1) He’s a good Christian who supports banning gay-marriage and abortion. He would like to see Creationism taught along side Evolution in schools (although he supposedly thinks the government shouldn't have a role in education...)
2) He has created a lot of jobs, and will (somehow) create millions more once he becomes president.
3) He wants to keep government spending and federal regulations to a minimum (advocates for smaller government).
4) He has cut a lot of taxes (property & small business).
5) He is really into defense and securing our borders.
He doesn't sound too bad so far I guess.
6) He does not believe that humans are causing climate change, thus does not support spending for new technology/research for alternative energy and such. He also claims that scientists falsify information (because of an agenda to get money for projects) to spread the lie that we are causing global warming.
7) He once signed an executive order that required young girls to get the HPV vaccine (it didn’t go through).
8) He wants to save spending by putting a freeze on all regulations (like those of the FDA and EPA for example).
It gets worse:
8) He is highly funded by the oil companies.
9) He met with the Bilderberg group, which from what I’ve gathered is made up of international banking and corporate elitists who supposedly have secret plans to make major changes such as creating a union between Canada, U.S., and Mexico, and even a “New World Order”. These could be mere conspiracies, but I would not call them impossibilities.
10) The reason for number 7 above - he received money, as a lobbying effort, from the pharmaceutical company marketing the vaccine. He has reversed his stance now that he is running for president (a lot of Christians were unhappy with his previous actions, but now they see how he was just concerned for humanity, and he made a mistake by signing the order, so he will still have their vote).
11) He talks about creating a lot of jobs and keeping government small, but he’s created twice as many public jobs as private jobs.
12) His “moratorium on all regulations” could really hurt us – here’s what it said on thinkprogress.org:

ThinkProgress’ Brad Johnson writes about Rick Perry’s Tea Party-esque call for a halt to all federal regulations:
“We’re sending out a request today asking President Obama to put a moratorium on all regulations,” Perry said on WHO radio in Iowa, recorded live by ThinkProgress.8) He is highly funded by the oil companies.

Under such a moratorium, the Food and Drug Administration would stop approving new drugs and preventing human experimentation; the USDA would stop checking for food safety; the EPA would stop monitoring for poisons in drinking water; the Library of Congress would stop loaning materials to blind people; the NTSB would stop investigating airplane accidents; HHS would end Medicare payments; no more patents, copyrights, or trademarks would be issued; DHS would stop protecting chemical facilities from terrorist attacks; the Treasury would stop printing currency; financial sanctions on hostile nations like North Korea and Iran would end; and the Federal Reserve System would shut down.

Getting scared yet? I am. The more information I’m looking up about this guy, the more fake and ultimately threatening I find him to be. He seems to be getting pushed through the mainstream right-wing media and people could very well be inclined to vote for him. On his campaign site it says everything he wants to do, but does not explain how he is going to do anything, which is rather frightening. All it says is how he can create jobs, cut taxes, cut spending, and increase security. As far as healthcare – he thinks in order to get everyone healthcare, jobs must be created so more people can take advantage of employer sponsored health insurance. Another thing that I read on his campaign page that bothered me was the phrase, “peace through strength”.
I may have only barely scratched the surface with my research, but from what I’ve seen so far, I’m terrified. I’m terrified that this guy will become president, and some really bad things will happen. I believe this man isn’t honest, and I believe he has a lot to hide. I’m not buying what he’s selling – he’s a dirty politician, and clearly his whole image is a façade. It has even been said that he is a “pseudo-Tea Partier” (he just wants the tea-party followers’ votes) and just another puppet controlled by the higher international powers. He’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing – he could look good to many conservatives on the surface, but upon deeper investigation, this guy could make some drastic changes happen for the worse, and we could all be in really deep shit before we know it. Look at history – things like this have happened before. What we don’t see as a threat could suddenly creep up on us and change our lives forever; we must not let ourselves be fooled.
Maybe I’m just super paranoid, overreacting, and crazy, but I honestly think we need to wake up and realize we’re not in dreamland; this is real danger we are facing. Please do the research – see the link I posted above, find out more on your own and make the call for yourself – the right information is out there, we just have to dig deep and wide to find the pieces and then connect them to create a bigger picture, and then collaborate on what that picture truly is.
Here is a link to a video (take it or leave it, it’s about conspiracies, still interesting, yet perhaps not entirely true as all conspiracies tend to be somewhat far-fetched…):

And remember - it’s better to have the illusion of danger than the illusion of safety.
