local boy makes good

Here's a fella who was born into a "Christian family in Amarillo, TX in 1964". And he rose from those humble beginnings to run for Governor of the Great State of Texas. He's challenging Rick Perry for the Republican nomination. Here are some of his positions:

• Execution for crime of murder including abortion.
• Execution for crime of adultery.
• Execution for crime of homosexual acts.
• 1-40 lashes for crime of maliciousness, like graffiti, porn, strip clubs.
• Eliminate TX budget for government indoctrination of children. (public education).
• Texas should secede because the US has sealed its doom.
• Illegal immigrants should receive a minimum punishment of five lashes, $3,000 fine & deportation.

If those punishments sound familiar, it's because he lifts them directly from the pages of the Pentateuch. He cites chapter and verse. It's hard to believe that this guy is for real, since his site reads like a parody posted by Prodigal Son. But the Dallas Morning News apparently thinks so.

At least he's not one of those hypocritical, backsliding RINOs.
