- “unrepentant globalist shill” not really, he stands up for Texas, While violating the Logan Act making deals at a Bilderberg conference in Turkey? Sic,
"Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both."
Yeah, right, he didn't give a crap about the law when came his big chance to kiss ass to globalist power freaks, the very banksters we're bailing out for their criminal racketeering with our kids' inheritances.
Meanwhile, back home, you WAY understate his past support blanket amnesty. That's a deal breaker, but it's more symptom than cause. The "cause" is that he'll do what it takes to wield power, whether paying off big donors with unconstitutional regulations or travesties such as amnesty, Rick Perry is for Rick Perry, first, last, and always, "Texas" was all talk, a means to an end, just like his loose babble about secession. The man is a user. The answer is "No."

I'm far from defending Perry, but while I partly agree with you, I'd like to point out that in Rick Perry's mind, he never advocated secession.
According to Perry's website, this is his belief in regards to secession:
I can’t say I was surprised that critics worked so hard to recast my defense of federalism and fiscal discipline into advocacy for secession from the Union. Of course, I have never advocated for secession and never will.
My guess is that he was just playing that crowd to win a few points with them. That happens a lot.
