Texas Governor Rick Perry fired up the noontime crowd at the Tea Party rally in Austin today, suggesting at one point Texans might support seceding from the union.
Perry was one of many speakers at what was billed as the 'don't mess with Texas tea party.'
“When we joined the union in 1845, one of the issues was that we would be able to leave if we decided to do that,” Perry told reporters following the event. “My hope is that America and Washington in particular pays attention.
We got a great union. There is absolutely no reason to dissolve it, but if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, who knows what may come of that. Texas is a very unique place. We are a pretty independent lot to boot.”
Perry also blasted a Department of Homeland Security report warning of the danger of ‘right wing extremism.’
“I have no idea who that numbskull was who wrote that, but you probably can’t find him at the Department of Homeland Security today. He’s probably in deep hiding.”
