“Our sarcasm could be their goals for tomorrow.”

You can bet on it. I would even dare say it involves
a bit of “re-education”.

IMHO

“Gov. Rick Perry has said in recent days that he may be called to run for president, but he left unspecified Monday just who is making that call.

“There’s a lot of different ways to be called,” Perry said Monday after signing a health-care bill at the Capitol. “My mother may call me for dinner. My friends may call me for something. There are people that are calling from all across this country into either me directly or to people that they know and saying, ‘Man, we wish you would consider doing this.’”

A reporter asked whether that meant there were no religious overtones to his suggestion that he was being called.

“Oh no, no, no, no,” Perry said. “I don’t ever get confused about that I am a man of faith. I don’t make any apologies about my faithfulness. And the fact of the matter is I think anybody who goes through life without having that foundation of faith, I don’t know how they do it. I couldn’t. So the idea that, do I look for signs and do I look for good Scripture that tells me how to live my life? Absolutely I do that.”

....A number of religious groups associated with that event have come under considerable criticism for statements they have made in the past.

....“I’m sure that in elections in the past that have been some groups that have endorsed me publicly that I appreciate their endorsement, but their endorsement of me doesn’t mean I endorse what they believe in or what they say,” Perry said. “So I kind of put this in the same category as that.”
