Before I began to research Rick Perry's record, I perceived him to be nothing more than a garden variety southern Republican governor, probably conservative, certainly more conservative than his 2010 opponent Kay Bailey Hutchison. But the fact that he had such a spirited challenge from both sides in the GOP primary, both from the moderates AND the Conservatives, made me wonder just how conservative he really was. Just a bit of research revealed the gardasil mandate on preteen girls and their parents (and the cronysim associated with it), his full throated advocacy of open borders, including a pipeline for illegals dubbed the Trans-Texas corridor, his provision of in state tuition to the offspring of illegals, his doubling of the state budget during his tenure and his support in 2008 of the pro-choice social liberal Rudy Giuliani for President. I was not shocked to find he was not a conservative (After all, 49% of the Texas GOP voters, who are overwhelmingly conservative, voted in the primary not to renominate him.) What took me completely by surprise was his great affinity for Islam, the warm words which the Hamas front group CAIR has for him but most significantly of all, the Islamicization of the curriculum in the Texas public schools which the supposedly conservative Governor of Texas has quietly implemented.
Perry, you see, has a cozy relationship with the Aga Khan, the head of the Ismailis, a realtively small sect sect of Shia Islam that reportedly has 15 to 20 million followers. Perry and Khan have confected two cooperation agreements between the state of Texas and Ismaili institutions, the most significant of which is a program, now pervading every Texas public school, to proselytize and to desensitize, schoolchildren about Islam. Dubbed the "Muslim Histories and Culture Project", it really amounts to Islamic propaganda forced upon a captive audience...the malleable youngsters attending Texas public schools.
Up until a few days ago, the Texas school curriculum could be viewed on the SAN ANTONIO INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT's own website:
www.saisd.net/admin/curric/sstudies/mhcp/mhcproject.html
This link has now mysteriously disappeared. I wonder if that has anything to do with the following posting on Pam Gellar's Blog, which exposes the entire enterprise, and which thankfully saved the curriculum abstracts:
Before the link to the San Antonio Independent School District Website was disabled and the website scrubbed, Gellar and company had lifted the curriculum abstracts from it, which show:
"a) High praise for Gov. Perry's collaboration with the Aga Khan, leaving no question about Perry's complicity and active support; and b) A thorough whitewashing of the nature and history of Islam that ignores Islam's bloody history while simultaneously portraying the Crusades as a bloody assault on Islamic soil by Christians."
*******************************
The curriculum abstracts characterize the interaction of Islam and Christianity as follows:
"While Islam "spreads" and "extends," presumably in the same way that dew forms on flower petals, Crusaders "wrest political control of the Holy Land from Muslim rulers, damaging the positive relations that had previously existed." Nowhere is it mentioned that the Crusades were prompted by two crises: (1) the ruthless treatment of Christian pilgrims attempting to see Jerusalem, which was under Muslim control, and (2) Byzantine Emperor Alexius's plea for European knights to help him take back territory that had just been overrun by an invasion of Muslim Turks. "
***********************************************
Also lifted from the now scrubbed website was the following:
"A presentation of the Koran and Muhammad that can only be described as open proselytization for Islam in public schools.
An idealized portrayal of Cordoba's "multicultural" society that minimizes the oppression and political upheaval that took place under Muslim misrule, which largely brought on its own demise through infighting similar to what we see in the Islamic world today. A bizarrely twisted portrayal of the Islamic world that blames Islam's repression of women on Western Colonialism.
A naked advertisement for the Aga Khan and the Ismaili sect of Islam. This is particularly dangerous because the Ismailis are a sect of only about 20 - 30 million people -- approximately 2% of the entire Muslim population and therefore not representative of Islam as a whole. Also, while the Ismailis may portray themselves as relatively modern, they still have an anti-Western historical narrative that portrays the West as colonialist while ignoring Islam's own bloody form of colonialism. In making overtures to build bridges with one small Islamic sect, Gov. Perry has replaced the Western narrative of history with the narrative of 1.5 billion Muslims who see the West as the enemy. AND YES, THEY REALLY DO SEE THE WEST AS THE ENEMY, as this curriculum makes clear."
*******************************
After reading the teacher's abstracts of this Islamic proselytism, which can be seen by scrolling down the link, I was aghast. If any teacher in the public schools dared to even mention Christianity or Judaism, they would be fired. This curriculum mandates far more than a casual mention. It lionizes Islam, papers over its excesses and trashes Christianity, all at the same time. It is doing immense, yet very subtle, harm to the most vulnerable among us...school children. I daresay that most public school parents in Texas are unaware that their children are being brainwashed in such a fashion.
It turns out that Rick Perry, the godfather of the gardasil mandate for preteen girls also subscribes to another mandate... mandatory Islamic proselytization. Both mandates, it should be noted, require no parental consent. This brought to mind the old slogan Jesse Jackson used to use, "We want hope for brains not dope for veins." Apparently, Governor Perry's education platform was "Gardasil for veins; Islamopropaganda for brains". As the writer correctly observes:
If Barack Obama had imposed such a curriculum on schools we'd be calling for his impeachment. Therefore it is unconscionable to look the other way when it comes to Perry.
The best that can be said for Rick Perry in connection with the Perry/Khan curriculum is that he is very naive. In putting across these two odious mandates on public school children in Texas, gardasil and the euphemistically titled "Muslim Histories and Culture Project", Perry has demonstrated either a colossal lack of judgment or a hidden (and darker) agenda, either of which should disqualify him from consideration for the GOP nomination.
They are simply under the impression that "inclusion" will somehow appease Muslims. Impossible....and our country will suffer just as Europe is now. With Shariah compliant laws...protected Muslim areas...and their school system being bomBarded with "false" Islamic teaching. So by the time those kids are grown they will accept Islam.
There is no appeasement to Islam....it's agenda is to conquer and that it will by any means necessary. They have now a foothold in our country because of our politicians welcome mats.....the day will come when our kids will be dealing with the likes of the unimaginable for this.
The best way to govern the border is to get capitol hill the **** out of it. They dont live on the border.

BTW That was a persuasive argument!
I was ready to cheer!

It is sad the the FBI are running themselves ragged trying to catch the jihadists while at the same time jihadi supporters are being invited to the White House and governors’ mansions. There is big divide between the no nonsense FBI and the clown politicians that we keep electing. We have to elect serious people if we want our country to be safe.
Of course it does....and you would think the turmoil on the border would somehow make that clear to those who do not see or understand. Not to mention the major cities are now contending with thugs and gangs from the south. I mentioned before the prisons are now seeing gang members enter with "FARSI" tatoos....Muslim thugs are all over our country now.

“It is a great honor to be in the presence of the Imam of 16 million Muslims around the world, a global humanitarian leader, a man of peace with a pluralistic vision for people around the world, His Highness, the Aga Khan, the 49th Hereditary Imam of the Shia Imami Ismaili Muslims. Your Highness, on behalf of 23 million Texans, and over 600,000 thousand Muslims living in Texas, I extend our heartfelt appreciation for your 50 years of great international leadership. We are delighted to welcome you to the Lone Star State and participate in the celebration of your Golden Jubilee. I am also grateful to the many federal, state and local leaders in attendance tonight. By their presence, these special guests convey the profound respect that exists in the Western World for His Highness’ work and leadership.”
That would definitely help. Before this is over, with all the Fast/Furious/drug crap going on. we are going to have to militarize it. But that’s a whole other discussion.
The state Govs control the National Guard. The states need to figure out how to finance them and bill the Admin for not doing it’s job. “We aren’t sending tax money till you pay the bill”..of course, that tax money is what ‘pays the bill’, so just skip the middle man and don’t send it to begin with. Problem solved.
“BTW That was a persuasive argument!

Thanks! ;)
It’s a dilly of a pickle of a problem.
We cant just militarize it per Posse Comitatus.
Tx cant afford to cover 1250 mi of border, and even when we try, the feds file suit on us.
We would all be better off if DC just stayed the **** out of states rights.
Then folks could wring their hands about those lawless bastards down in Texas.
When I lived in Az 6 mi from Naco Mexico, we used to roam the hills with sidearms and cellphones.
Sometimes we would buzz the border with piper cubs and call the coyotes positions to the BP.
You cant do that no more.
Remember Jim Gilchrist? He was making drones to fly the border, he begged the Capitol for help.
What did they do? They ****ed him.
The minuteman project is gone.
Yup. But we could just ignore it, after all, Obama gets to pick and choose ;) Kidding!
Personally I’m all for the fence with all the high tech goodies like ground penetrating sonar for tunnel detection. When you look at the cost compared to what Obama spends on terrorist support, it’s miniscule..
And such a fence (a REAL one, not some 4 foot chain link yard fence) is a 99.9% effective method to stop the flow, the drugs and the cross border violence (until the Zetas start lobbing mortars.) But as you said, it all goes back to Washington and as I said, their ‘laws of men.
We have to elect people who will stop catering to the special interests. The EPA/BLM are one big problem on our side with their wilderness area/spotted snarfblat BS stopping construction and driving costs into orbit.
I would suggest (after eliminating all alphabets but the FBI/CIA) that our next President (Palin/Perry/whoever) make the obvious to us statement that border issues are a matter of national security, place the Border Patrol under the Dept. of Defense and THAT skirts Posse Comatatus legally and legitimately. BP would get no further ‘power’ but the full ability to do their job without interference from the special interest mob.
There are so many obstacles.
In my time in Az I saw the Tohono Odham Indian nation reservation become a conduit from Puerto Penasco to Tucson.
Legally nothing could be done. and it remains this way till this moment.
The Tohono Odhamn Nation is a sovereign nation under US laws dating back to the 1840s.
They say BP cant come in to patrol it. They’ll take care of the matter.
Then they take graft from the coyotes and drug runners for safe passage.
They have a freaking corridor and we cant touch it.
You’d think we could sit on the other end of the corridor and intercept them but you’ve no idea ho big this place is.
Down here in Texas Perry has put in a pretty neat system of infrared sensors on towers along the Rio Grande.
They detect and call the authorities. I take it they have it tweeked to know the difference between a deer and a Mexican. Any how, it has to be cheaper that a soldier every 100 yards along a 1250 mi border in 112 degree heat
Sure I do...I live in AZ ;)
You are right, there’s a metric ton of things and people in the way. I really think a lot of it is based on Clo/Priven and an early implementation of it.
The admin has so many crossrefrencing regs/laws etc that it cannot be dismantled. Eliminate law A and Reg B from another dept does the same.
So it must be destroyed utterly. The whole system needs to be nuked via executive order, national security provisions and legislative authority. I an NOT saying Palin/Perry/Whoever should govern like Obama in reverse. I am saying USE THE LAWS ON THE BOOKS to eliminate the BS. All this crap was created and it can be undone.
We just need the “will to do it”. If we can get decent people with a sense of right/wrong and purpose elected, I believe it can be done. Sure it will take a while, but it can happen faster than many would think. Pull the right threads and the whole thing unravels.
I guess any asshole could shoot the sensors out but honestly, what are we to do? Who is going to pay for it all?
IMHO opinion it is best for the Feds and the Border states to Lean hard on Mexico.
None of this mordida BS
Then let the locals pick up the stragglers.
If these folks have no incentive to be here they wont come.
Mexico is one of the most horrific governments on the planet.
They are swimming in resources and the people are starving.
When I Talk to locals that get sympathetic to Mexico and want Uncle Sugar to fix it I redirect their attention.
Enforce states rights
If you look at polls to determine who to support your an idiot,just sayin.
