Rick, honey, gay is here to stay.
And yes, Rick did not listen in Texas history. Sam Houston did not oppose slavery; he opposed secession.
And Rick was also absent from school the day they taught metaphors. There is a big ole hairy difference between oppressing people through slavery and then standing up to keep people oppressed. It’s like saying, “Jesus had the courage to feed the hungry so we should be like Jesus by having the courage not to feed the hungry.”
Y’all, this man wants to be the President. Of the country. Somebody, please, make him read a book. Any book. Mostly, this one.
Thanks to Brian for the heads up.
This man absolutely loves depth . . . as in how far down he can dig himself in.
1He needs to start with the Spot books. I am not sure he even attended school. Any school.
2He was an Aggie. ‘Nuff said?
3Let’s send him an official looking telegram that he’s been elected President of the Maldives. I think if we got the Publishers’ Clearinghouse Prize Patrol to drop it off, along with a one-way ticket, he might fall for it.
4General Sam acted against some trappings of slavery, opposed its spread, and did oppose secession–positions that cost him politically. He did, however, own slaves until his death. So I guess Gov. Perry is similar in that he opposes the lifestyle of gays while sort of practicing some of the behavior himself, as described in Maxey’s book.
5Juanita Jean, I know you’re tryin’ to help, but I really think the Governor oughter start with another title on his readin’ list. Maybe with this one.
6Whoa, would you buy a used car from that man?
7What was that third thingy, again?
8Aren’t we being just a little optimistic here? I mean, having Slick Rick read a book, you’re thinking that he can read something more complicated than, oh, a Richie Rich comic??
But since when has reading and comprehending what you read been a qualification for the guv’norship here in Texas?
9Apparently you folks are unaware of Perry’s hidden agenda. Perry’s repeated assaults on being gay is to discourage Cruz from mustering the courage to come out! Remember, you read it here first.
10Another instance of Perry and his “strategic” games. This one one from his playbook is called the “Fudgepacker Misdirection Play.”
Still waiting to see what corrective action he plans to implement in the wake of the West, Texas, fertilizer plant tragedy. Maybe he should be worrying more about that than the composition of the Boy Scouts.
11Those Repugs sure do have trouble with history: Mark Sanford put the Battle of the Alamo smack dab in the middle of the Civil War. (Sorry, War of Northern Aggression) and Perry gets them mixed up too. These men should not qualify for a job as a Walmart greeter, let alone high office.
12I think the Boy Scouts should keep Ricky away from young boys! There’s nothing good they can learn from him.
13My experience has been that those who rail against Gay people are QUEER ie, people who are still in the closet
14they just don’t care. it’s that simple. whatever, is their motto. but there’s so many of them!
15This is the MOST stupid man on the planet. Close behind is Ted Cruz. I am so sick of these dipsticks!!!
16So where does Ricky stand on the issue of gay slaves?
17He’s just jealous because he has never even been considered for anything other than idiot of the month.
18Rick Perry is the stomach upsetting flavor of every month.
19SO- Who nominated Rick for idiot of the month and didn’t tell me?????
20When I was a chile, my daddy took the Lovera cigar out of his mouth for about 2 seconds one day and gave me some excellent advise, accompanied by sufficient volume that I couldn’t help but generalize. He said “Thu first rule a holes is, when you’re in one, STOP DIGGING.”
Stop digging. Rick.
21@Braxton Braggart: I was sort of thinking maybe Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. He apparently hasn’t ever seen them, either…
22Methinks he doth protest too much, if ya get my drift.
