For all you Rick Perry fans
« on: January 25, 2016, 08:51:27 AM »
http://www.politico.com/story/2016/01/rick-perry-endorses-ted-cruz-218170

He's made a very clear case for Senator Cruz. My favorite part of the endorsement:

Quote
Perry said he found the senator to be a good listener who respects the Tenth Amendment [and] “knows what he does not know”...

(I left out the part about Cruz being more conservative than Trump because that's a no-brainer.)

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

I like what he said about Cruz.  I don't usually pay attention to endorsements, but this better than most.

That's a surprise. I figured he'd go for Rubio or another establishment candidate. Not that a Perry endorsement brings much to the table.....

Impressed yet befogged, they grasped at his vivid leading phrases, seeing only their surface meaning, and missing the deeper current of his thought.

Best comment on this I read elsewhere:

"Rick Perry had 3 reasons for endorsing Cruz: 1st, he's a fellow Texan; 2nd, he's not Donald Trump; and 3rd, ummm...uh... Ooops?"

Perry is in the middle, ideologically, between Cruz and Rubio.  Sure did know how to pummel Democrats into unrecognizable goo.

I was going to disagree, but I think you are pretty close.  I liked Perry, but I was concerned that if he won that he would get swayed by the big money establishment types once in DC.

“knows what he does not know”...

I had an old prof in Jr. College who like to say that "Knowledge is when you know that you don't know."

If that statement about Cruz is accurate, it means his stock just went up as far as I'm concerned and I already like him.

Quoting Thomas Sowell: It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.

Such an attitude would be a refreshing change from our Dear Leader's belief in his omniscience.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.
