Rick Perry: I’m Willing To Be Trump’s VP
CNN via Donald J. Trump .com ^ | May 20, 2016 | Jeremy Diamond

Posted on 05/22/2016 2:36:38 AM PDT by GonzoII

Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who once called Donald Trump "a cancer on conservatism," said Friday he would be willing to serve as the presumptive Republican nominee's vice president.

Perry said he will do whatever he can to help Trump -- including joining him on the Republican ticket in November.

"I suspect I'm going to be helping him in a myriad ways -- but if it's the vice presidency, if a cabinet position is where he needs somebody with my experience then I'm not going to go back to Texas and say, 'Aw shucks sir, I'm gonna go fishing.' I'm gonna go serve my country," Perry told CNN backstage at the National Rifle Association's annual meeting.

Perry told Republican donors Wednesday on a conference call hosted by Great America PAC, a pro-Trump group, that he would help Trump any way he could "within reason" and appeared to make his case for the vice presidency -- pointing to his foreign policy and government experience just as he talked up those same qualities as those Trump should look for in selecting a running mate.

Asked Friday whether the vice presidency was "within reason," Perry was blunt: "Of course it is," he said.

Perry says Trumps ‘Offensive’ Remarks Don’t ‘Represent’ the GOP
Breitbart ^ | 07/05/15 | Pam Key / FR Posted by Enlightened1

Sunday on ABC’s “This Week With George Stephanopoulos,” former Texas Governor and Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry said Donald Trump’s remarks about Mexican immigrants being rapist and criminals were “offensive.” “ I was offended by his remarks. Hispanics in America and Texas, from the Alamo to Afghanistan have been extraordinary people, citizens of our country and of our state. They have served nobly and to paint with that broad of a brush, like Donald Trump did, he’s going to have to defend those remarks. I never will. And I will stand up and say those were offensive, which they were.”... more at breitbart.com ...

If he only had a brain.

Then-Gov Perry signs Muslim agreement;establishes first active Sharia Court in US.

Perry receives a serape from Mexican Gov Enrique Martinez,
as a token of appreciation for enacting the Texican Dream Act---
a govt giveaway to illegals.

Subversive Texas Textbooks---distributed nationwide--- vilify conservative groups;
cream puff radicals urge use of police power on conservative groups

Breitbart Texas | 09/10/2014 | Merrill Hope / FR Posted by Rusty0604

In 2006, uber-liberal "Texas Rising" stated its mission: "developing an emerging generation of social justice-minded, informed and engaged leaders is essential to the long-term health of our communities and the development of progressive public policy in Texas."

...a sneak peak at the preliminary Social Studies textbook found including distortions, omissions and half-truths all passing for accurate high school US history...

And there's this gem: "The radical right consists of groups that sometimes gather under the flag of militant anticommunism. Often known as reactionaries, they denounce most forms of government regulation, including progressive taxation and restrictions and industry.

Texas Rising radical name examples of political groups on the radical right: John Birch Society, the National States & Rights party, The Christian Crusade, and the Tea Party movement.

Strangely enough, these cream puff radicals who abhor police power would not hesitate to use government police power to enforce the changes they desire. (Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...

Perry is an idiot. Probably can’t even tie his shoes without preprinted instructions. The only one worse Trump could pick would be Jimmy Carter.

At a 2008 prez debate, then-candidate Gov Perry glowered at Repubs, said
we were "heartless" b/c we opposed govt giveaways to illegals such as
in-state tuition.

===================================================

THEN-GOV PERRY SUCKS UP TO LA RAZA

PERRY SUCKS-UP LIKE NO MAN BEFORE HIM Perry
showered illegals w/tax benefits....including tax dollars to
educate them to overthrow the US govt.

REFERENCE--- Some 10 years back, Texas schools started used Mexican textbooks for their backward illiterate Spanish-speaking students. Texas textbooks advocated the Mexican perspective including:

<><> anti-white, anti-capitalist anti-USA viewpoints;

<><> Mexican textbooks falsified US history,

<><> proselytized blood-thirsty La Raza savagery;

<><> using teaching as brainwashing;

<><> inculcating violent separatist, latino supremacy idealogy.

=============================================

THIRD WORLD INFILTRATION College Board exams changed history answers... revisionist historians developed different answers to the question of what America’s story is about. From their perspective, at the heart of our country’s history—like the history of any other powerful nation—lies the pursuit of empire, of dominion over others. At its core, say the revisionists, America’s history is about our capacity for self-delusion, our endless attempts to justify raw power grabs with pretty fairy-tales about democracy. ....

NOTE WELL: This terrifying Third World revisionism is straight out of Third World textbooks---emphasizing the T/W effort to undermine US ntl security for the coming armed takeover.

The conniving T/W uses an ancient formula going back to Greco-Roman times---where savages, barbarians and thieves overrun a bountiful country lusting after its power and riches.

Texas Muslim---Serial Killer of Christians---on Disability and Food Stamps,
had Diamonds and 200 Credit Cards Hidden on Texas property

Front Page Magazine | 6/20/2014 | Daniel Greenfield / FR Posted by Dqban22

This sort of thing is surprisingly common. The only reason it came to light is because the Texas Muslim settler committed two murders in Texas, one of which he actually got away with.

The murder of Christian believer, Gelareh Bagherzadeh, was reported earlier. Gelareh Bagherzadeh was an Iranian Christian who came to this country only to be murdered by a Muslim because she encouraged his daughter to marry the man she loved.

The Texas Muslim claimed he was too disabled to work. But he wasn't too disabled to kill.

BACKSTORY The Texan, a strict Muslim, was furious when his Jordanian-American daughter married a man without his permission. The Muslim, Ali Mahwood-Awad Irsan, blamed his daughter’s husband, relatives say. They say he also faulted one of her closest friends, 30-year-old Gelareh Bagherzadeh, a Christian convert who widely denounced Islam.

<><> First Christian-believer Bagherzadeh was killed, gunned down outside her parents’ Texas Galleria townhouse complex in January 2012.

<><> Eleven months later, Irsan’s son-in-law died after being shot multiple times in northwest Texas, in the Harris County apartment he shared with his wife.

The Texas Muslim thought he could get away with murdering because he had already gotten away with so many other things in Texas.

Federal authorities executed a search warrant at Irsan’s sprawling, 5-acre property 40 miles north of Houston, where they allegedly found cash, diamonds, pearls, weapons and phony passports hidden in attic rafters, in secret compartments throughout a cluster of trailers and outbuildings and even inside the buried drum of a clothes dryer at the Conroe, Texas property.

The Muslim Irsan, his wife Shmou Ali Alrawabdeh, and another daughter were subsequently arrested on a variety of federal fraud charges and are in federal custody.

A federal criminal complaint detailing the discoveries recounts a saga of nearly 20 years in which the 57-year-old naturalized citizen from Jordan, and his family, allegedly scammed taxpayer disability assistance funds claiming “fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue symptoms,” and “affective disorders” while secreting real estate, vehicles and cash in US and foreign bank accounts.

The complaint also alleges the Muslim Irsan:

<><> was receiving taxpayer funds for a son not living in the US,

<><> maintained several addresses on the property to facilitate various schemes, and,

<><> once disabled a safety feature on a saw then purposefully cut himself to receive a $75,000 settlement.

The Muslim Ali was certainly industrious and entrepreneurial, just not quite in the way amnesty advocates like to claim.

Also found on the property was a makeshift gun range, which witnesses said “five or six Muslim families” frequently visited to fire AK-47s and information about Irsan’s attempts to get a silencer. Nothing to do with Islam I’m sure.

The rest of the scam ...... While there have been no allegations of terrorist ties regarding the Muslim family’s alleged (a) foreign bank accounts, and, (b) suspicious wire transactions, Irsan’s strict adherence to radical Islam may have been a motive in the alleged murders.

Authorities are also re-examining a 1999 case in which Irsan was not indicted after claiming self-defense in the shooting of son-in-law Amjad Alidam, who was married to Nasemah Rachelle Irsan.

And that’s not all. Prosecutors also revealed, in connection to the social security fraud and credit card charges against Irsan, that they found more than 200 credit cards with various names and multiple variations of his own name throughout the Irwin Keel home.

Arresting officers say they also found more than 40 similar credit cards in his wallet the morning he was arrested. His daughter also alleges, among multiple other schemes detailed in court documents, that Ali Irsan purposely disabled the safety device on a Ryobi rotary saw and purposely cut his own foot. Prosecutors say he used that injury to receive a $75,000 settlement from the manufacturer.

I heard a good argument for Rand Paul, though I’ve been somewhat leery of the Pauls. But he would be honey for disaffected BernieBees, for sure.

You mean like all the other hard core Cruz supporters?

Can't fault Rick for backing who he considered the most Conservative option at the time - looks like he can learn - as many of us who originally supported Cruz before deciding we had chosen wrong for a variety of reasons.

I'm only upset with Rick because of the way he boasted about sealing Texas' borders despite the Feds, then backing away and burying the thought....

While it’s better to have him on our side, than against us, it would very wise for Trump to stay clear of him - he is still radioactive to a lot of us.

Your political career is over Rick.

La Raza couldn’t build Atzlan.
Gardasil was a disaster.
Texans refused to sign on to an agreement not to widen our freeways.

Trump isn’t going to resurrect your political career.

Go away.
