An endless struggle with Obama's "Socialist" Agenda

Texas Governor Rick Perry is being praised universally all over the Rightosphere for having delivered the most passionate and inspiring speech of the weekend at SRLC. Some have even suggested he upstaged his close friend and political ally Sarah Palin.

Perry made some news on a possible 2012 presidential run, telling Hotline:

"I'm not running. I'm not in. I don't know how many times I have to tell people that."

The Dallas Morning News describes his speech:

All of the speakers put the pedal-to-the-metal with the anti-Washington message, but Perry's performance was animated and seemed to impress the larger Republican audience.

He exhorted the GOP to be the proud party of "no," especially given Washington's direction. Because Republicans, he said, know what government's role is: "It's as servant, not as master. It is as protector, not as provider."

At one point Perry made a point of referring to Obama's agenda as explicitly Socialist. From the first half of his speech:

"The citizens... they're being told today that Big Daddy government have all the answers... The role of government is as searvant, not as master... there's this endless struggle going on, between the left and the right, the conservatives and the liberals, between socialism and democracy."
