Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

TX guv to EU: P#ss off

I’m not a huge fan of TX Governor Rick Perry, especially since he tried mandating a vaccine (even against parental wishes) in a program that would have benefited a former crony’s…er, “associate’s”…current employer. It had “conflict of interest” written all over it. However, I’ve gotten some of that respect back. From the horse’s (spokesdude’s) mouth:

Statement by Robert Black, spokesman for Texas Governor Rick Perry, concerning the European Union’s appeal that Texas enact a moratorium on the death penalty:

“230 years ago, our forefathers fought a war to throw off the yoke of a European monarch and gain the freedom of self-determination. Texans long ago decided that the death penalty is a just and appropriate punishment for the most horrible crimes committed against our citizens. While we respect our friends in Europe, welcome their investment in our state and appreciate their interest in our laws, Texans are doing just fine governing Texas.”

Regardless of whether you agree with Texas’ policies on the death penalty, you gotta like it that the EU was told to go pound sand!

  4. The real reason Rick said that was to PO the hollywood weirdos in hopes that they stay away.
    It seems to work fairly well.

  5. The irony is we think we can run other countries better than they can themselves, but that’s okay because it’s us telling them what to do. O.o Good for Texas though. Fuck the EU when it comes to state policies.

  6. I despise the elitism of so called Progressive Europe!
    How’s about you Europeans shove off and mind your own business!
    I don’t care how the Europeans run their countries like I’d want to live in any of those PC cesspools anyway!

    In fact I don’t like how Europe is self-righteously condemn the US as racist backward and ignorant nation!
    Get off your high horse Europe there is plenty of racism in your own backyard!

    Before you point out the speck in America’s eye how about you remove the plank your own eye first!
