Texas Governor: Obama Turning U.S. Into Socialist Nation
“I’ve been such a fool, Vassili. Man will always be a man. There is no new man. We tried so hard to create a society that was equal, where there’d be nothing to envy your neighbour. But there’s always something to envy. A smile, a friendship, something you don’t have and want to appropriate. In
this world, even a Soviet one, there will always be rich and poor. Rich
in gifts, poor in gifts. Rich in love, poor in love.”
-Commisar Danilov, from the 2001 film “Enemy At The Gates”
From Andy Barr on the political news website POLITICO.com yesterday:
Texas GOP Gov. Rick Perry accused President Barack Obama on Wednesday of “punishing” Texas and being “hell-bent” on turning the United States into a socialist country.
Speaking at a luncheon for a Midland County Republican Women’s group, Perry said that “this is an administration hell-bent toward taking American towards a socialist country. And we all don’t need to be afraid to say that because that’s what it is.”
“In not so many words”
In addition to charging the American president with spreading socialism, the Texas governor accused him of punishing the state by turning the “Lone Star State” into an illegal immigrant dumping ground. Barr added:
Perry also accused the Obama administration of intentionally dumping illegal immigrants from other western states in Texas, recalling a conversation he had with local officials notifying him that illegal aliens that were caught in Nogales, Arizona were being dropped off by federal authorities in Presidio, Texas.
“Friday a week ago, I got not a phone call from Washington, not a letter from Washington and as a matter of fact, I don’t think any member of our congressional delegation was even notified. The first time we were contacted was by the superintendent of the school and the county judge of Presidio County,” Perry said.
“They said, ‘do you all know what’s fixin’ to happen?’ I said, ‘well, no. What’s going on?’ They said ‘the government has just called us and said for us to get ready for an influx of illegal aliens who were captured illegally crossing the border.’”
“It’s called the alien transfer-and-exit program,” Perry told the crowd, “trucking them from Nogales, past El Paso down to our western border in Presidio.”

Well then Mr Texas governor why don’t you bring back the great Texas son G W Bush Jr and let him have another go at the country for 8 years. He loves capitalism, the holy-money kind. Bet after 16 years of Bush even Texas might just wanna secede in Union. And become illegal aliens to the old mother country.

Well Einstein, I don’t give a crap about GW, Obama are anyone else! As a 4th generation Texican it would be fine with me if we did bring our guard home from Iraq and Afganistan. Close the borders and sell our natural gas and oil to the highest bidder! Political correctness is going to get it’s ass but off before this is over and the USA is going to go the way of The Old Soviet Union. Okay by me, let all those states who are hell bent on providing everything to everyone even if they are not legal are work and as Crocket said, “you go to hell and I’ll go to Texas”.
