Texas Gov. Rick Perry pitches a way to ‘win this country back’

Unfortunately, there is a pay wall there. So to read Governor Goodhair's remarks, I must take you to the conservative source:

Road to Majority a Success!

Which gives the Governor's words at their latest conservative orgy below.

Rick Perry to Conservatives: Be Humble, Courageous Like Jesus and Disciples

...Perry described some of the things he accomplished as governor of Texas by standing by his principles. He mentioned removing state funding for Planned Parenthood, a parental consent law for minors to be able to have an abortion, and a law that allows schoolchildren to wish each other a "merry Christmas or happy Hanukah, or whatever that might be."

Perry also advised his audience to be "happy warriors," and used the example of Ronald Reagan.

"I fear with [Reagan's] passing," Perry said, "we forgot that conversations should come with a smile. Love and joy ought to be our code. Our conviction and our passion should lead to compassion, not contempt or anger or fear mongering."

I have more on Rick in my journal. He's definitely on a 'Mission from God.' Just not as funny as the Blues Brothers...
