A comment about why Gov. Perry calls himself a Republican

I did not write this, it is from Statesman.com and even though I don't agree with it at all, it does pose some interesting points.

I would like to know why Rick Perry has a Republican Membership card when he speaks of Texas secession from the Federal Government. Wisconsin and illinois were the center of the press with the Lincoln and Douglas debates. Frederick Douglass was a non-citizend when he followed Lincoln and S.A. Douglas during the debates of keeping this Union together free or with slavery. From these debates secession was the next move when Lincoln was lected President 1860. Texas would not accept the leadership of the “Black Republican President Abraham Lincoln because of fear. This fear was the right to own human beings taken away as a state right to own human flesh as private property. Frederick Douglass did not like the direction the Republican Party was going and he wanted his people free and enfranchised with equal rights. Texas named Wisconsin the home of the Republican Party a belligerent because of the fugitive slave law not being enforced and the Radical Republicans. Frederick Douglass worked with Lincoln during some very tough times while his brothers were in the chains of slavery and the black Union soldiers captured returned to slavery. Frederick Douglass and the late president Abrham Lincoln became two of the utmost great Americans making the Constitution a real document of freedom for all Americans. These men were at the forefront of the formation of the Republican party and restoring common sense about the Constitution being a document to forever make Americans free. It was not a document for the lobbyist or corporate donors but a document Americans would have the right to decide our freedoms at the ballot box. The Republican Party along with Republican Frederick Douglass made the Constitution about individual rights and not a document of corporate America. We have turned into a document of campaign donations, political pacts, bought and purchased elected political leaders. (State and Federal) How does Lincoln fit in Perry’s election to be President as the Party that restored the constitution a document for the people and by the people. I don’t think all these men died to make it a document of corporate America. The Tea Party Express and so called would-be Republicans with the support of the U. S. Supreme Court and State Suprme Courts make it adocument for coporate America and that is a Socialist Capitalist document for corporations. Usurping the vote of the citizen at the ballot box.
