I heard that line too about DC (and he is 100% right!). The static was so bad on the radio before I clicked on the net feed that I missed some comments — I hope she’ll have it transcribed — so when he’s “quoted” by the MSM I will know when and how much they’re spinning. Thanks again for the heads-up! It’s still raining but more lightly now. I think we got about 4 inches. Very big deal!!!

IngrahamAngle Laura Ingraham @GovernorPerry says Arne Duncan flat out wrong when it comes to his comments on Texas’ education system.

Yes! And he gave her statistics! GOOD statistics! And she replied the media is using WAR tactics against him.

Damn right.

Regulations have sucked the life’s blood out of our economy.

Self-deportation is the key.
A fence is necessary, but cutting off ALL benefits for non-citizens will send them packing immediately....

Sans the fence.

Just totally a boondoggle and won’t do the job.

Conservatism = economic health.

No doubt. But I would argue that Perry is an exponent of Bushy access capitalism (Stockman's "pigs at the trough") rather than the Randite "real deal" capitalism of Adam Smith and the Austrian liberals.

[Art.] Tod Lindberg, a research fellow at the Hoover Institution and editor of Policy Review, is a contributing editor to The Weekly Standard.

Another endorsement by the Neo-Conservative Weekly Standard crowd. Okay, Neocons love Perry. Do conservatives? Tea Party people? Remember, he's working for the bankers and builders and open-borders people.

Texas just got Voter Photo ID passed by the Dept. of Justice (Eric Holder) is LOOKING it over and will let Texas know if we can use it.

What odds Holder Justice says not only "no" but "hell no"?

Holder is going to have his own wing in Supermax.

Laura Ingraham said that? Good for her -- I assume she means, the Obamabots are using black propaganda techniques against Perry (as against Palin and Bachmann) .....?

Arne Duncan is as statist and Red-tinged as they come. Nationalize everything, make the kids all goose-step together to a national curriculum (overseen by him, of course .... mmmmm .... mmmmm .... mmmmm Obama Osagyefo!) ..... Duncan reminds me of Baldur von Schirach, Hitler's national commander of the Hitler Youth. That he exists is offensive.

Dismantle the Department of Education! Send the educrats to China and Russia, let them infest our enemies! (They'd like Russia better anyway, I'm sure.)

"Our major ruination is due to having to pay for all the illegals pouring into our state and using our services....for free!"

If Texans don't stop them--if Texas becomes California--it will be the falt of the Texans--nobody else.

“Texas is not California.”

Be very careful! I an no “Sybil” but ANY state can fall to the cancer that is liberalism. Just imagine Austin metastasizing.

Watch your six.

California needs to become Texas!

Ha! Like that'll ever happen.


Where there's a shell, there's a way.

If you can't appreciate the pure beauty of the violin after hearing this, something's wrong with your ears.

Or you can get raw with these strings. Either way, the violin is sweet yet lethal.

Do it!

You’re right, Peet. Maybe I fell into the trap of mindless optimism.
