Silly Texas Gov. Rick Perry Pretends to Think Fascism is Socialism

...Gov. Rick Perry had some pretty strong comments about the Obama administration on Wednesday in Midland, saying, "This is an administration hell-bent on taking America towards a socialist country....

What's wrong with Texas?

Is there something in the air or the water?

Texas has offered up this country a moronic President and now they have this idiot Governor, Rick Perry. This guy Perry has made the top 10 Conservative Idiots List. Mainly for having the stupidity of inviting Ted Nugent to celebrate his black tie gala inaugural ball.

".... Using machine guns as props, Nugent, 58, appeared onstage as the final act of the inaugural ball wearing a cutoff T-shirt emblazoned with the Confederate flag and shouting offensive remarks about non-English speakers, according to people who were in attendance...."

But Perry is not just an idiot when it comes to music and good taste. He also likes the idea of Texas seceding from the Union. Or at least he promotes the idea for the political support of Texans that aren't sure just what the Union is but they know they don't like it. Anything to do with cooperation and a more perfect Union smacks of communism to Perry supporting Texans.

But Rick Perry and his Texas supporters think the country is moving toward Socialism. They hate the idea of people having health care.

They don't flinch when the Federal Government gives away over 23 Trillion in financial support to the Welfare Kings on Wall Street. But they will have a Tea Party if their neighbors or even members of their own families are threatened with 'government run' health care.

Well, they don't like government run health care for others, but they love it for themselves in the form of Medicare.

But supposedly Rick Perry doesn't know that a government being run by financial and corporate interests is actually fascism.

Sure the people have a 2 Party System to choose from. But, as everyone should know, the 2 Party System is actually run by the Military Industrial Complex that supports the illusion of choice.

As the American government continues the massive wealth transfer to corporate interests and plans on selling resources and infrastructure to pay for the debt caused by the give-away, morons like Rick Perry pretend that is Socialism.

But is this silly Governor that stupid?

Can anybody with some political power actually believe this nonsense?

I really don't think anyone with some political understanding can be that stupid.

Rick Perry likely wants his 'Tea Bag' public in Texas to believe that their fear should be Socialism so that the good people of Texas never notice who is in control of Texas. The real control of Texas and any other State in the Union belongs to the corporate and financial interests. Those interests obviously also control the Federal Government.
