A little note dropped on me from my sister in Austin:

Here is a little teaser from the Observer article about the right-wing lunatic evangelicals who are organizing Perry’s “Response” day of fasting and prayer (and pandering, fund raising, polarizing, etc.) on Aug. 6:

Consider Alice Patterson. She’s in charge of mobilizing churches in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma for The Response. A field director for the Texas Christian Coalition in the 1990s, she’s now a significant figure in apostolic circles and runs a San Antonio-based organization called Justice at the Gate.

Patterson, citing teachings by Cindy Jacobs, Chuck Pierce and Lou Engle, has written that the Democratic Party is controlled by “an invisible network of evil comprising an unholy structure” unleashed by the biblical figure Jezebel.

Patterson claims to have seen demons with her own eyes. In 2009, at a prophetic meeting in Houston, Patterson says she saw the figure of Jezebel and “saw Jezebel’s skirt lifted to expose tiny Baal, Asherah, and a few other spirits. There they were—small, cowering, trembling little spirits that were only ankle high on Jezebel’s skinny legs.”

RE:"John, all they do is defer. AKA kick the can down the road. We need action now.
What do you think, 70% taxes on everything over $100k? Problem solved. We could do it tomorrow."

I'm all for it as long as I get to declare 12 million dependents.

Has to be two tiered. Cuts too so the money isn't just eaten up.
