Perry makes good points

Re: “This is patriotism?” by Rose Kelly Rhoades, let me state that I am not a Rick Perry supporter by any means because of his affiliation with the Bilderberg Group and his internationalist views. Did you also complain when Obama questioned George Bush’s patriotism?

So Perry suggested we secede from the union; there may have been good grounds. Perry rejected $555 million in unemployment funds; he had more insight than those who took it when you consider that the U.S. is bankrupt and our credit rating took a dive.

Perry suggested Social Security is a Ponzi scheme. It is. Social Security depends on generations down the road to fund it. Bernie Madoff depended on new clients down the road to float his Ponzi scheme.

Madoff did not do anything Social Security hasn’t already done to the taxpayers. Sure Perry wants the EPA to relax its standards; so do most of those in the unemployment lines.

I would say it was more of a case of doing what those who elected him want him to do – a concept Obama fails to have a grasp on.
