Here are a couple of more Perry book quotes just in case the NY Times missed them!

“The statists believe in a powerful, activist central government that advances a radical secular agenda in the name of compassion. They hide behind misguided notions of empathy and push token talking points about fighting for the little guy, all the while empowering the federal government to coercively and blatantly undermine state, local, and self-governance.” pg. 320

“The truth is, I don’t care what party the statist is in. The fact of the matter is, it is the statist, and those who support or enable him, who is the problem. For too long he has undermined this country by empowering the national government at the expense of liberty. An America defined by the statist in Washington is an America doomed to fail.” pg. 338

(both quotes from Perry, Rick; (2010-11-15). Fed Up!: Our Fight to Save America from Washington.

Whose elected officials happen to be the little guys of elected officialdom, come to think of it.
