The “so you world agree” oxford debate silliness doesn’t fly. Putting words in my mouth (on my screen?) Isn’t helpful.
The fact they are not fully deployed yet is public record... not something I simply say.
And I have never called this the perfect solution, or even my preferred solution.
What I did say was the original article was rife with lack of actual knowledge on the PC laws and how they apply in this case. So badly so that it makes the entire article, and therefore it’s conclusions, ridiculous.
I also actually promoted a wait and see attitude. Let’s see the results before we declare this a bad idea.
Even if it’s only a baby step... a baby step in the right direction is better than waiting for a federal executive enforcement of the laws as written... because we all know that won’t happen for at least 2.5 treats, if even then.
So you would agree this is Rick Perry in baby steps par excellance.
The Guardsmen are not fully deployed, but assigned to their uniform and a perch, from which they may point and say to the DPS and BP, “They went thatta way!”.
Come ON. This hardly matches the bravado Perry delivered, who left us with an inference of martialing a force with some muscle and authority, capable of taking charge.
I said a couple of days ago it would work just about as well if Perry had just stuffed 1200 scarecrows, hung a uniform on them and planted them in the dirt at the river, like they did in the movie, The Patriot.
Call us when Perry gets serious, please. The dang clock is running out now.
