Republican candidates, the gift that keeps on giving

 

Rick Perry knows history:

 

“Our Founding Fathers never meant for Washington, D.C. to be the fount of all wisdom. As a matter of fact they were very much afraid if that because they’d just had this experience with this far-away government that had centralized thought process and planning and what have you, and then it was actually the reason that we fought the revolution in the 16th century was to get away from that kind of onerous crown if you will,” Perry said.

 

Yes, when the Founding Fathers issued the Declaration of Independence in 1576, little did they know that only 400+ years later, one of their greatest intellectual and moral equals, Texas Governor Rick Perry, would briefly be the Republican frontrunner.
