I don’t have to go to a Government Indoctrination Unit (AKA mainstream university) to get a thorough education. The world is at my fingertips with the internet and correspondence courses. My parents give me assignments all the time (“Ron Paul said this about Rick Perry–go look it up and come back to us about it, quick!” “OK, Dad, Paul is just badmouthing Perry and here is why…don’t worry, Perry’s all good”) and I LOVE it. I think Rush was saying just recently how, if he’d completed his mainstream college education, he probably wouldn’t be a conservative talk show host.

Enjoy that rain! We’re getting drizzles, too. I’ll be so excited when the cold weather sets in permanently. Can you believe it’s 9 days till Thanksgiving?

I was just wat3ching Rick Perry being interviewed on the radio by Glenn Beck and Rick said some really good things—one was that he would end the lifetime appointments for federal judges; place a moratorium on new regulations since 2008 and cutting pay in Congress in half until they balance the budget. Sounds good to me but my question is doesn’t Congress have to approve that last one about cutting their pay in half and I can’t see Congress agreeing to that??? So how would he do that?

That involves this: whenever you are helped by someone, the only way you can really repay that kindness is to help the next in-need-of-help person you see and on down the line. I live by that credo and believe it helps, even if in a tiny way, the world a little nicer place.

Aren’t you just the sweetie discussing all these mess at RS with your family? I love it! Lordy, hope they don’t forbid you to talk to me with some of things I come up with to say! But, just like me, you are getting a totally free education like no other!

Yep, 80% change of rain this afternoon and the radar looks like it is headed for a direct hit. LOVE IT! Love the rain, the thunder and just want to curl up and take a nap. And we sure do need it – as well as OK and parts of NM, AR, and I think a little of LA. At any rate, we will accept whatever we get and be grateful.

and you helped me. Sounds like a good deal Of course I talk about you with my family. When I read your comment about President Zero having lace on his drawers, my mom cracked up laughing. My being on RedState has kinda been a big deal around here, especially since we’re always discussing politics: “Guess what Herman Cain did today?” or “What are they saying on RedState about the Eurozone?” or “You’ll be happy to know E. Erickson said this about Perry…”

P.S. I heard via Twitter that Texas is getting some rain today. Praise the Lord!

Nope…doubt if Governor prepared too heavily…he is too much of a work a holic…he won’t take the time off and lock himself up like Cain or the others…he will run to catch up and pass up the competition…and he knows he can…His back surgery and the wild fires in Texas as well as the border that he is constantly in communications with…the fund raising and the setting the campaign up…all work that had to be done in less than half the time. He also had to say “Howdy.” The others attacked him and that was going on before he came in…they meant to shoot him down fast…Governor laid low but when he gets up…he is coming at cha and not going to argue about it. Texas made Governor proud…because we were doing so much better with the wildfires than he expected…he called for trailers to move stock…we got em there in a hurry and in great shape…The Eastern fires…(there were over fifty burning in the state) well…by the time Fema got to the scene…Fema had to take a back seat…Our Texas grocery chain HEB also was feeding and doing…these are all things Governor had already laid in place and taught us…Rise to the occasssion…So we told him to go to that debate…I know he could not have had much rest. God save our nation by giving us Perry in 2012!

You can call me anything you want, just don’t call me late to supper, You don’t know how flattered I am that you would even mention me.

Scope is one of the most approachable people here. Of course, she is very special to me in that she sought me out. In fact, I recall her saying (I think) that she had “talked” to me on another site somewhere, but I didn’t remember it. Boy, I had been on some sites that were so disgusting and then, for some reason, I saw the RS link and came here. Had never heard of it. Guess when Scope saw my handle (used it on other sites too), she recognized me because here she came. Now that is extra special. I was about to give up the wars, when all of these things came together – thank the Lord above. I can babble freely here without getting all of my hair yanked out!

and know from reading for months that she’s been through the wringer for Perry. After some of Perry’s more unfortunate debate performances, I’d hurry to RedState to see if she’d made any comments. So yes, I’m so glad she and I have been able to communicate a little in the past couple of days. Thanks for all the encouragement, pttx333. I’ve taken to calling you “Mrs. Texas” when relating our conversations to my family.

Scope is a dear, sweet lady with many large battle scars from being on RS ( ) – don’t ever forget that. When I first found RS, August I think, I was as confused and bewildered as the two of you. Scope so kindly and sweetly found me flopping around like a fish and led me through the maze. She’s a true winner, and so are the both of you. Don’t even worry about it – not one bit.

I’m so glad you and Scope made up. I felt bad myself and was hoping it would not deter you from being on RS.

and Perrybots. Oh well, I guess we’ll just combat the accusations by continuing the get the good solid facts out there and save the admiration/adulation for conversations with each other

in “To Kill a Mockingbird,” “Captain Horatio Hornblower,” “Moby Dick,” and “The Scarlet and the Black.” “Moby Dick” was so depressing because he played Captain Ahab–I had never seen him play the bad dude. “The Scarlet and the Black,” however, is a wonderful film; Peck plays an Irish priest at the Vatican who saves Jews and POWS from the Nazis. A true story, by the way; I love that movie.

As I said above in reply to windwaker24 and carolynr, I’d love to see Perry take on the Iranian president. For all his faults, George W. was respected by the Middle Eastern rulers; so was Reagan. It’s what comes of having Christian cowboys for President–and that’s something the MSM will never understand. They’ll never understand that it was/is the core belief system of Reagan, Bush, and Perry that gives them courage and inspires respect in their enemies.

gorgeous! though he gets mocked for that. I am quite partial to the name Rick as that is my husbands name. It’s a strong name. we are really wallowing in it here!

the voice. The sound of it is comforting and makes one feel safe. Just my perception, but each one of us has our own. Maybe it falls back to infancy and childhood when you would be comforted by your parents and others who loved you … the voices would stay with you in some part of your memory bank.

I, too, am drawn to his voice, his laugh, hair and of course his name, RICK PERRY. Seems like my worries melt when I hear Perry’s voice, see him smile.

I can’t put too much faith in the polls either, even the national ones. I’m sure you must have read Neil’s latest diary, where he points out that 3 different polling outfits today all have someone different at the top. I also agree with Neil that the Newt is going to come back down when the media gets a hold of his record. He has slapped the media in every debate and then some. They are about to “get even” with his trashing of them. Not that I trust the media either by the way.

lies the difference! You recognize quality and substance of character over fluff and flash-in-the-pan types. The bottom line difference is what you prefer is a MAN, a gentleman in all respects.

If there is any way you can watch an ancient move “Duel In the Sun” with Peck and Jennifer Jones, an old western, please do so. I wasn’t even a teenager when I saw it, but it remains in my memory to this day. THAT movie is what made him my choice for all these years. How’s that? Plus, he was married to the same womn all those years – how’s that for Hollyweird?

The current occupant at OUR White House is the ultimate nerd/weenie/dweeb/sissy. I’ll swear he has lace on his drawers!

I LOVE Gregory Peck! You are NOT the only female who thinks that way. “To Kill a Mockingbird” is one of my favorite movies/books and Gregory Peck is wonderful in that film. Walter Pidgeon is good, too; he was in several movies with the lovely Greer Garson back in the 40′s. And I know what you mean about the latest heartthrobs. I say, “What heartthrobs?” Around here my sisters and I are constantly laughing about how “most girls go goofy over Justin Bieber and the Jonas Brothers–but WE like Ronald Reagan and Rick Perry. Go figure.” Think of it as appreciating manly men, and not giving girly-men a second thought (including but not limited to the Current Resident of 1600).
