Wow! Rick Perry Threatens Bernanke, And Says More QE Would Be "Almost Treasonous"
Business Insider ^ | 8/15/11 | Joe Weisenthal & Zeke Miller

Posted on 08/15/2011 10:25:31 PM PDT by Nachum

The politicization of monetary policy being taken to a brand new level. ThinkProgress reports: Speaking just now in Iowa, Perry said, “If this guy prints more money between now and the election, I dunno what y’all would do to him in Iowa but we would treat him pretty ugly down in Texas. Printing more money to play politics at this particular time in history is almost treasonous in my opinion.” Treason is a capital offense. The remark appeared to be in response to a question from an attendee at the event, but it does not seem to be off the

I wonder if God will wipe him up with the floor. Liars are an abomination to God, especially ones that use Him for political gain. God is NOT mocked by phony “prophets”. I think at back problem is just a warning of grace period.

I doubt Perry understands QE anything. Just something someone put in his teleprompter.

Ah, wonderful. The good old 'Republicans are stupid' meme, back from the grave for yet another scare. Why let Democrats have all the fun, right?

Well, I believe in American Exceptionalism, so I’m thinking God is pretty happy for America right now. That’s just my opinion.

You're scary. Starting to sound like that red-headed kid from Children of the Corn.

I’m not talking about America. I’m talking about the lying RINO Rick Perry. His little back problem is nothing. God is very patient, he gives a space of grace, but I wouldn’t want to be in God’s wrath.

I have a Bible and personal relationship with God. No need to minister to me here. I’m sorry you are so mislead about Perry. He is a devout Christian and a very good man. A conservative man. Perhaps not conservative enough for you, but then no one is unless you are fooling yourself.

No he is illiterate in the business world, has a degree in animal science, whatever that is, maybe he could work at the Washington zoo. But he would need someone to explain the gestation periods to him because he made a c in the subject.

That’s real funny. No. Just keeping it real. Perry talks about God, but he lies like the devil. God isn’t mocked and He doesn’t play games with lying politicians using his name to get votes.

Meanwhile super rich Buffet is calling for super rich to pay more taxes. He says it is not fair that he only pays 17% tax while many of his workers pay a lot more. See this Market Watch take on the issue and the comments:

I’m not trying to “minister” anything to you. I’m just warning the phony Christian Rick Perry. He is NO born again Christian. His fruit is rotten and corrupt. I’m not being fooled by that wicked man. I hope you come out of your deception.

I think the term is animal husbandry. Animal sex, well, ... animals are all pretty much A students right out the gate.

As to your point, Perry's a successful three term governor of Texas and he did graduate Texas A&M. He might not be sitting around computing Pi in his spare time, but people who grow up poor and dumb don't rise to his level. Ever.

On paper, at least, he's more qualified than Barack Obama or Sarah Palin, and at least as qualified as George Bush or Hillary Clinton. I suppose if you like 'business' talking corporate raiders, then there's Mitt Romney. Any of those five are well above average in intelligence (if not common sense, perhaps), and I don't see any of them exactly blowing Perry out of the water in that column, either.

Your judgement of Perry is pretty harsh for someone who doesn’t know him. I hope you are comfortable explaining that judgement to God when the time comes. It’s pretty merciless.

He was an Air Force pilot, and ran a farm and ranching business for 13 years. Yeah, he’s real dumb. You’re the perfect candidate to read how he tore Romney apart today. Same topic.

I sure will. God will be please that I tried to warn Rick Perry. I see Perry’s fruit and his actions, deeds, policies, etc. and the Holy Spirit gives discernment that he is wicked.

Wow. I’ve never heard a “Christian” talk this way about another one. I’ll pray for you tonight. I really will.
