A Texas Case of the Red State Blues
By Carol Morgan
Texans are slow learners. To grasp and master a concept requires the dreaded drill-and-kill technique, constant repetition; its a little like teaching English in middle school. Knowing that fact, it was no surprise when I read the AJ story on the Tech survey.
A 62 percent approval rate for Rick Perry? Even with his latest legal problems? Perhaps those responders need to read about the rise and fall of the boy from Paint Creek. Corruption, political patronage, and cronyism has flourished under the Guv and its hard for me to believe that 62 percent of any group would go along with the Perry corruption.
The Perry era is like a bad case of subterranean termites proliferating beneath a house. Thousands of the wood-chomping pests scurry away underground in a maze of tunnels, all connected to the queen of the hive. The drones of the underground serve the queen who is useless and insatiable, all the work performed by the mindless drones. In the end, the house is destroyed, collapsing upon itself, decimated from within, only because the damage was skillfully obscured from public view.
After this is all over, Texans will be surprised to learn that Perrys Texas Miracle was merely a card trick to enrich himself and maintain his personal employment agency which feeds his drones.
