SPEAKING OF FUNDIES

Gov. Rick "Good Hair" Perry is just as wacked as Michele Bachmann.
Gov. Perry: Economic Crisis Is Part of God’s Plan To Return Us To Biblical Principles

Kyle Mantyla of Right Wing Watch digs up this gem of an interview from May in which the governor sheds some light on his motivations. During an appearance on James Robison’s Life Today television program, Perry says he sees a silver lining to the devastating recession that has cost millions of families their jobs, homes, and livelihoods: it will return America to “Biblical principles” and free us from the slavery of big government:

PERRY: I think in America from time to time we have to go through some difficult times — and I think we’re going through those difficult economic times for a purpose, to bring us back to those Biblical principles of you know, you don’t spend all the money. You work hard for those six years and you put up that seventh year in the warehouse to take you through the hard times. And not spending all of our money. Not asking for Pharaoh to give everything to everybody and to take care of folks because at the end of the day, it’s slavery. We become slaves to government.

from Perry's entry on wiki

"While visiting Israel in August 2009, Perry gave an interview to the Jerusalem Post in which he affirmed his support for Israel from his religious background, "I'm a big believer that this country was given to the people of Israel a long time ago, by God, and that's ordained."[44]

Unlike Ron Paul's, Perry's "small government" will not reduce taxpayer largesse financing wars for Israel and the Empire's intrusions in the Islamic world by one penny.
