I wish that were true. A large number of state-”educated” idiots continue to believe this mantra and unfortunately cast votes.

Is Rick Perry dumb?

Let’s see....hmmmmm.

Why don’t we compare Perry’s school records with Little Stevie Dunhams!

Perry is dumb and crazy. Just the talking points handed down to the MSM from the DNC. This will be the dirtiest election in American history.

Another Texas governor who drops his “g’s” and scorns elites

LOL! Of course the Corporate Media is going to "attack" Ricardo on nonsense like this. It gives Perry street cred in the eyes of naive conservatives. You'll never see the Corporate Media bring up serious issues like this:

"Gore almost didn’t graduate from Yale."

In fact he didn't graduate from Yale. He graduated from Harvard. And then proceeded to flunk out of divinity school.

Olde Johnny M is a huge Obot and dedicated journOlist.
JOhnny M was seen skipping, chanting , and celebrating at the Denver Messiah event in 2008.
In fact, his behavior was so over the top in Denver , that Hugh Hewitt asked a fellow Leftico Dem operative/journolist about it on the air !
John was previously a Compost Dem operative who trashed Bush, Cheney and did a real number on Senator Allen of VA. He is 100 % Dem -Soros media slime and a huge Liar and a real jackass in person as well.

"Liberals" definitely are pathological. They live in a paradigm that is a delusion. It is not only pathological, but it is also very dangerous.

However, projection is not necessarily pathological. It can be. Paranoia is an extreme and pathological example of it.

It can also be healthy. It's commonplace, and we all do it.

Projection is what children do when they see love in a stuffed animal. They're projecting their own feelings onto an inanimate object.

Projection can be healthy. It is partly responsible for the positive feelings that we have for other people, including children, and for animals.

Projection is the psychological mechanism behind pareidolia, i.e. seeing animals, faces, maps, etc. in clouds et al.

IN FACT--the maya, i.e. the world that we see, hear, feel, smell, and taste, is an illusion, an example of pareidolia, projected onto an energy field, and we are part of it.

Perry HAS to be dumb, he didn’t go to Harvard and Yale. No wait, Bush was dumb too and he went to Harvard AND Yale. This is all so confusing.

Hmmmm ..?? I thought they both attended Yale - Oh I know what it was .. Gore tried to attend Yale Law School - and he flunked out. And .. then he “withdrew” from divinity school.

Okay - I got it straight now.

Thanks

“...I think this is a pretty good article. Asks a question that people are asking, then gives a nuanced and believable answer.”

Personally, I am ever so WEARY of *nuance.* I much prefer the plain talk of Gov. Perry. By the way, this constant talk of “dropping g’s, etc.” demonstrates nothing less than linguistic ignorance.

In the long run, the article is balanced.....though the implications regarding Perry’s intelligence/knowledge base remain. He does make the case that Gov. Perry understands how to listen and use the assistance of intelligent advisors. To me, this means the guy has good common sense......a quality that is increasingly lacking in Democrat circles.

After reading all of this, I do have to wonder....if this article reveals the growing disenchantment with Obama?

I’ve never thought of “projection” as being a state of projecting your love upon another person or thing.

I’ve only witnessed “projection” as the envy of another person’s life style, intellect, personality, etc. This type of envy demands that they somehow make themselves look better than the other guy by putting down the other guy, and by telling lies about the other guy.

From that envy there is the sometimes unconsious effort to “project” negative statements about the other person. The negative comes from their inadequate feelings about themselves; or that no one appreciates them.

In other words, the projectee want the other person to be disregarded or disrespected, or reprimanded for doing things (that the other person never did), in order to cover for what the projectee is doing.

The goal may be to cause mistrust - because the Projectee is already untrustworthy themselves; maybe even a liar most of the time.

Having lived with a person who constantly accused me of doing wrong - cheating on my spouse - when in reality, it was the spouse who was already doing the cheating. And yes, it was because of a pronounced paranoia.

Interesting discussion.

Have to go now and get ready for work.

From what was historically designed to be a weak governorship, Perry has bent state government entirely to his will over a decade in office. He dominates the legislature, has effectively taken over the Texas’s expansive public university system and is relentless in his search for conquest.

I recommend everyone go to the link and read.

Democrats are dumb and do a lot of projecting. No, Rick Perry is not dumb. Barak H. Obama is dumb.

Every good executive surrounds himself with good people and lets them do their jobs. The presidency has gotten so big today that one man/woman can not do it all by themselves. We saw what happens with a micro-manager like Carter, and now we are being governed by an inexperienced, unqualified man who surrounds himself with other lost balls, who does nothing personally but give speeches and lets the country run itself. Give me a good executive who can pick good people and who will listen to their counsel and then make his own decisions anytime.

I’d vote for RP just for being a fighter pilot although Palin could change my vote.

Straight from the leftist groupthink template:

IV Thou shalt reinforce stereotyped views of enemy leaders as too evil to warrant genuine attempts to negotiate, or as too weak and stupid to counter whatever risky attempts are made to defeat their purpose
