Yesterday, the State of Iowa held the 2011 straw poll for the Republican 2012 candidates for President. While Michele Bachmann (one of my favorites for the job), won the poll, Texas Governor Rick Perry (another of my favorites), who announced his candidancy Saturday, but was not an active participant in the straw poll finished sixth, as a "write-in candidate", ahead of supposed front runner Mitt Romney".
Hold on! Wait! Look to the west. It's coming. See all those angry clouds, hail, lightning, tornadoes, and flooding rains gathering. That's the Lame Stream Media's Rick Rerry smear machine on it's way. They are going to do and say anything to demonize him. Why, I wouldn't be surprised if they come out with a story saying he has toxic belly button lint. Just wait and see how he is going to be smeared.
By the way, Perry has been Governor of Texas since 2000 and won reelection in 2002, 2006, and 2010, so you have to assume he's doing something right. Texas has no Corporate or personal income taxes, and has no Inheritence tax. Since the recession technically ended in June of 2009, the State of Texas alone has created 45% of the new jobs created in the United States. Businesses and population are pouring into Texas, which explains why the State has picked up 4 new Congressional seats since the last Census.
Gee, do you think Uncle Barack might learn something from what Perry is doing in Texas. Nah, because that would go entirely against his deliberate plan to turn the United States into a welfare based Socialist country with the Federal Government in charge of as much of our lives as possible and it's subsequent destruction of the private business sectror. He wants central planning from Washington and a dictatorship, if he can figure out to accomplish it.
In Governor Perry's announcement speech he said :
"I will work every day to make Washington, D.C. as inconsequential in your lives as I can, and free our families, small businesses and states from a burdensome and costly federal government so they can create, innovate and succeed. With the help and courage of the American people, we will get our country working again."
That is a very Reaganesque statement that could easily have come right out of the 1980 campaign, when President Carter had the country in a very similar economic mess, and knowing that Governor Perry is a huge State's rights advocate, and a firm believer in the Tenth Amendment, he has my vote if he gets the nomination.

Food for thought:
If a Republican doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one. If a Democrat doesn't like guns, he/she wants all guns outlawed.
If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat. If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he/she wants all meat products banned for everyone.
If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A Democrat wonders who is going to take care of him/her.
If a Republican doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels. Democrats demand that those they don't like be shut down.
If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church. A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.
If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it. A Democrat demands that the rest of us pay for his.
This is Where We're at Right Now
Great ad! And it's only going to get worse if America doesn't wake up and get rid of these big spenders. We don't have the money any more.

Government Out of Control?
Do you think the Goverment might be just a little out of control? Here are some links to some stories of just how ridiculous things are getting. I particularly like the first and the last ones.

Got This From My Lovely Wife
This is one I couldn't pass up. Attributed to Claire Sargent, Arizona: I have no clue as to party affiliation.
"I think it's about time we voted for Senators and Presidents with breasts. After all, we've been voting for boobs long enough."
I'm just sayin'...

Catching Wild Pigs
Got this from a friend of mine -
A chemistry professor in a large college had some exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab the Professor noticed one young man, one of the exchange students, who kept rubbing his back, and stretching as if his back hurt. The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country's government and install a new communist government.
In the midst of his story he looked at the professor and asked a strange question. He asked, 'Do you know how to catch wild pigs?' The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line. The young man said this was no joke. 'You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come everyday to eat the free corn. When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence. They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side. The pigs, who are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat, you slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd. Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity. The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening to America . The government keeps pushing us toward socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare, medicine, drugs, etc.. While we continually lose our freedoms -- just a little at a time. One should always remember: There is no such thing as a free lunch! Also, a politician will never provide a service for you cheaper than you can do it yourself.
If you see that all of this "wonderful government help" is a problem confronting the future of freedom in America, you might want to send this link on to your friends. If you think the free ride is essential to your way of life then you will probably ignore this, but God help you when the gate slams shut!
Keep your eyes on the newly elected politicians who are about to slam the gate on America.
