The author of this piece is either intentionally deceitful, or an idiot. And since Im familiar with the author’s past, Im gonna go with deceitful.
First, he uses an anti –immigration firm’s results to show that immigration is a problem. Where does the CFI get its numbers? How do they know what percent of jobs went to illegals? Where is any of that posted.
Second, the TEA, which sets the curriculum, is a group of elected individuals. So to blame Perry alone for that is disingenuous. And what evidence does the author bring of Pakistani Muslim Clerics writing the curriculum? It may be true, but there are not footnotes, nor is there and stated proof.
Third, Perry’s being present at the groundbreaking of a mosque doesn’t show any type of proof of subversion. Tancredo is assuming that his readers are just bigots who will say “Perry was ok with a mosque being built, he’s one of them.”
Fourth, what is wrong with offering muslim history courses in college?
Fifth, using the head of “Jihad Watch” to find pro-Jihad implications falls into the “I was looking for what I found” mentality of one issue focus groups.
Sixth, using evidence that Perry wont support a law to outlaw a law that is not currently a law is stretching it pretty thin.
Seventh, I think the Grover Norquist scare tactic is just part of the one world government conspiracy that makes its way in and out of vogue, while attempting to brand Perry bad because he knows someone who knows someone.
Overall, I would say Tancredo just comes off as exactly who he is: A true believer who got politically shot down by the country and the state because he thinks that everyone who is not 100% with him is 100% against him.
Sam...read down further in the thread the Kahns quotes of what his agenda is and how he really pulled the wool over Perry’s eyes into introducing islamic teachings into the school system...what the kahn says in the US is not wahat he’s preaching on an international scale.
IMO...Perry is on board with the globalist agenda educational wise or he would never have allowed this in his state.
Further as soon as this news had hit Perrry’s people were fast to scrub the net of any information which would have definately nailed Perry....they pulled the actual course outlines from the web and replaced it with a bogus one.
Lots of nasty stuff happening in the Perry campaign to keep what the voters need to know from what they think they know...including Texans.
Thank you for making these points. Have any of Perry’s people challenged Tancredo on this?
