Rick Perry and Texas Sovereignty

Take a listen to Gov. Rick Perry of Texas and his recent remarks about the sovereignty of Texas. He rails against the rights of the federal government vs. states' rights. I like Gov Perry and he has some good points. His prominent use of the 10th amendment is good to see as people may start returning to the Constitution. Maybe it is time to consider moving to Texas (wouldn't be the first time Kathryn and I nearly moved to Texas). Couple of things to remember though -

  • The stimulus package is not affiliated with just one party or the current administration. Many of the current financial crisis roots can be found during Clinton years with the extending of bad mortgages to those who could not afford them, the Bush adminstration's support of deregulation and their two attempts at a stimulus before Barack Obama took office, and the current administration's lack of control with regards to spending. Both Republicans and Democrats have lacked ethics and control when it comes to increasing the size of government.
  • Gov Perry attended the Bilderberg Group conference in Istanbul, Turkey in 2007. That is not a good sign as those who attend that conference are specifically invited and all things discussed there are secret. Don't be surprised to see Gov. Perry's name come up as a presidential candidate in the next 24 months. If it does, you had better believe that the Bilderberg is backing him to some extent.

  1. I fully support a Nelson family move to Texas! Great schools, great housing prices, good weather, (we won't discuss August right now) what else, what else, oh yeah, your COUSIN lives here!
    I liked Rick Perry, he always seemed genuine, and didn't leave me with that icky feeling you sometimes get after hearing politicians speak. I don't like the idea of secret meetings though. Makes me think of secret combinations.

  2. P.S. I just noticed that you are reading Blink. Really fascinating stuff. I finished it about two months ago and Alan, Reed, Dick and I THINK Janet and Cathy even have all read it and really enjoyed it.
