CRUZ or LOSE!Posted on 04/19/2015 2:29:39 PM PDT by VinL
On Friday, the New York Times stated, in a blaring headline, that my support for Second Amendment rights is “strange.” In particular, the writer took issue with my statement that “”the Second Amendment to the Constitution isn’t for just protecting hunting rights, and it’s not only to safeguard your right to target practice. It is a constitutional right to protect your children, your family, your home, our lives, and to serve as the ultimate check against governmental tyranny — for the protection of liberty.”
In addition to “strange,” the NYT described this view as “ridiculous,” “silly,” and “absurd” (methinks the Old Gray Lady doth protest too much). The writer, the lead editor for the Times’ editorial page, continued, “I just don’t get the argument on constitutional or historical grounds.” Perhaps this will help. Let’s survey some other “silly” people who have embraced this heretical understanding of our liberties.

CRUZ or LOSE!bttt
Cruz semper fidelis to the Constitution.
What good are ANY of the amendments if the citizens do not retain the means to ‘change the government’...
The 2nd Amendment puts teeth in all the rest.
TJ and most of the rest of out FFs would be imprisoned for their agricultural practices alone today.
Progressives are dishonest, feigning ignorance of the meaning of words. Waste no time in attempting to educate them. It is better to deal with them harshly, as you would a disobedient child.
As always, Ted Cruz is right. But why is he the only one in the country who knows these quotes? Why are generations of Americans so ignorant of the great gift that the Founders gave us in the Second Amendment? The answer: GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS
Now, wouldn’t you love to see a debate between Ted Cruz and Mrs. Bill Clinton? Of course, when he would wipe the floor with that tired hag, the Democrat media would howl about him bullying a grandma!
CRUZ OR LOSE !
I would love to see a debate between the candidates, the subject for debate being the meaning of the founding documents, the Bill of Rights, etc... This would tell you all you need to know about a candidate.
Yep.
It looks like this...
.
;)
I would love to see the Presidetial debates on Fox. Megyn Kelly, Kim Gilfoyle and Juan Williams.
Would love to see Juan stick it to the libs the same way they stuck it to him.
Lots of people who heard the speech or read the National Review article will be at a loss due to the big words used:
tyranny, constitutional, heretical, magnitude, formidable, constitute, pretense, palladium, usurpation, etc.
These words are not taught in school anymore.
IMHO, politicians today would be smart to plan/write their speeches to appeal to no more than a sixth grade mentality. And isn’t that a shame?
Dayum, Son! Fire in the hole, NYT!
“Would love to see Juan stick it to the libs the same way they stuck it to him.”
You mean by firing him?
Because he is one of them, politically.
Yes, a debate anywhere that would be less biased would be great. Cruz will do good anywhere he is allowed to participate, IMO.
I think Sen. Cruz is just trying to goad NYT into a reply, so as to keep the controversy going. Fighting for Constitutional principles against the Times is good politics.
