Rick Perry & Republican Southern Governors Find A New Schoolhouse Door To Block
With his refusal of federal stimulus dollars to help unemployed folks in Texas, far right-wing Governor Rick Perry has found his schoolhouse door to stand in and block.
Governor Perry and other Republican Southern governors, along with disloyal secessionist Sarah Palin, now have an updated interposition and nullification stance to rally around. They don’t want that mean old Federal government coming in and telling them what to do!
Some things are very slow to change in at least some quarters of the South.
There is our Governor below. Big tough guy Rick Perry laying down the law as he runs scared from Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson’s 2010 primary challenge.

Welcome To Texas Liberal
Texas Liberal is a blog of politics and political history.
My name is Neil Aquino. Here is my profile.
I can be reached at naa618@att.net.
Additional focuses of the blog are books, art, poetry, personal relationships and, also, sea life and marine mammals.
( The picture above is of the Houston Ship Channel. A narrow channel can lead to a wide sea.)
The signature post of this blog is the Martin Luther King Reading & Reference List. This list is the best of it’s kind on the web.
Another good post is my reciting the words to the Shaker hymn Simple Gifts on Galveston Island, Texas as a ship passes behind.
I live in Houston, Texas and I do sometimes write about political issues in Houston and in Texas.
I also often write about my former hometown of Cincinnati, and about the great beach city of Galveston, Texas.
I define liberalism as a role for government in the economy to help make life more fair, and a broad acceptance of people regardless of who they are.
This is why it says “All People Matter” at the top of the blog.
A blog grows one reader at a time. If you like what you read here, please consider forwarding the link.
Texas Liberal began regular posting on July 25, 2006.
I also blog at the Houston Chronicle as one of eight featured political bloggers, and on Where’s The Outrage? which posts out of North Carolina.
Thanks for reading Texas Liberal.

Wow, the race card. That’s a new one.
It’s the clear facts of the matter you crazed right wingers despise. Hating the federal government as you go on about the lack of patriotism of others.
If we lay off Rick Perry come election time by electing someone else, he may then feel sorry that he did not accept unemployment benefits. Being out of ajob might help him be more symathetic to the needs of the less fortunate. But then maybe not.
Republican governors, if they aren’t blocking the pathways of blacks, are blocking the paths of the poor and umeployed. At least amongst the poor and umemployed they do not descriminate.
Ever wonder why the Reublican party is full of only white people? Steel does not count as apparently he hasn’t realized he’s free and is still doing the bidding of his white master a/k/a Rush Limbaugh.
Rallying the crazies isn’t going to win the primary for Rick.
