yeah I definitely agree that he just forgot that, when speaking in terms of centuries, you add, not subtract. as much as I dislike him I’m going to assume he knows when the revolutionary war was.

16th century, 18th century, probably an honest mistake. Haven’t heard him speak much but seems like he other wise knows what he’s talking about.

I wouldn’t go too hard on him for this. Look at Obama’s “57 states” or dating his signature “2008” in 2010. People misspeak, and politicians are no exception. It happens. Putting the Revolutionary War in the 16th century instead of the 18th doesn’t necessarily prove that Perry’s an idiot. What does prove that he’s an idiot is the fact that he thinks the modern Tea Party and its candidates bears the slightest resemblance whatsoever to the original Founding Fathers.

Yes, He is right and according to Tea Party members, God created the universe in the 15th century.

The 16th Century American Civil Revolution, is the one where Abraham Washington led a Tea Party revolt (at Little Big Horn) and the founding fathers poured oil into the Hudson river to free the slaves from the English. Everybody who can’t read knows that.

HOT YELLA KOOL-AID

Wait, working with a 6,000 year perspective, shouldn’t things be contracted rather than expanded?

The educational system in Texas is ranked near the bottom. Rick Perry is clearly a product of said system.
Next he will be speaking about the World Wars of the 21st century. You know, WWI and WWII.
Texas, a hot bed of retarded Americans.
