Texas Urges EU To Take A Flying Leap

rick_perry.jpgNow that the Europeans have created a perfect society, they apparently think it’s time to start handing out unsolicited advice to Texas.

The EU expressed “great regret” at Texas’ preparations to carry out its 400th death penalty and renewed its call to the US to halt executions. The statement from the Portuguese presidency of the 27-nation bloc said: “The European Union strongly urges Governor Rick Perry to exercise all powers vested in his office to halt all upcoming executions and to consider the introduction of a moratorium in the state of Texas.”

Governor Perry, in true American form, told the EU to mind it’s own business.

“Two hundred and thirty years ago, our forefathers fought a war to throw off the yoke of a European monarch and gain the freedom of self-determination. Texans long ago decided the death penalty is a just and appropriate punishment for the most horrible crimes committed against our citizens. While we respect our friends in Europe … Texans are doing just fine governing Texas.” [source]

I don’t know much about Rick Perry, but I like this guy’s style.

    Andrew Riley is an idealist, a dreamer, and occasionally a real son-of-a-bitch. He spends his days webmastering this blog, writing for this blog, and more importantly filling his four year old son's head with silly nonsense. He is an Army veteran, a conservative Libertarian, and gets bored with most people pretty quickly. 4 out of 5 dentists agree that he is way cooler than you.
