Chuck Norris and wife Gina's dog whistle to GOP evangelical Christians.
More coherent than Clint Eastwood's GOP convention talking-points improv, but resorts to invoking Ronald Reagan-as-God, plus playing on fundamentalist Christian fears of victimization.
Also, notice how Chuck and Gina don't motivate viewers to vote for Mitt Romney, but against "1000 years of darkness" presumably resulting from Barack Obama being re-elected for four additional yearws.

New poem: SELF DEPORTATION
(thanks to Mitt for the title)
gonna leave the nation of hate
before it sends a 30-day notice
in the mail asking me
WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON?
ARE YOU WITH US OR THEM?
>
to be honest,
I'm with THEM
because they see
stars and rainbows
and cats and dogs
and men and men
and women and women
and men and women
all living together
not caring about what US say
>
gonna leave the nation of conditional love
(which isn't real love at all)
before the demagnetizer
enters my brain
and erases memories
of all those times
I didn't have to guess
what other people felt and thought--
I just knew
and they knew
I cared
no matter what
>
you can reach me on the other side
anytime you want
I'll throw you a tin can
with a long string
over the fence
so we can listen to each other speak
and be certain that
no one else is listening
to us
but us alone
.

Uh-oh: Steve "flat tax" Forbes endorses Rick "chasing Herman Cain's flat tax" Perry.

Safe to conjecture that this is the beginning of the end of Rick Perry in the GOP Presidential candidate
horse race.
And, somehow, this Don Henley song comes to mind (couldn't find Henley's version on YouTube, but here's a karaoke cover--be patient, intro lasts a minute):
