Comments on: UPDATE II: Republican Thrust And ‘Perry’ (Perry Feels Your Pain, NOT) https://barelyablog.com/republican-thrust-and-perry/ by ilana mercer Wed, 02 Apr 2025 19:29:09 +0000 hourly 1 By: CompassionateFascist https://barelyablog.com/republican-thrust-and-perry/comment-page-1/#comment-20107 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 21:42:29 +0000 http://barelyablog.com/?p=42038#comment-20107 Heidi Klum is a disgusting mudshark. Bar Rafaeli – who did her reverse-aliya to America just in time to avoid a stint in the IDF – is my kind of girl. Rick Perry? A work-in-progress. Yesterday he was asked about Gun Control. RP replied: “use both hands”.

After you have read it once, please re-read and think of: U.S. Federal Government vs State Governments, U.S. Constitution, Rights retained by Citizens, and the fact that the U.S. is a Republic.

Now, of all the candidate debaters, present and over-looked, which one or ones deserve to be heard and to be elected based on being faithful to the ultimate law of the land?

Before 1965, everyone who got sick just DIED … and then LBJ begat Medicare and said “let there be life” and there was life.

Before 1937, everyone who reached 65 just DROPPED DEAD … and then FDR begat Social Security and there was old age.

Before there was food stamps, everyone starved. Before the Department of Education, no one could read. Before the Department of Transportation, everyone walked or crawled.

We just can’t function without the government doing it all for us!

The story goes that young Rick Perry took baths in a galvanized bathtub at his rural home where the nearest post office was miles and miles away. Are those who grow up with modest means obligated to live modest lives? There’s no reason to begrudge him his spoils unless hypocrisy or influence is involved. Is it? Can it be proven? Did he in fact give someone a sweetheart land deal for a pair of cowboy boots? I’m sure intrepid reporters are amply motivated and will find out, and it will merit the same degree of attention that the Tony Rezko deal received.

I’m more interested to know how Rick Perry reconciles calling himself a small, limited government guy while using an executive order to mandate the Gardasil vaccine (with the parental opt out) on girls? How is that limited government behavior, staying out of people’s lives? What’s his thought process on that one? Putting aside how much he **hates** cancer. The real concern should be that as President he’d declare a War on Cancer: SAY NO TO CELL DIVISION!!

(I don’t follow the drunken ramblings of that faux-curmudgeon Jack Cafferty, but I’m sure he’s been all over those man-of-the-people progressives who fly to exotic locales on the public dime for round and after round of golf, while their wives take separate trips with tax subsidized security details in tow. Much of it NOT subsidized by private, wealthy investors. None of which would bother me in the least if we weren’t living in times of austerity where we all needed to sacrifice. And I’d like Cafferty to find out what my rate of return will be on Michelle Obama’s organic garden. I’m paying for their stay in the White House, am I not? Where is my Arugula, Jack Cafferty??)

His cheerleaders in the audience are wearing a little thin even on his fans like myself. You don’t shout “let him die” in the middle of a debate with thousands of american christians (most of whom do not grasp in any way libertarian ideals) watching the debate. In fairness, you could almost see Paul thinking, “shut the hell up” as they blew his moment to explain. Paul, a relatively poor public debater, doesn’t need the Austrian Choir to distract from the message he has to get across to the primary voters. Rein them in Ron!

But, in the middle of this circus, a situation is quickly developing and a question requires an answer:

http://www.jewishworldreview.com/0911/koch091311.php3

What is the legal answer? What is the moral answer? What are the consequences of each answer if different from each other? Do we debate the possible answers or do we act and later debate why that specific answer was taken?

I don’t know who are the immigration experts that you refer to, but perhaps they and the news media either truly do not know about the unlimited quota extraordinary ability visa, or that they intentionally ignore it because it is contrary to their overall immigration and divisive diversity New World Order agenda? However, how is extraordinary ability legally defined? Extraordinary ability at picking crops, or picking pockets? I recently saw on television a story about a Russian circus performer who received a visa and green card because of his extraordinary ability as a circus performer. A giant immigration loophole?

Although I didn’t watch the debate, I did hear that they asked several participants for their view of the Fed…except for Paul. Amazing.

For someone who has written books on the subject and that has devoted much of his political career to exposing this evil institution to be excluded from the discussion is further proof of the media’s attempt to marginalize him.

What a shameful display. If there is justice in the world, CNN will go belly-up and Wolf Blitzer will be looking for work.

In fairness to Ron Hira, myself, unions, etc. – obviously most business owners would love it if their employees: janitors, lawyers, scientists, nurses worked for free – hence using Mexicans, prisoners, Koreans, robots, Martians etc. is in their economic interest. However, that the US Government need not adopt self-defeating policies (such as free tuition to trespassers Rick Perry style) to accommodate profit maximization of plutocrats any more than the US Government should adopt policies (minimum wages and compulsory unionization) to boost salaries.

I’d like to tell you that this “shortage of scientists” is illusory but my phone keeps ringing off the hook with $400,000/year endowed chair offers from Stanford and Harvard!

While idiotic organizations like the National Science Foundation were moaning in the 1980’s about a Ph.D. – “recruit more African Americans …and … Aleutian Islanders”:

Kevin Aylesworth of Naval Research Lab couldn’t find a scientific job and organized the Young Scientists Network with others:

Needless to say, Aylesworth left physics for law but his persistence brought him back so that he himself became a member of the bureaucratic establishment:
