Before I began to research Rick Perry's record, I perceived him to be nothing more than a garden variety southern Republican governor, probably conservative, certainly more conservative than his 2010 opponent Kay Bailey Hutchison. But the fact that he had such a spirited challenge from both sides in the GOP primary, both from the moderates AND the Conservatives, made me wonder just how conservative he really was. Just a bit of research revealed the gardasil mandate on preteen girls and their parents (and the cronysim associated with it), his full throated advocacy of open borders, including a pipeline for illegals dubbed the Trans-Texas corridor, his provision of in state tuition to the offspring of illegals, his doubling of the state budget during his tenure and his support in 2008 of the pro-choice social liberal Rudy Giuliani for President. I was not shocked to find he was not a conservative (After all, 49% of the Texas GOP voters, who are overwhelmingly conservative, voted in the primary not to renominate him.) What took me completely by surprise was his great affinity for Islam, the warm words which the Hamas front group CAIR has for him but most significantly of all, the Islamicization of the curriculum in the Texas public schools which the supposedly conservative Governor of Texas has quietly implemented.
Perry, you see, has a cozy relationship with the Aga Khan, the head of the Ismailis, a realtively small sect sect of Shia Islam that reportedly has 15 to 20 million followers. Perry and Khan have confected two cooperation agreements between the state of Texas and Ismaili institutions, the most significant of which is a program, now pervading every Texas public school, to proselytize and to desensitize, schoolchildren about Islam. Dubbed the "Muslim Histories and Culture Project", it really amounts to Islamic propaganda forced upon a captive audience...the malleable youngsters attending Texas public schools.
Up until a few days ago, the Texas school curriculum could be viewed on the SAN ANTONIO INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT's own website:
www.saisd.net/admin/curric/sstudies/mhcp/mhcproject.html
This link has now mysteriously disappeared. I wonder if that has anything to do with the following posting on Pam Gellar's Blog, which exposes the entire enterprise, and which thankfully saved the curriculum abstracts:
Before the link to the San Antonio Independent School District Website was disabled and the website scrubbed, Gellar and company had lifted the curriculum abstracts from it, which show:
"a) High praise for Gov. Perry's collaboration with the Aga Khan, leaving no question about Perry's complicity and active support; and b) A thorough whitewashing of the nature and history of Islam that ignores Islam's bloody history while simultaneously portraying the Crusades as a bloody assault on Islamic soil by Christians."
*******************************
The curriculum abstracts characterize the interaction of Islam and Christianity as follows:
"While Islam "spreads" and "extends," presumably in the same way that dew forms on flower petals, Crusaders "wrest political control of the Holy Land from Muslim rulers, damaging the positive relations that had previously existed." Nowhere is it mentioned that the Crusades were prompted by two crises: (1) the ruthless treatment of Christian pilgrims attempting to see Jerusalem, which was under Muslim control, and (2) Byzantine Emperor Alexius's plea for European knights to help him take back territory that had just been overrun by an invasion of Muslim Turks. "
***********************************************
Also lifted from the now scrubbed website was the following:
"A presentation of the Koran and Muhammad that can only be described as open proselytization for Islam in public schools.
An idealized portrayal of Cordoba's "multicultural" society that minimizes the oppression and political upheaval that took place under Muslim misrule, which largely brought on its own demise through infighting similar to what we see in the Islamic world today. A bizarrely twisted portrayal of the Islamic world that blames Islam's repression of women on Western Colonialism.
A naked advertisement for the Aga Khan and the Ismaili sect of Islam. This is particularly dangerous because the Ismailis are a sect of only about 20 - 30 million people -- approximately 2% of the entire Muslim population and therefore not representative of Islam as a whole. Also, while the Ismailis may portray themselves as relatively modern, they still have an anti-Western historical narrative that portrays the West as colonialist while ignoring Islam's own bloody form of colonialism. In making overtures to build bridges with one small Islamic sect, Gov. Perry has replaced the Western narrative of history with the narrative of 1.5 billion Muslims who see the West as the enemy. AND YES, THEY REALLY DO SEE THE WEST AS THE ENEMY, as this curriculum makes clear."
*******************************
After reading the teacher's abstracts of this Islamic proselytism, which can be seen by scrolling down the link, I was aghast. If any teacher in the public schools dared to even mention Christianity or Judaism, they would be fired. This curriculum mandates far more than a casual mention. It lionizes Islam, papers over its excesses and trashes Christianity, all at the same time. It is doing immense, yet very subtle, harm to the most vulnerable among us...school children. I daresay that most public school parents in Texas are unaware that their children are being brainwashed in such a fashion.
It turns out that Rick Perry, the godfather of the gardasil mandate for preteen girls also subscribes to another mandate... mandatory Islamic proselytization. Both mandates, it should be noted, require no parental consent. This brought to mind the old slogan Jesse Jackson used to use, "We want hope for brains not dope for veins." Apparently, Governor Perry's education platform was "Gardasil for veins; Islamopropaganda for brains". As the writer correctly observes:
If Barack Obama had imposed such a curriculum on schools we'd be calling for his impeachment. Therefore it is unconscionable to look the other way when it comes to Perry.
The best that can be said for Rick Perry in connection with the Perry/Khan curriculum is that he is very naive. In putting across these two odious mandates on public school children in Texas, gardasil and the euphemistically titled "Muslim Histories and Culture Project", Perry has demonstrated either a colossal lack of judgment or a hidden (and darker) agenda, either of which should disqualify him from consideration for the GOP nomination.
Here is an odd thing.
Figure this. If we hate Mexicans up here so darned much why do Americans drop money to go relax in Mexico?
The truth is we like the Mexican people, we just hate them when they are desperate and nasty,and they get that way BECAUSE of the plight the Mexican Government puts them in.
That would solve SOOO many problems. Sure worked well for a long time. It certainly could again.
NO PART OF ISLAM is acceptable in America.
Thank you!
Oh do let me know when the sites up Mesta.
Yes and they’re all multiplying like rabbits in a cage! Watched a video of some of the Texans coverting to Islam today.....and they in turn trying to convert family members and friends. At the rate Muslims are converting Americans who are now pushing ISlam, the Muslims won’t have to do a thing....just sit back and watch the show.....while Americans advance their agenda for them.
It’s laughable how one actually coverts...what’s it take...two sentences in the vestibul of their Islamic center and your in...with a yell out...here’s one! That really happened!
That says it all why you're supporting Perry.
As for the jobs...might want to see if those jobs were more than minimum wage jobs....and why those with advanced skills are still looking.
Ronald Reagan was not running for any office when he switched to Rebuplican so no comparrison there.
As for the business climate....you might want to determine how that came about and who he screwed to accomodate them.
And lets determine who those jobs went to....
Troll this..
You can masturbate all you want over your left-wing push polls.
Nobody draws a crowd like Sarah: and if she even has homosexual activists like Tammy Bruce on board, she has the ability to attract votes from outside her base.
Better go tell your master your trolling FAILED.
Cheers!
I love Mexico as a country/area, but their Govt is absolutely the problem. I told this story a while back on a thread, but it applies here as well.
When I did the motorsports thing back in the late 90s / early 200s, I had the chance to run part of the Baja 1000 course with a good friend of mine from Mex in a high end prerunner/race truck. We came across a bunch of shacks put together from collected wood and tin that were homes to several people out in the middle of nowhere and a looooong way from any town or village on the map.
We come roaring in there in this truck that cost more than any dozen of those people would ever see in their lifetime and shut it down. Out of a shack comes one of, if not the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on with a little boy clinging to her leg. She offered us water and something to eat with a big smile on her face and not a care in the world.
This woman had not a pot to whizz in, nor literally a window to throw it out of. We could have raped and killed her on the spot, and no one would have ever known. But this woman, was willing to offer us what little she had...total strangers who obviously had all the money in the world by comparison. I will go to my grave remembering that simple act of kindness.
The Mexican people, by and large are some of the best people on the planet. But just as you say, their govt. is the problem. I live in an area filled with Americans of Mexican decent. We all get along just fine. I don’t know anyone who “hates Mexicans.” It’s just another propaganda scam that we do the Dems and LaRaza types exploit for power.
As for the illegals themselves, I think a lot of the “hatred” the Dems jin up is propaganda there as well. It’s not hate. We want them to come legally or not at all. Sure some people ‘hate’ them, but there are always that type and they are a miniscule minority.
That’s what pols on the right need to drive home and until they do, the Dems/libs will keep winning the propaganda war.
Edit
“It’s just another propaganda scam that we let the Dems and LaRaza types exploit for power.
I would like to run the baja 500.
I dont know if I could make the 1000 even with the relief riders/drivers
I spent a lot of time on a motorcycle in Ocatillo wells and out in Yuma.
Is spent a lot of time in a VW camper points south of ensenada
AH! a Fellow sand rat!
Anything south of Ensenada is just freaking gorgeous. Putting drug violence aside (if that’s possible) I kinda snicker when people don’t understand why people want to go there. Anyone who has knows why ;) Now of course it’s so bad that it’s courting death, but it used to be a paradise (geographically speaking).
I got to do the San Flip 250 once (99) in a Pro Truck (Scott Stienberger’s Penzoil truck) Just riding shotgun was a few days to recoup. You bike guys must be made of Iron. That’s pure abuse.
It was 20 years ago. I feel it now but I wouldn't trade it for the world
25+ years ago
Personally I think you get beat up more on 4 wheels in that terrain.
In a bike you can pick a line. Sometimes it dont work out
You make the argument from authority.
I resist the temptation to tell you my credentials, and the temptation to shadowbox with an invisible “authority” on the internet.
Rather, I say anyone would be wiser to do their own research and draw their own conclusions.
From your link:
What is required to be an expert is often a matter of great debate.........What one person may take to be a fallacious appeal another person might take to be a well supported line of reasoning. ........
It is important to remember that no person is completely objective............ At the very least, a person will be favorable towards her own views (otherwise she would probably not hold them).
Because of this, some degree of bias must be accepted............ What counts as a significant degree of bias is open to dispute and can vary a great deal.
