Perry's Problematic Pals

Texas Governor Rick Perry announced Saturday that he is going to seek the Republican nomination for President, and in his speech declaring his candidacy, he sounded great: "we reject this President's unbridled fixation on taking more money out of the wallets and pocketbooks of American families and employers and giving it to a central government," Perry said. "'Spreading the wealth' punishes success while setting America on course to greater dependency on government. Washington's insatiable desire to spend our children's inheritance on failed 'stimulus' plans and other misguided economic theories have given us record debt and left us with far too many unemployed."

Perry promises to fix all that: "We'll create jobs. We'll get America working again. We'll create jobs and we'll build wealth, we'll truly educate and innovate in science, and in technology, engineering and math. We'll create the jobs and the progress needed to get America working again."

Sounds good. But Perry has been sucked into the propaganda vortex, and is now wielding his enormous power to influence changes in the schoolrooms and in the curricula to reflect a sharia compliant version of Islam. He is a friend of the Aga Khan, the multimillionaire head of the Ismailis, a Shi'ite sect of Islam that today proclaims its nonviolence but in ages past was the sect that gave rise to the Assassins. Perry has concluded at least two cooperation agreements between the state of Texas and the Ismailis, including a comprehensive program to feed children in Texas public schools and taqiyya nonsense about how Islam is a religion of peace. Another agreement stipulates that Texas officials will work with the Ismailis in the "fields of education, health sciences, natural disaster preparedness and recovery, culture and the environment." Perry let on that this was all about whitewashing Islam's bloody record...

And yet he supported TARP and the raising of the debt ceiling by $2.4 TRILLION dollars.

Oh, Perry’s their guy. There’s no longer any doubt about that.

He also favored the ridiculous stimulus bill.

PERRY SOUNDS GOOD: " We'll get America working again. We'll create jobs and we'll build wealth, we'll truly educate and innovate in science, and in technology, engineering and math. We'll create the jobs and the progress needed to get America working again."

But In Texas, Perry is wielding his enormous power to influence changes in the schoolrooms and in the curricula to reflect a sharia compliant version of Islam.

Perry subtly indicated that all this was about whitewashing Islam's bloody record...

COZY WITH MUSLIMS

30 October 2009
Rick Perry, the Mosque, and his agreement with Muslims
Published in The Ismali

Austin, Texas — At the invitation of Texas State Governor Rick Perry, Mawlana Hazar Imam traveled to Austin yesterday to sign an Agreement of Cooperation between the State of Texas and the Ismaili Imamat. During the visit, Hazar Imam and Governor Perry also held talks at the State Capitol on a range of issues of mutual interest. Describing the importance of the agreement, Governor Perry explained that “traditional Western education speaks little of the influence of Muslim scientists, scholars, throughout history, and for that matter the cultural treasures that stand today in testament to their wisdom.”

DOING BUSINESS W/ THE CHINESE----UNDERMINING US NTL SECURITY INTERESTS

Perry focused on the Chinese companies ability to create jobs in Texas........while national security experts concluded that the global telecom giant poses a potential cyber-security risk to the US military and US businesses. Three times since 2008, a US government security panel has blocked Huawei from acquiring or partnering with US companies because of concerns that secrets could be leaked to China’s government or its military.

Perry is romney lite

And yet he supported TARP and the raising of the debt ceiling by $2.4 TRILLION dollars.

I read that letter, and it makes no mention of TARP. He called for action to be taken, but made no mention of TARP. That reporter in your link took a lot of liberty in the context of that letter.

Regarding the debt ceiling plan that just passed, Perry came out and said he was against it. He supported cut/cap/balance.

Perry promises to fix all that (speaking about debt and un-employment: “We’ll create jobs. We’ll get America working again. We’ll create jobs and we’ll build wealth, we’ll truly educate and innovate in science, and in technology, engineering and math. We’ll create the jobs and the progress needed to get America working again.”...The first clause of the first sentence and the last sentence are bothersome, creation of jobs by government is a statist viewpoint. The second sentence bothers me, sounds like a central government mandate to schools. The quote reeks of government control and management. I don’t know if he mispoke or if he truly believes what it would appear he believes by these statements or if these quotes were pulled out of context in order to make him look like a statist. But in this quote he is speaking like a BIG GOVERNMENT republican.

Apparently he's OK with imposing heavily subsidized wind energy on us. After all, why build manufacturing facilities if you didn't intend to sell their product

Just last year, nearly $3 billion worth of wind-powered electric generators were installed, twice as much as any other state. This addition of more than 1,600 megawatts of capacity bumped up our total wind capacity by 59 percent. And the hits keep on coming. For example, this afternoon, one of the world's largest manufacturers of alternative energy equipment is announcing a new research facility here in Houston. And I recently got word that Hill Country Wind Power has acquired the Wind Turbine Company and is moving their manufacturing operations from Bellevue, Washington to the Lone Star state. With progress like this, I am confident we'll hit the next milestone, 10,000 megawatts, or 10% of our current capacity, well before the deadline in 2025.

The first clause of the first sentence and the last sentence are bothersome, creation of jobs by government is a statist viewpoint.

He's not talking about the federal government "creating" the jobs. He's talking about taking the boot off of the throat of businesses and providing an atmosphere where they can expand, i.e, lowing the tax rates and scrapping Obamacare. He is very much a 10th Amendment candidate, and doesn't want DC choking the life out of the American enterprise.

When a guy is cheering as a team drives towards the goal line it isn’t unreasonable to figure he supports them. The defense of Perry on this is ridiculous.

I am looking long and hard at Perry as to Presidential timber. I like what I see so far and I know that many here on FREEP are willing to tear him down fair or unfair. However, I would like to know more about any associations he has with fifth columnists. It’s a fair question that needs to be explored further. Grover Norquist has relationships to just about every big wig Republican. Not just Perry. I am disturbed by some of the things I’ve read about Perry and his Muslim associations. I would like to know more.

“Perry is romney lite”

Not even Romney palled around with Islamists.

I have the utmost respect for patriot Pamela Geller. Her researced, informative column must be read and I have bookmarked it.

I hope you are right, but how do you know that? It seems in the next sentence that he is suggesting more government involvement and mandates in education.
