Rick Perry has apparently just discovered another department of government he'd like to do away with -- Homeland Security. What do you know... Perry almost said something I agree with for once, other than the fact that the better part of this discussion with Neil Cavuto this Monday on Fox was completely ridiculous.
More scandal mongering in the wake of this NSA leak and more conflating it with all of their other drummed up "scandals" go keep their lemming viewers thoroughly confused and agitated at the Kenyan usurper.
Rick Perry tells Fox News that ‘part time Congress’ would prevent NSA surveillance:
Speaking to Fox News host Neil Cavuto on Monday, the Republican governor said recent revelations about the NSA showed that an over-sized and “out of control” government was now “a reality.”
“The reason I truly believe we need a part time Congress is because when they’re not there all the time, they’re not sitting around dreaming up new things to do to us — or for us, in their opinion,” he explained.
“The key is once you fund that government that can be there 24/7, 365 days out of the year you get that type of intrusion into your lives,” Perry continued. “That’s the reason states like Texas — our legislature only meets for 140 days every other year. I’ll suggest to you we keep the legislature out of town, keep government agencies restricted in their size, their efforts, and Texans live with more freedom than nearly any other state.”
Yeah, that's the ticket. Let's all be just like Texas. No thanks Rick. Although, since the Republicans have been back in charge of the House, I think they're doing their best to act like Texas when you look at the number of days they're not in session.
