A typical display of GOP political ineptitude and human insularity this is truly stepping in it for Rick Perry. Calling in the National Guard is a case in political grandstanding theater with the flavor of stupid.

Wouldn’t it seem practical to call on social officials appointed by the government to look after the interests and the welfare of the citizens of another country.

To establish medical and documentation to measure ongoing procedure in records an individual’s behavior & characteristic qualities, evaluating the performance & values and assessing why this is happening. No send in soldiers that are “at will” chaos machines.

This is how our American system treats children here at our borders, now imagine how other children are treated across the world thousands of miles away. At home too.

Now American should not wonder how and why after decades of malice, in phony profiteering wars, and corporate plundering for cheap labor our children with home grown terror, and the children of another country tell us a message that is very clear. American GOP politics is broken.

I have read the book by President Obama called “Audacity of Hope”. In many ways wondering why a black man would write such a title. Now, I know after watching Rick Perry politics the title of the new GOP play book is an “Atrocity of Hope”.

For Rick Perry displays that specific quality that specific GOP state of being atrocious. From my view an enormous action of wickedness and extreme cruelty to children. The GOP indifference to suffering, and even pleasure in inflicting it shows the governance those people vote for.

I wonder if they ever actually listen to themselves, or give any thought to the meaning of the slogans they mindlessly regurgitate. Obviously they don't, but would they like what they saw if they did?

equal or greater number of people who want to see the kids sheltered here. I know at least some of the good guys just happened to notice the anti -kids people; note to Right Wingers - don't hold your protest three houses down from where the Franciscan Corp volunteers are living1.

when the Tea Partiers were out in full force. Probably the same groups getting all whipped up again. Ugly, ugly Americans.
