One of Rick Perry’s first acts after being elected agriculture commissioner in 1991 was to create the Texas-Israel Exchange, which promoted information and research sharing.

June 29, 2011: ...."Perry wrote in a letter dated Wednesday, “According to numerous recent media reports, American citizens and organizations, together with a coalition of violent anti-Israeli organizations from other countries, have organized efforts to breach Israel’s Maritime blockade of the Gaza Strip as early as this week.”

He continued, “The act of funding, supporting, organizing and engaging in these efforts appears to constitute participation in a naval expedition against a people with whom the United States is at peace,” as well as material support or resources to a foreign terrorist organization and other violations.

Perry said at least two of the ships are registered in Delaware, including one named “The Audacity of Hope,” which was the title of President Barack Obama’s second book.

The letter concludes, “I respectfully request that the U.S. Department of Justice take immediate steps to investigate, enjoin and bring to justice all parties found to be in violation of U.S. law by their participation in these efforts.” Source

August 24, 2011: How Rick Perry helped stop the Gaza 'freedom flotillas' ….>>>>"I once spoke at a mission that Perry took part in, in Israel," Darshan-Leitner recently told Commentary's Alana Goodman. "And he approached me and said, 'I love what you do. It's amazing what you do. If you ever need help combating Israel's enemies, I'm here to assist.' "

Perry made good on that promise in July, when a cohort of liberal activists boarded a Gaza-bound aid boat with the goal of breaching Israel's maritime blockade of the Gaza strip.<<<…………..

LOOK at the extinct RINO I found.

This animal scratching in the snow for a bite of grass, nicely represents the death of the (now totally ineffectual) term RINO and the RINO brand, clearing the path ahead for a conservative ascendancy led by Rick Perry.

The author of this article, Amil Imani, is a long-time outspoken critic of Islam and, as an Iranian/American, a great deal of depth when it comes to understanding the dangers of Islam and the intent of its adherents to destroy Western civilization. His opinions of Perry re: this matter go along way in answering questions as to where Perry stands.

BTW, as a long time lurker, I remember that Amil Imani was once a Freeper but I can't remember his name on FR or I would give him a courtesy ping.
