"No VietCong Ever Called Me Nigger" — Muhammad Ali, 1966


"No VietCong Ever Called Me Nigger" — Muhammad Ali, 1966


With all the hysteria about Rick Perry's gaffs, stupid statements, and ignorance, I have to remind myself that Rick Perry has never called me the N-word nor did he create our $14 Trillion debt. He didn't cause 9% unemployment nor 16% black unemployment. He didn't pass Free Trade Treaties that exported the American middle class. He isn't compromising away Medicare or Medicaid nor cause America's credit downgrade. He didn't pass useless health care reform, and he did start or continue dumb wars. But if one were to watch or read the liberal news, one might think Rick Perry is the reincarnation of George W. Bush or worse - Barack Obama. The truth is Rick Perry is just another idiot Republican selling the same crazy Republicans have been selling for 30 years - tax cuts, deregulation, entitlement cuts... I would love to jump on the Rick Perry "hate bus" but Barack Obama is selling just a little less of the same crazy - tax cuts, deregulation, entitlement cuts... I know Obama is a "Democrat" but his policies mirror those of Rick Perry. Yes, Barack Obama wants to cut defense spending but he can't seem to end his $2 Billion a week Afghan war. Yes, Obama wants to "save" SSI, Medicare, and Medicaid by cutting them. And Obama wants to raise revenue by cutting tax rates for the rich. Why does my spider sense tell me something is wrong?

Democrats and Liberals from Texas may have some valid complaints, but Rick Perry didn't call them the N-word either. Before we spend the next 15 months decrying Rick Perry, why don't we demand the current elected President and Congress do their jobs. If Obama can't persuade the country and/or make a strong case that persuades Republicans to act in the country's best interest, do we really want to re-elect him? And we shouldn't re-elect Democrats and/or Republicans in Congress either. If I remember correctly, it was Democrats and Republicans that created a our $14 Trillion debt, started dumb wars, passed useless health care reform, and exported American jobs. For now, the Carnival Barker/Court Jester, Rick Perry, gets a pass. I'll save my criticism for the serious people with political power that are destroying the American dream. I can't wait for Obama's new jobs plan. If the Republicans had any political savvy, they would pass all of his "detailed plan" (LOL) - infrastructure bank, patent reform, Free Trade treaties, payroll tax cuts, tax reform, and deficit reduction. In the last 2012 Presidential debate after unemployment decreases from 9.1% to 9.0%, the Court Jester should simply ask the brilliant Republican Harvard lawyer, where are the jobs?
