Rick Perry is a Bloody Moron

I'm really happy to be living in Texas now but I am not happy by having the execrable Rick Perry as my governor. The European Union asked Texas to consider a moratorium on the death penalty. Perry's response:

“230 years ago, our forefathers fought a war to throw off the yoke of a European monarch and gain the freedom of self-determination. Texans long ago decided that the death penalty is a just and appropriate punishment for the most horrible crimes committed against our citizens. While we respect our friends in Europe, welcome their investment in our state and appreciate their interest in our laws, Texans are doing just fine governing Texas.”

Of course, Perry fails to leave out how his Texas forefathers fought a war against Mexico 161 years ago to protect their slaves and another war against those American forefathers he claims to respect so much 146 years ago to do the same thing.

But hey, Perry's argument is so stupid just on the face of it to not even be worth mentioning. In fact, I dearly wish I had never seen it.
