Leftists do us a great favor by attempting to bludgeon the Republicans they are truly afraid of.

“One way to understand Ted Cruz’s foreign policy, particularly if you are a Democrat, is through the prism of the social media phenomenon known as trolling. The best trolls are provocateurs. Their language is meant to expose a fallacy or weakness in the opponent’s position as opposed to offering a constructive alternative.”

The author does a poor job supporting and defining his assertion that Cruz ‘trolls’. And I’m sure Cruz could offer 15 constructive alternatives to the Marxist’s policies.

What a hack!

Mohammed Morsi & the muslim brotherhood were clearly Obama's choice to lead Egypt's new islamic government!

But they Egyptians were having none of that! ...another setback for Obama!

Despite a veritable hailstorm of left-wing articles attacking Ted Cruz to undermine his potential presidential aspirations, Ted Cruz consistently satisfies; he has yet to put a foot down wrong.

It should be said that officially the Obama administration did not choose any candidates in the presidential elections to succeed Mubarak. But after the Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohammed Morsi won the election, Obama and his top officials rarely criticized Morsi’s human-rights abuses.
++++
In this case we need a new definition of “officially”. If we here on FR could see the MB lined up to seize power in Egypt one would think that Obama had the resources to both see it and to facilitate it. And he did. Fortunately General Sisi came along and spoiled the Obama-Muslim Brotherhood soup.

breaking news that Mariam Yehya Ibrahim, the Sudanese woman who faced a death sentence for leaving the Muslim faith

I got this far and quit reading. I don't willingly read liberal spin.

Like Dershowitz said, he’s “off-the-charts brilliant.” You’ll never see that written of a RINO.

Wasn’t she going to be executed for leaving Islam or was it something else?

When Cruz becomes president, if any nation screws with us, he should level the place - daisycutters around the clock. No surgical strikes - just utter destruction. Then, we walk away.

She was raised a Christian by her Mother but her Brother said her Father was a muslim so she was a muslim. He had her arrested twice. He's a muslim. She didn't know her Father.

She was raised a Christian. She was never Islamic, so she couldn’t leave a faith she never had. Some of her extended family are of the religion of pieces and wanted her dead because she was always different.

A hit piece as payback for Cruz outing Bammy’s political suspension of air travel to Israel.

If Ted Cruz is not on the 2016 ballot, I will write his name in & vote for HIM.
