Steyn: One Person Can Change Everything and ‘I Like Ted Cruz’
Breitbart TV ^ | October 21, 2014

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

Mark Steyn, author of “The Undocumented Mark Steyn,” argued that culture is more important than elections, and that he liked Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) as someone who could shift American politics to the right in an appearance on Tuesday’s “Hannity” on the Fox News Channel.

Steyn stated “vision’s the important part. What's actually happening is that the kind of model of the social democratic welfare dependency state since the Second World War has run out of gas. It's over, and to persuade people to move off that model actually requires you to have a conversation with the people and change minds,” which he added goes beyond elections.

According to Steyn, providing a vision is important because “a lot of people don't want to think about complicated issues or unpleasant issues. They don't want to think about Islam. They don't want to think about massive debt that will cripple their children's lives, and liberals are very good at just giving them a kind of cute slogan that says this slogan will get you through it. ‘Coexist.’ You put a ‘coexist’ bumper sticker on your car you don’t have to think about problems of the world anymore.”(continued)

Ted is the only one with the guts to say what needs to be said.

Pretty narrow field of people who actually propose and have the follow through to actually make those ideas a reality. Seems like the ‘front runner’ crowd is a field of ‘I’m not as awful as the Democrats.’ What a great message for our party.

Are you including Ted Cruz in that grouping?

I like Ted better than Ben Carson. However, I'd relish seeing and hearing the libtards bash Carson.

No. His actions speak louder than all the words of almost every 'front runner' who has been put forward for two decades.

There is one other......



But yes, Ted Cruz will fill the bill just as nicely.

How about a Cruz-Stein ticket?

I know.... But a man can dream can’t he?

Sarah is fine with me, but this place is full of Nervous Nellies who think that we are supposed to let the Left destroy conservatives with Alinsky’s rule #5.

I like Cruz/Palin, Cruz/Nikki Haley, Cruz/Martinez or Cruz/Kim Reynolds.

“Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”

What's even worse, is some of them consciously allow themselves to become infected with that leftist propaganda, and begin spouting the same sort of trash at our best and brightest.

That's got to be an enormous win for the enemies of the republic.

Ted is the only one with the guts to say what needs to be said.

And the will to do what needs to be done.

IMO, Ted Cruz is the smartest, most qualified man for the White house currently in politics. I will do everything I can to support him.

Both are the best. It could just as well be West-Cruz.

I received a personal email from Col. West thanking me for my encouragement, appreciation and support. I hope he runs.

Allen West and Trey Gowdy do a good job, too.
