Perry: Government you can TRUST.

[AFK]

You know what doesn't seem to be getting a lot of coverage?

How the crowd broke out in applause at Rick Perry's number of executions. 

THIS.  I mean, HOLY SHIT.  It wasn't just a polite bit of applause it was a fucking roar of applause.

Ah, yes.  Pro-life, but if they step out of line, kill them!

The blood thirst in this country can be a bit unsettling at times.

During last night's Republican presidential debate, Texas Gov. Rick Perry defended his position as a climate change skeptic. When asked by Poiltico's John Harris to name a scientist whose work on manmade global warming has informed his thinking, Perry said:

Well, I do agree that there is—the science is—is not settled on this. The idea that we would put Americans' economy at—at—at jeopardy based on scientific theory that's not settled yet, to me, is just—is nonsense. I mean, it—I mean—and I tell somebody, I said, just because you have a group of scientists that have stood up and said here is the fact, Galileo got outvoted for a spell.

Let's leave aside the obvious problem, which is that in Galileo's case, science was "outvoted for a spell" by religious authorities who believed that the Bible was the final wold on the natural order. (That calls to mind Perry's stance on evolution, no?) I understand what he's trying to say, which is that ideological zealots are ignoring scientific evidence in favor of their own worldview. I disagree with it, but that's his argument.

Instead, I would like to propose a corollary to the Internet rule of Godwin's Law of Nazi Analogies, which stipulates that the first person to cite Hitler in a Web debate automatically loses. Let's call this new beast the Perry's Rule: If you cite Galileo to support your claim of scientific persecution, you lose.

There is no mention at all in Godwin's Law about "automatically losing", it just states

"As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1 (100%)."

Instead, I would like to propose a corollary to Godwin's Law, if you cite Godwin's Law to support your claim of whatever, you lose.

THIS.

Because too often these days, comparing things to Hitler and/or nazis and/or concentration camps is PERFECTLY RELEVANT.

Heh.  If you live in Texas, you have a better chance to be executed by Rick Perry than you do to die in an airplane crash.

Michelle Bachmann will be offered the Department of Lunatic Ranting Where She Has Little Real Power, if she's lucky.  She's totally bombing, even compared to Romney.

We totally need to get in on this!

Ooh, LOOK!  Rick Perry has a DIRECT LINE TO GAWD and can LIFT CURSES WIFF HIS PRAYERS!

Jacobs claims that lands are cursed with violence because they were previously inhabited by Native Americans who "did blood sacrifice" and "were cannibals and they ate people."

Fortunately, Jacobs maintains, Texas Gov. Rick Perry's The Response prayer rally in Houston broke the curse and "the land is starting to rejoice, you see, because of that prayer."

...I can't even come up with a response to that.

It's obvious!  He's a Holy High Priest Whotssis, so we HAVE to vote for him, since religion and politics are so intertwined in this country!

We must immediately form a cult around him, singing his praises and pointing out that HIS witchcraft is stronger than the American Indian witchcraft...

That's because you hate Baby Jesus, and make out with communists.
