Rick Perry, the governor of Texas, believes that climate change is a "contrived, phony mess." The federal income tax was the "great milestone on the road to serfdom." And the Boy Scouts of America are under attack by "a radical homosexual movement."
Mr. Perry also thinks that senators should be chosen by legislatures, not the people. And he says that Social Security, the retirement program for the nation's elderly, is a "failure" enacted during a power grab called the New Deal and is "something we have been forced to accept."
When it comes to health care, Mr. Perry writes that President Obama's legislation on the subject was "the closest this country has ever come to outright socialism," largely ignoring the fact that Mr. Obama's plan relies heavily on existing private insurance companies, doctors and drug manufacturers.

Perry Ping
What a coincidence. I believe these same things. Weird.
Uh...........and SO???
Everything he stated was the bare naked TRUTH!!!
The more the left tries to slime him, the more he looks like the GENUINE thing!!!
THANK you New York Times for CONVINCING me he is the RIGHT MAN.
Meanwhile Chris Wallace, Kraphammer and most of the other Jabbernuts on FOX News are still shilling for Mitty or Chris Christie.
The more the NY Slimes hates him, the more I like him.
The more “controversial” things I hear about him, the more I like him. I just may vote for him.
Now if somebody can just get him to RENOUNCE his Leftwingtard Insanities before Obama cuts his legs off at the knees on the same issues. Remember, Barack voted "present" on so terribly many things, or had "schedule conflicts" so he's just not recorded on a lot of it.
Or, he voted "yes" but his side lost.
Perry's problem is he sponsored the stuff; got it approved in the legislature; and he signed it. Barry didn't.
It's coming.
hmmmm...Perry sounds pretty good...lol
I was once a liberal. Reformed liberals are “worse” than reformed smokers. Ted Nugent loves Rick Perry. My thinking was muddled until I heard that.
Well, he will open up all the borders and foist Perrycare on the entire USA /s
Right! Somebody is going to have to pay for the freebies for Barry's Freeloaders. However, private insurance companies will be toast rather quickly. Doctors will all retire or go somewhere else. The drug manufacturers will all be gone.
meanwhile, all the racist, anti-American views from obama in his books are applauded by the criminal liberal media...
I had my doubts about Perry but this article makes me feel better about him.
And the Boy Scouts of America are under attack by “a radical homosexual movement.”
That one is easy to prove
Lawsuits are recorded as is who is behind them
News articles can be retrieved.
He was NEVER a liberal.
He was a Blue Dog Democrat like Zell Miller before his party took a left to loony land.
Rick Perry believes that claims of MAN MADE climate change are a "contrived, phony mess."
Rick Perry and I both believe in "climate change". The climate changes every day. The phenomenon is called "weather".
No doubt most of these shocking “statements” are masterfully taken out of context by skilled propagandists.
I’m confused...is the NYT doing a hatchet job or an endorsement?
so where’s the bad news????
