In Perry's leadership we see a contradiction of rights for the people and oppressive government. While Perry often appears to be a strong TEA Party supporter that pushes state's rights, his Texas record tells a different story.
Perry signed the first executive order in the country that required all girls to be vaccinated with the controversial STD and cervical cancer drug, Gardasil. Of course after this, it was discovered two of his staff members had ties to the pharmaceutical company that produces the controversial drug that is alleged to have caused blood clots and death.
Perry is also a supporter of the controversial NAFTA Superhighway, which has many Texans worried about their own personal property rights that may soon be taken away to build the controversial highway.
Yet Perry continues to fight against the Federal Government, whether it be for states rights or crazy federal mandates or the coming federal food police. Perry has a new book out, and while he is a possible presidential candidate for 2012, I am approaching with great caution event though I agree with many of the things he has said in the last two years.
Here's a passage from his book, which he takes on the federal food police:
"We are fed up with being overtaxed and overregulated," he writes in "Fed Up," his aptly named new book."We are tired of being told how much salt we can put on our food, what windows we can buy for our house, what kind of cars we can drive... and countless other restrictions on our right to live as we see fit."
While this all sounds good, I remind you this is a man who told Texas parents their daughters will be injected with a vaccine that has led to deaths and other side effects, and he did it bypassing the Texas legislature using the power of the executive order. Freedom? You tell me.
