His nomination will most likely spark a stealth civil war among Republicans. similar to 1964, with many in the Bush camp actively seeking to defeat him in the general election, even if this means four more yeat of Obama (which they believe would be good for Jeb’s fortunes.)

A Perry presidency. whether successful or disatrous (it would be disastrous) would destroy any influence the Bushes have in the party and ruin Jeb on a national level forever (yeah ok they don’t realize W. probably already has, but that is another story.)

If Perry manages to defeat Obama, the Bushes, and Karl Rove next year, he would be the most sucessful political demagogue in American history. And then, ironically, probably the worst president in American history. Perhaps even the last. LOL

Got wildfires? Blame the queers!

“You just don’t understand how quickly this can get out out of hand and put people’s lives or their property in jeopardy.”

Indeed not, Guv’nor!

Seen on SBS World News (Australian TV) Tuesday 6th Sept. 6.30 pm.

He was talking about the recent Texas bushfires – or wildfires as they call’em over in the States I gather – but it also applies so well to, well, that whole climatology problem he denies is real.

The news segued from there into a story about an ominous new hurricane off the US eastern coast – and followed mention of the drought and heatwave that helped the wildfires get so severe. Go figure.

But, he will do anything Big Corporate wants as long as they finance him.

An unfortunately, that is the only parameter that matters in this burned-out husk of what was once a great nation.

The court felt that forcing doctors to do this was imposing an ideological agenda on doctors whether they agreed with it or not (to me, a clear violation of their first amendment rights), as it is not medically necessary.

Of course, the state of Texas appealed this decision within an hour of the judge handing it down.

Perry links up with Dominionists, so you might call him one of THOSE. But it’s probably fairer to simply say he means to make use of them politically in a purely cynical way, as the GOP is famed for doing for a long while now with respect to Right Wing Extremist Religionists generally. This in no way excludes their eagerness to use the political support of racists, those vastly ignorant, those incredibly afraid…and of course…stupid people.

In terms of his willingness to do approximately anything for the sake of his own power and that of his corporate sponsors, we might most usefully categorize Perry as a FASCIST. TEXAS STYLE.

So, he’s a TEXAS STYLE FASCIST. That the corporate media is willing to even take this guy seriously as a presidential candidate marks a real low point in our national politics…but then, they also like to play up those two mentally ill women, one of them saying she may or may not run, as well. In terms of entertainment value, they seem each to be equal.

In terms of their ability to prove disastrous to this country if elected president, both are perhaps more or less equivalent to Romney, a cult member billionaire I’m placing very much in the current U.S. fascist camp.

That’s right. Fascist. Try saying the word over and over until it rolls right off of your tongue…and while you’re at this, try and name ONE other U.S. fascist. You’ve been drilled by Orwellian style propagandists here not to be able to do so! Come on…you can do it! Now expand that list. Once you understand the general ground covered by the term, you will be able to name quite a few. At first it will probably be hard work. But then you will be able to see them and their handiwork everywhere.

Think of the so-called Neoconservatives for one example. Don’t be fooled by their somewhat lack of consistency! They too are fascists. Fascists don’t suddenly appear when the time (or the times) are right. They are always here. You need only look for ‘em.

Give it a try, eh?
