Agreed. I'll be contacting my state reps in the coming week.
Yes, he would make a great Supreme Court Justice, or as president he would have the knowledge and wisdom to pick the right Supreme Court justices.
We know what his fundamental convictions will be as we knew Ronald Reagan.
Any one can spout out great sounding speeches and wow the crowds, but it’s a totally different thing to know what the person’s convictions and values are.
Yep
This is also the perfect answer to those who advocate more gun control as a solution; those who expect perps bent on murder and robbery to worry about another minor-penalty law.
Wow, Cruz nails it on the Obamacare amendment.
As for gay marriage, why don’t they define Gay Marriage as “Gayrriage”? Or “Homoarriage?”
Keeping it as a SEPARATE definition preserves the notion that Marriage is ONLY BETWEEN 1 man & 1 woman.
Let them have their cute wedding ceremonies and wedding rings and hospital visitation rights and nothing more.
I think a primary reason they want “marriage” recognition is for spousal health care benefits, for which there will be a huge cost to society. It’s all about freebies.
I believe it is naive to think we can legislate away gayness. It’s not going away.
At this point I personally don’t care what the butt plumbers do in the privacy of their own homes even though I find it disgusting.
So your remedy would apparently be civil war.
Hey, I think I will stick with Cruz.
There are intelligent people who would argue that a Civil War, with us as the attacked, has already begin.
When the president, supposed to be president, lends support for those in Furgeson and Baltimore, how much different is than than Fr. Sumpter?
“...Congress’s backbone....”
Congress??? Backbone??? [crickets....]
Nope. Two words that don’t belong together.
Especially with the Boehner’s GOP-e in control.
The Court is ignoring the old laws and rules.
What makes you think they’re going to follow new laws and rules?
“That is unacceptable. On the substantive front, I have already introduced a constitutional amendment to preserve the authority of elected state legislatures to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman”
And he has the necessary super-majorities lined up in both houses, and/or the state legislatures? If not, is he actively working to obtain them? This is a gesture.
“How is tyranny to be restrained?
From the text of the Declaration of Independence:
“Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
This article is useful and I'd already shared it yesterday with a number of people from the original source before reading this today on Free Republic.
Please add me to that Cruz ping list. It's way too early for me to make a commitment, but a committed social conservative who can get support from the more secular parts of the conservative wing of the Republican Party is probably what we need. Being Texan and of Hispanic origin are added pluses, especially since the only way we can get enough of a majority in the Senate to actually remove Supreme Court justices, or even break the 60-vote filibuster needed to get new conservative justices appointed if a current justice dies or resigns, probably involves mobilizing Hispanics and blacks on the homosexual issue who usually vote Democrat.
You’ve been added to the Ted Cruz Ping List!
It is a high-volume ping list, and if it gets overwhelming, let me know, and I will switch you over to the Once Daily Ted Cruz Ping List!
Welcome aboard!
Bingo.
At some point people will realize that peaceful solutions are not going to be the answer.
I should have prefaced that latter point with: “at some point”
For those in the NSA who are reading along with us.
BTW, FU.
Name for us ONE "good government" that has ever been peacefully obtained from the grip of an oligarchy or a tyranny. JUST ONE.
when in the course of human events, it becomes necessary ......just a minute, gotta answer this text message, oh nevermind
I believe it would have even less chance now
it would be nice to go down swngin though...instead of with a whimper on a message board
ahahah
Thanks
I’m glad to see him in any of those positions.
You're outed as a Lyndenite!
(Grand Rapids and Holland on my end.)
Have a good day, Van der Publius!
