It's more than excessive to accuse the president of being an enemy of this country. But that's just what Super Republican Gov. Rick Perry of Texas does. He claims the president is trying to punish the country and is "hell bent" on a socialist takeover.
Now come on. This is ridiculous. Why can't Republicans just say they disagree? Why do they always have to make everything a manly struggle between freedom and tyranny, with them, of course, being the side of freedom? Anyone with half a brain can figure out for themselves that all insurance programs are socialist in nature. Even Spinner agrees to as much. There's really no reason for Perry or anyone to be doing what they're doing. He dances around a stage like Koko the ape and calls the President of the United States an enemy wanting to punish the country.
There's no excuse for this anymore. I couldn't imagine if the governor of the third largest state in the Union called President Bush a socialist enemy how much Republicans would have cried and wet their pants. Nor can I imagine what would have happened if Democratic Members of Congress had organized protests against Bush where they gleefully called him everything from Hitler to Lenin like Republicans did two weekends ago.
No doubt there were massive protests against Bush but not a single one was organized by opposition members of Congress. In fact, the one lowly person that organized a massive protest movement against George Bush was painted by the conservative media as un-American and aiding the terrorists. To this day, when Republicans detest un-American activities Cindy Sheehan is their main target. But what possibly could be more un-American than saying the president is a socialist enemy that wants to punish the country and states should secede in order to prevail against the coming tyrannical amercement? There really isn't much more a person can say that would have been labeled the worst of the worst by Republicans than what Rick Perry already has.
