas, not even Ron Paul supporters, considers him a ‘statesman’; certainly not in the Washington Beltway sense of ‘Republican willing to Play Ball’.
This is what passes for journalism in these degenerate modern times.
Of course, stripped of its yee-haw bluster, Mr. Perry’s comments are not all that different from the sort of positions we’ve heard from Bachmann, Herman Cain or even Mitt Romney.
Hey, Perry’s a Republican! What a surprise!
Indeed, Representative Paul may have the last laugh in more ways than one. As he told a New Hampshire crowd, Rick Perry “makes me sound like a moderate.”
News flash, Clay: The only people who could make Ron Paul sound like a moderate spoke German or Russian, and they’re all dead.

“The only people who could make Ron Paul sound like a moderate spoke German or Russian, and they’re all dead.”
The Russian ones changed their names and are running the EU.

Some of them didn’t even bother to change their names.
