GALLERY VIEWPOINT God called on to invade, blamed for oil spill God made the news again this week when Gov. Rick Perry sug- gested that, among other possibilities, He may have had a hand in the disastrous British Petroleum Gulf oil spill, which resulted in the deaths of 11 men and the potential destruction of hundreds of miles of coast. In a speech given in Washington, on Monday in which he cau- tioned people to avoid a knee-jerk reaction of halting drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, Perry suggested that “We don’t know what ... allowed for this massive oil to be released” and that “from time to time there are going to be things that occur that are acts of God that cannot be prevented,” according to The Associated Press. Naturally, opponents of Perry jumped on the opportunity to chastise the remarks in true, overblown political fashion. Accord- ing to the Austin American-Statesman, leading political consul- tant for the Texas Democratic Party Matt Angle retorted, “Perry’s point of view is bizarre and disrespectful. Would he claim that God oversaw coal mines in West Virginia, inspected brakes at Toy- ota or manned the bridge on the Exxon Valdez? There is no un- derstanding, no compassion and no accountability in Rick Perry crassly calling the BP oil disaster deaths and environmental ruin as an ‘act of God.’” Of course, it’s important to note Perry never directly called God out as the sole perpetrator in any of those recent tragic events, as Angle’s politically shrewd comment suggests. Other leading Texas Democrats took their digs at Perry as well, though in a decidedly less bombastic tone. Democratic Texas gu- bernatorial candidate Bill White authored a 10-page report in which he describes, in layman’s terms, what probably led to the Holistic education? More like sudden explosion, what the implications are and the importance of approaching off-shore drilling (which White supports) safely — by all accounts, a much more proactive approach to the catastro- phe than Perry’s backfiring attempt to assuage fear.
