It’s getting weird and hairy in the Republican camp. It is turning on itself. You have Rick Santorum affirming Bruce Jenner’s desire to be a girl, and now you have none other than Rick Perry telling Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, and the entire Infowars crew to calm down:

Former Texas governor Rick Perry drew the sharpest contrast with Abbott’s Infowars pandering.

“It’s OK to question your government. I do it on a regular basis,” he said on May 5, per the Dallas Morning News. “But the military is something else. Our military is quite trustworthy. The civilian leadership, you can always question that, but not the men and women in uniform.” 

Now I’m not saying that Rick Perry has regained his senses. He still genuflects to the mighty military in true goose-step form. But I think it’s funny that he gets to be the voice of reason here. I fully expect this circular firing squad to continue. Stay tuned.
