oped: All I have to say about this: 'Remember the Alamo' Texas rocks the other 49 states a lil weak to say the least!
Perry knows that America can be great.

Man, I have to tell you: What a difference! The last time Rick Perry ran (which, of course, was in 2012), he started out okay. The debates happened; we learned later that he was taking pain medication for surgery and so forth, and wasn’t quite himself.
