The Texas Political Continuum

There is the series of Texas politicians from past to present:  George Bush, Rick Perry, Ted Cruz, ????????

After examining that series, who or what goes into the fourth position of ???????? to continue the series:

A)  The Second Coming of Christ
B)  The current manager of the Houston Texans
C)  A three-legged dog

Of course it couldn't be A, the Second Coming of Christ, as Rick Perry thinks that already happened and he was the one.  It couldn't be B, the current manager of the Houston Texans, as the team doesn't have a manager.  So the correct answer is C, a three-legged dog.

Today Ted Cruz blocked access to a Texas health clinic:

HOUSTON - Just hours after the Affordable Care Act took effect, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) led a protest blocking the entrance of a health clinic in Houston giving out inexpensive flu shots. "As long as I have breath, I will do everything in my power to keep the American people free from the scourge of healthcare," Sen Cruz said. "Big government must not come between us and the flu virus."

It may well be that the three-legged dog is already active in Texas politics as the last sentence is a level of genius that most of us struggle to attain.

"Big government must not come between us and the flu virus."

After all, it's the right of all free Americans to get sick.

I have looked for the above on other news sources and have not been able to confirm that it actually happened.  It has been reported multiple times on Facebook but that crew is so non-discerning that you could run a story that Jesus is operating a taco stand on 10th Street and people would copy it to their Facebook friends as if it were truth.

The trick with propaganda is that it must always be something that 'might' be true.  Once that phony credibility is established, the story can be extended wherever you like.  For example, it's not credible in the above that Jesus ran a taco stand as Jesus didn't even like tacos.  However, it's credible that Cruz would have pulled the stunt at a health clinic because of all the other stupid things he has done.

The easy conclusion from the evidence of Cruz, Perry, etc is that all Texans are stupid but that's embarrassing to the ones who are not:

Houston Chronicle regrets its endorsement of Ted Cruz
