October 1st Governor Rick Perry was the primary speaker at an event sponsored by
Ovide Lamontagne (on the right) In Manchester, New Hampshire. Lamontagne, a candidate for Governor of New Hampshire, who is high on Newsmax's most coveted candidates endorsement list, bought Rick a UNH football hoodie, with the '12 on the back. UNH also happens to be the Alma Mater of my friend Lynne Roberts, who attended the function. Lynne, I'm told, got in the best comment of the afternoon. She told Perry, and the crowd, that she was tired of people hammering Rick Perry for saying he doesn't support a fence. Lynne had talked to her son, who is an Army officer, recently back from Afghanistan, who agreed that a fence fosters a false sense of security. Lynne's son was a fire support officer, who rained down the wrath of God on those who needed the wrath of God rained down on them. He told Lynne that fences can be tunneled under, cut through and climbed over. He relied on drones and boots on the ground. And said (wait for it) "Not even the Great Wall of China kept the barbarians out." All along the border states we know this to be a very true statement. Every few days/weeks we get another article about the border patrol finding a tunnel that has been dug under in an area where there is a fence.The most touching thing Lynne told me was Governor Perry took time to say "tell your son thank you for serving our country."
Lynne and her husband Jon felt that after listening to an untimed speech, looking into Governor Perry's eyes and shaking his hand they had met a true American Patriot that would always put honor and country first. be ###
