  • AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- Texas Gov. Rick Perry fired up an anti-tax "tea party" Wednesday with his stance against the federal government and for states' rights as some in his U.S. flag-waving audience shouted, "Secede!"
    :teeth_smile:
    An animated Perry told the crowd at Austin City Hall -- one of three tea parties he was attending across the state -- that officials in Washington have abandoned the country's founding principles of limited government.
    :omg2:
    He said the federal government is strangling Americans with taxation, spending and debt. (bump)

    :sad:
    Don't forget Arizona and New Mexico I am Sure We Would Go With You !!!

  • I heard about Gov Perry on the Glenn Beck radio show the other day, i was really impressed. Maybe hes the real deal i dont know if he his following his heart and not politics (which has no heart only greed and power in my opinion) I would say that he has very good views and wish there was more like him.

    IMO, Steve, he's following politics because he's gonna get challenged by Texas senator Kay Bailey Hutchison in the Republican primary next year for the governorship. I'll vote for Perry before Hutchison though because she ain't nothing but a "country club" GOPer. He ain't much better but I do think he's a touch more conservative than she is.

  • That figures stumpy havent met a politician yet that was worth the powder itd take to blow'em to hell. Thats why when one seems to be fairly sound minded I am even more skeptical of them then the obviously bad ones. Its a shame, these people dont understand that if there lies were truth they would be more successful and more likely to get votes then buying them with false hopes and promises. They lie and pretend there someone there not to get votes, and they get them doing it, wouldnt if be easier to be that person instead of faking it.

  • According to Homeland Security's report, I know at least six or seven people on this board who are "potential terrorist threats", including yours truly. :wink_smile:

  • Feels more like socialism everyday when the patriots are labeled terrorist and the terrorist are labeled patriots. I cant help but feel that the govt just knows that veterans and people with moral convictions are considered dangerous to them due to believing in something more powerful than them (freedom, morality, and dignity), and they want us out of there way to clear the path to full blown socialism. We're already over half there. Its a sorry state and while some say it could be worse and it is in fact worse in other countries. But it could be better and it was better, why give up what we had to settle for less. You could start out with a dollar, someone takes 50 cents, and say well i still have 50 cents. Or you could hang the thief and get the rest back. Its the same difference as saying our nation could be worse amd accepting it, why should we compromise. Hmmm maybe they should keep an eye on me, i sound like a terrorist :teeth_smile:. On another note this terrorism thing has gone way out of hand, any one heard the term terroristic threat? Well for the past few years since 911 we no longer have people just simply mad at someone whether they have it coming or not and threatening to knock there block off if they dont straighten up, now those people are terrorists and it is terroristic threat. So I guess a terrorist is anyone thats willing to fight anyone or anything for any reason, the only people allowed to show agression is the govt.

  • I know there are many here that still have faith in our govt and the people running it. Some who think that this super president coming can save the day. There have been people like that in other countries. They were called dictators very few positively affected a nation. We can talk about elections all we want and who should run and who should win, but it isnt going to happen I dont believe. I am probably considered to be a extremist but i dont see whats going on as anything different than the Nazi party. I dont believe that Hitler had a plan, if he did he would have won the war. Things just fell into place that way over time. They've been trying to take guns, that hasnt been working real well for them, they have gotten into schools teaching manipulated history and stupidfying children with increasing lower standards, and now they are trying to make the good citizens into criminals. I ask myself what comes next. What to do about it i dont know except for wait it out and things will fall inplace for us as well. When the time comes we will all know the answer. In the mean time never accept things for what they are and never give up. We are raised to believe it is wrong to be angry however we have a right to be and the very people that freed us from Kings and Lords did it because they were angry. It is unpatriotic not to be. Until we have unity the conservative, patriot side the fight is hopeless. When things get bad enough people will pull together and forget about themselves and there own personal gain. My last rant on the subject.
