Perry and every governor is fighting with at least one hand tied behind his back,and hobbled to boot!

When the South lost in 1865 it was not only slavery of blacks that was ended but the concept of states’ rights;since then the Washington-based tyrants have taken over every aspect of life.

The totally unjustified 1898 war against Spain was just a grab for territory ;and then it was used to justify forming a larger permanent standing Army ,and placing the state Guard firmly under the federal government’s control.

The truth is that the original concept of each state being free to operate in its own unique manner within the broad guidelines of the Constitution has been replaced by the reality of the states becoming just administrative districts forced to carry out onerous regulations imposed by Washington elites.

The control freaks and tyrants cannot abide the idea of all the general populace not following in lockstep.

Indeed, the problem lies at the federal level.

Perry may be criticized for tilting at wind mills in that sort of environment but, he charges at it again and again, attempting to wake up the general public.

I will not fault the man for sounding the alarm.
