Rick Perry the Liberal?

Rick Perry pulled out a trick from the progressive or liberal camp at the Thursday debate, attempting to paint his opponents as heartless when pressured concerning his dismal record on immigration.

Michele Bachmann, Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich all took Perry to account over his allowing illegal aliens to tap into in-state tuition benefits.

Concerning opposing the practice, Perry said of his opponents, "I Don't Think You Have a Heart." Talk about a bleeding liberal, which it appears many of Perry's policies have been over the years in political office.

Perry noted, "If you say that we should not educate children who come into our state for no other reason than that they've been brought their through no fault of their own, I don't think you have a heart," adding, "We need to be educating these children because they will become a drag on our society. I think that's what Texans wanted to do. Out of 181 members of the Texas legislature when this issue came up [there were] only four dissenting votes. This was a state issue. Texas voted on it. And I still support it today."

There are of course a number of issues withing these comments raised by Perry, including state's rights. But the question is whether Federal tax dollars are used to pay for the in-state tuition for illegals or not.

More importantly, and to the point I wanted to comment on, the Bible doesn't condone the bleeding heart, emotional responses asserted by liberals like Perry.

It talks directly and practically to issues like these, and says with food and clothing we should be content. That includes not only concerning ourselves, but also concerning charities or the government, as we shouldn't be giving beyond those parameters, neither are we required to.

Not that the government should be involved with charity or handouts. But I just include the government because that's the misguided reality at this time.

That's not to say an individual or charity can't give beyond these necessities, just that there is absolutely no imperative from God to, and many times it does more harm than good.

The more Perry talks, the more he in fact does appear to be a big-government man intent on continuing on the misguided policies of this administration if he is voted into office.

What about cutting spending and the size of government don't most of the Republican candidates get? Perry obviously doesn't get it. Ron Paul and Michelle Bachmann seem to be the only two that really do within the field.
