Rick Perry: Book I Wrote Last Year Does Not Reflect Current Views

Last year Rick Perry authored a book about modern American society and where, according to him, it all went wrong. In it, he talked about many things including how socialism is destroying America, how child labor laws, Medicare, Social Security, and nearly all social programs are illegal because they violate the Constitution. The book is a blueprint on how Perry views America and how he envisions it will look under his leadership.

He is so determined to get people to read his book and learn about his ideas for America that when asked on the campaign trail how he will fix things he routinely uses his book as a reference by stating, "get a copy and read it."

The only problem with all this is his blueprint for America is very unpopular.  No worries though.  As a Republican he is allowed to coexist in two different universes.  One is reality-- where you are currently reading this post and where Perry gets to write a book calling for the dismantling of the 20th century and smiles on teevee.  The other "alternate reality" is where Perry writes a book calling for the complete repeal of Social Security, child labor laws, Civil Rights Act, Medicare and many other programs and gets to pretend that his book "is not meant to reflect the governor’s current views."
