Just as our new government has redefined a terrorist as someone who
holds conservative views, it needs to redefine a terror state. Clearly
Iran no longer fits the bill. But Texas does.
Governor Rick Perry has betrayed the Lone Star State's terrorist
inclinations by objecting to the federal government's noble efforts to
save us from the perils of liberty. Listen to his radical rhetoric:
I believe that our federal government has become oppressive in its
size, its intrusion into the lives of our citizens, and its
interference with the affairs of our state. That is why I am here
today to express my unwavering support for efforts all across our
country to reaffirm the states’ rights affirmed by the Tenth Amendment
to the U.S. Constitution.
Perry supports the counterprogressive bill HCR 50. From his official
website:
A number of recent federal proposals are not within the scope of
the federal government’s constitutionally designated powers and impede
the states’ right to govern themselves. HCR 50 affirms that Texas
claims sovereignty under the 10th Amendment over all powers not
otherwise granted to the federal government.
It also designates that all compulsory federal legislation that
requires states to comply under threat of civil or criminal penalties,
or that requires states to pass legislation or lose federal funding,
be prohibited or repealed.
Using Nappy's new report as a guide, Perry isn't the only Texan to
qualify as a terrorist — the typical voter does. American Thinker
lists the state's telltale characteristics:
Anti-abortion — check
Pro-Gun — check
Anti-gun control — check
Predominantly Christian — check
Military bases — check
Returning soldiers — check
Against high taxes (no state tax in Texas) — check, check
Anti-illegal immigration — check
Against an overreaching federal government — check
Conservative — check
Extreme right-wing (according to Democratic Party standards) —
check
Understands Article 1, Section 8 — check
Understands the 10th Amendment — check
Rejects federal authority in favor of state or local authority —
check
Texans have made trouble before. Remember the Alamo. Clearly sanctions
are in order.
