Rick Perry’s Private American History
Are there any Tea Party Republicans who actually know American history? After last night’s GOP debate, wingnut extraordinaire Rick Perry once again revealed the shocking ignorance that lies beneath all the patriotic posturing: Rick Perry Mixes Up Dates of American Revolution.
…actually the reason that we fought the revolution in the 16th century was to get away from that kind of onerous crown if you will.
Yes, he really did miss the date by two centuries. “Lame” doesn’t even begin to describe this.
Much mockery ensued on Twitter.
