The Left always lets you know who they fear the most:

America loving Americans.

Ted Cruz.

Maybe this exchange between Cruz and an angry farmer would interest this writer.

Nah.

[ozzymandus]

I tried to read this, I really did. All I came away with was a lot of garbled snark. Who wrote this crap? Not an American.

[Cololeo]

No bias there!

Dr Byron: nice clipboard, nurse!

Nurse Lovejoy (thinks: see anything else you like, handsome?) says: Dr Byron! What are you doing, here in the ICU?

Dr Byron: Name, Cincinatus Wife. Not my patient, just an online friend from back in the day. Want to make sure she hasnt seen any polls since the Republican debate. Trump did well, that could prompt a relapse.

Nurse Lovejoy: But doctor she buzzed me a few minutes ago, asking for the Union Leader. I took it to her room!

Dr Byron: What! Outta my way!

THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP (sound of door crashing open)

Dr Byron: Cincy? CINCY! NOOOOOOOOOOO

Cruz missed a perfect opportunity to seal the deal with Paul voters/libertarians by saying he would abolish Selective Service and require a full Declaration of War before fighting, carpet bombing and winning one.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Remember the 2012 libertarian force in Iowa?

Ted Cruz's Quiet Coup in Iowa

They were there on Iowa Caucus night for Ted Cruz.

That article gives the history. Very good read.

Interesting. Thanks for posting.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

You’re very welcome.

[John Valentine]

Now I know what REAL snark looks like. Thanks for that CW!

I cannot see Cruz sitting at the UN talking to world leaders, or flying to England, to Germany, or to Japan, he would lock horns with the Japanese and piss off the Chinese.

No, i do admit the man knows his way in Washington but i honestly feel he lacks international diplomacy.

He comes off to me more as a blackmailer than a negotiator.

[Theophilus]

The Selective Service/Draft attack on our daughters at the debate made me sick to my stomach. I’d rather die than let the statists have my daughters.

Donald Trump runs down China, Japan, and Mexico during campaign kickoff speech.

Yep, here are people buying into the politically correct, feminist agenda who are SUPPOSED to be the alternative party to left-wing social engineering. Unfortunately Cruz didn’t get to answer it.

Cruz would consider restoring combat ban for women as president

Its different now, you get respect by being the warrior, by taking the first strike.

All that butt and hand kissing by Obama didn’t pan out very well.

Trump would have made a a good Japanese warrior, he fights with honor. Bushido.

“In 2012, 121,354 Republicans caucused in Iowa, setting a new record and helping propel Rick Santorum to a narrow victory over eventual nominee Mitt Romney. On Monday, according to estimates by Edison Research, 185,000 Republicans turned out, 46 percent of them attending their first GOP caucus. The large number and influx of first-time voters was widely expected to help Donald Trump, “but that was not how things went, raising the prospect that some of the voters who turned out were interested in stopping Mr. Trump, instead of propelling him to victory,” says Maggie Haberman at The New York Times.....”

Bushido didn't have many friends among my dad's veterans' circle who fought in the Pacific War. One flew with the Flying Tigers, another acquaintance (a Louisiana legislator) was in the Bataan Death March.

No love lost there.

“Cute but sinister rebel firebrand” is actually a pretty good epithet. Cruz should run with it!

[conservativegamer]

so much bile. so much snark. I bet this liberal and his little liberal friends huddle around laughing about “evil” ted and all the dumb hick conservatives out there.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

I know.

The nationalists and the socialists see Ted Cruz as "sinister" and "nasty."

: )

Bernie Sanders = SOCIALISM ------ Ted Cruz = REPUBLICANISM ------
Donald Trump = NATIONALISM

[Tax-chick]

Daniel Greenfield’s most recent article makes some relevant points, although he doesn’t mention individuals. If Ted Cruz in any kind of rebel, he’s the kind that wants to go back to letting people take personal responsibility for their lives.
