The last time I looked the Civil Rights movement of the ’60s was about empowering the disenfranchised, particularly by ensuring that people of all ethnicities had the absolute right to vote. Today Gov. Rick Perry equated that struggle to the current efforts of right-wing, corporate-fellating serpents to lower taxes on business-owners and the corporate well-to-do. This, to him, is what American “freedom” is all about.
