	"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Ted Cruz Ping!

If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.

Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!

[PapaNew]

Does Cruz get that the $4 trillion federal government is AT LEAST 80% too big and unconstitutional?

[Slings and Arrows]

Sounds like Cruz is talking about crony capitalism. If so, he's right.

GOP Must Help the Working Poor

To the feral gov’t:

“Get out of the way!”

***Cruz said, “We need to defend the Second Amendment” adding that, “In Texas, we define gun control as hitting what you’re aiming at.”***

Good one Senator! Count me in as being an advocate for ‘gen control’.

[ExCTCitizen]

Ted, you are 100% correct.

[RoosterRedux]

As Alan Dershowitz says of Cruz..."he is off the charts brilliant!"

I think we conservatives can hang our hats here.

Sarah Palin said something similar:

This is really the heart of the issue, The super rich don’t mind big Government because they can afford to not only move their wealth around but buy the lobbyist they need to insure that this government bureaucracy works for them.

It is the poor and middle class who always suffer the real repressive consequences as it is theses people who can nether afford to move their money or buy lobbyist leaving them victims of a regulatory and entitlement state that not only robs them of their wealth and freedom but also their ambition and drive as well.

I have seen too many great people fall into a life of perpetual misery and worthlessness because the Government basically payed them to stay there. Like it or not we humans are creatures of the path of least resistance. If we can lie and live without work many if not most of us will. It is those people who’s own natural instinct drive them into perpetual poverty and dispare.

The Socialists and Communist insiders always do well. It’s the lemmings that foolishly suffer.
