The final point in the Cruz Doctrine is that the U.S. military should not be asked to help birth democratic societies.
Third, we should get the heck out, he said. It is not the job of the U.S. military to engage in nation building to turn foreign countries into democratic utopias.
THIS MAN GETS IT !!!
I like this guy.
sounds very good indeed....
let’s hope we survive the next 21 months so we have opportunity to fix WashDC (and get the govt out of suppressing the American economy and jobs for American citizens)
“Overwhelming force”’is an expression that has all but disappeared from the Executive Office lexicon since Obie’s election.
Meanwhile, Walker is likely evolving an opinion. Jeb is somewhere babbling something in Spanish, while Paul is calling his dad.
Go Ted go! Use that “overwhelming force” to utterly exterminate every last vestige of islam (satan’s “religion”) from the planet! The cancer of muhammadism can’t be tolerated in any form, it must be completely eradicated everywhere without mercy, giving no quarter. Restore America’s Biblical foundation!
Sounds a lot like my concept, except I add in a point between #1 and #2 where you overtly threaten the bad actors prior to actually obliterating them.
And then add a #4: Lather, rinse, repeat. This is important because it’s going to take a few tries before it sinks in that we as a country are serious, based on our recent history. It’s going to take a few passes through the model before the rest of the world understands that when we get to “threaten”, they’d better make corrective action before we move to “obliterate”.
So, my model is:
1. Articulate the U.S. national interest at stake
2. Give an ultimatum to those acting against that interest
3. Use overwhelming force to remove those acting against that interest
4. Get out
5. Repeat to the point where you never have to get past #2 again
Cruz does get it and it’s not the first time he has espoused these ideas. He is out in front of rest of the pack of sometimes and faux conservative contenders.
Ignore the polls and Rove propaganda machine; he is the one to get behind.
I have a tear in my eye I am so happy...!
Number 3 is the killer.
That is twice now today that he has taken what the low information voter would see as the moderate position, which is actually the conservative position http://thehill.com/policy/technology/240383-cruz-stakes-out-spot-in-2016-patriot-act-fight . Excellent positioning to dispell the right-wing crazy narrative.
I don't see that they have a choice:)
We spend more on the military than almost all the other countries combined.
Yes yes but the liberal wing of FR doesn’t want that. They want Flip, Rand and Rubio.
So thats likely what we will get.
His professors didn’t call him brilliant as a joke.
Once again Sen. Cruz is out front clearly describing his principles and intentions. Bravo.
Many of Rand’s former supporters and those of his father have already gone over to Cruz. Do you want to see the links?
Now let’s make him president.
I don’t need to. I came out of hibernation after seeing two solid weeks of threads invaded by right wing liberals trashing him. So I’m confident that there is a large contingent here working actively against him just as they did and still do against Palin.
