Our Trauma Doesn’t Make Rick Perry a Nazi

If you read up on Governor Perry’s years in college, you came across that he was a “Yell Leader.” One of the uniforms used had brown boots; light pants; hunter-green shirt, with a light brown belt running across the chest. Take a look here at it.

At first look, Perry’s uniform reminded me of the Nazis, but then I noticed that I got the shivers last time I saw NYC Highway Patrolmen walking around with their shiny black boots. This made me pause a minute and to acknowledge once again that Jews went through a terrible trauma not that many years ago and the wounds are still with us. However, we cannot outlaw uniforms or black boots, nor shall we stereotype every time we see any of those. Furthermore, it will be a disgraceful act if anti-Perry forces will try playing on the fears of Jews by showcasing him in his Texas College uniform and claim that he is a secret Nazi sympathizer.

    It is so discouraging to read this stuff!! why in the name of all that is holy,
    would any person aspire to public office? I would love to know WHY nothing
    is written about BHO? That is except on conservative radio/tv(Fox only) Now
    that Glenn Beck is gone from Fox,not even that network is doing too much.
