Rick Perry's Tenth Amendment hypocrisy

His cries to the contrary notwithstanding, GOP presidential frontrunner Rick Perry doesn't give a shit about the Tenth Amendment - or the Constitution overall.

"You either have to believe in the Tenth Amendment or you don't," Perry has been quoted as saying. "You can't believe in the Tenth Amendment for a few issues and then [for] something that doesn't suit you say, 'We'd rather not have states decide that.'" But guess what? He's doing exactly that!

Perry supports the national so-called "right-to-work" bill proposed by fascist Sen. Jim DeMint. In other words, Perry only supports state autonomy when it suits him.

So-called "right-to-work" laws are unconstitutional even without the Tenth Amendment argument. Many states have these union-busting laws, and they're unconstitutional because they violate individual rights - particularly freedom of assembly. What I'd like to see is a national free-bargaining law that strengthens individual rights by eradicating work-for-less laws.

Perry also backs the right-wing Federal Marriage Act, which would bar states from legalizing gay marriage.

Rick Perry and the rest of the Republican establishment are not about the Constitution or personal liberty. At all. The modern GOP is a fraud.
