Fed Up, by Texas Gov. Rick Perry - Part 3

More quotes from Governor Rick Perry's book, Fed Up:

Texans have a different view of the world than do the nine oligarchs in robes.

As a result of activism that makes the Court's jurisprudence on the First Amendment almost incomprehensible, the ability of the people to practice their faith freely is jeopardized

We Texans like our guns. We don't like meddlesome statists who want to infringe on our right to keep and bear them.

The federal government's lack of focus on its appropriate--and constitutional--responsibilities weakens the rule of law and makes the nation less secure.

One of Washington's greatest failures has been its unwillingness to secure our nation's borders. . . . Our broken borders put lives at risk. They make a mockery of the rule of law.

The federal government's actions (to secure the southern border) fall somewhere between raging incompetence and outright dereliction of duty.

We can have all the immigration debates we want, but Americans are demanding that the border be secure first.

The unsustainable fiscal wreck created after decades of Washington run amok is now threatening the government' paramount security function.

A 2006 report by the Texas controller's office found that approximately 135,000 undocumented students in Texas public schools cost the state $957 million in just the 2004-2005 school year.

(My note: Some moron commentator on TV the other day when told Texas created more jobs in 2010 than all the other states together replied, "Yes, but they are the second lowest in education." The nutcake commentator doesn't understand how difficult it is to rise to the top in education when you are trying to educate 135,000 or more students that can't speak English.)
