NYP - In Praise of Rick Perry's Poaching

[JJVP]

What you’re now hearing across the land is a collective whine. Blue-state Democrats are upset that Texas Gov. Rick Perry dares come and play in their sandboxes, and worse, threatens to “poach” jobs from their states.

If blue-state Democrats want Rick Perry to stop bothering them, they should quit whining and start learning from his example.

Texas is reality, California is a reality show.

One week from tomorrow I leave this "reality show," which is not the term I would use for it, after 45 years.

The term I use is "socialist hellhole."

Don't hold back, tell us what you really think.

I really had to do a double take when I saw that the NYT would praise anything from Texas not out of Austin. Come to find out it was the NY Post. That makes a little more sense but it is good to see something like that from a dyed in the wool blue state.

I love this thought from the article:

“He better not take our businesses away,” Sen. Dick Durbin warned

My reply to that: Senator, your elected officials in your own state are chasing businesses away. Gov. Perry is merely providing a place for them to retreat to...

Idiots.

I'm always tempted to change the D in Durbin to a T.
Hopefully that's not too far out of bounds. The guy really chaps my ... knees.

My goodness. Dick Durbin sounds a lot like some Texas legislators and others complaining about "irresponsible" instructors teaching classes for nonresident licenses and taking money out of their pockets.

Bringing in all these people from CA, I just wonder how long it's going to take for Texas to turn blue and then into a socialist hellhole too. We aren't as red as it seems like we are...wouldn't take much to turn Texas blue.

No we need to work harder at "brainwashing" them and their children to think like we do.

Texans don't brainwash people (even liberals) into believing in liberty and freedom. We deprogram them from the brainwashing they received at the hands of their liberal masters.
