Agree, mrsmith.
I don’t even know these Cruz supporters and they made and make assumptions about me that are outright lies. It’s mind boggling. I have been insulted by so many Cruz supporters on FR for supporting Trump and because of my screen name, which they absolutely hated. I have been called a “bitch,” “whore,” ect. I had to literally take breaks from FR and go into my prayer closet with the Lord about what was happening. It was disgusting.
Cruz supporters hated me posting anything that made Cruz look badly. Yet, they trashed Trump non-stop. That’s hypocritical.
And, I don’t live in India like the “Consistent Conservatives” say. They saw me posting informative articles as an Army Officer who was on leave during the Christmas holiday with my family. But they made insulting remarks about my service and gender. What is wrong with them???
And, I am NOT a “Clintonite either.” As an uninformed woman who grew up in the 80’s and one who used to be a Democrat, my whole race and family thought Clinton did a better job as President for Blacks than Obama. I’m not backing away from that. That does not mean, however, that I support the abuse of women by Clinton, some in which I was not aware of. But, who are Cruz supporters to judge me? They need to look in the mirror at themselves.
I pray for those who want “group think” because I will not participate in it. That’s exactly what Blacks did and was criticized for it. I have my own opinions and a candidate I have chosen to support. I really don’t understand what these Cruz supporters want???
I sincerely hope you were tagging me on that because mrssmith was replying to me. I do not appreciate being tarred with whatever brush you are currently wielding. I have never called you any of the names you listed.
I could care less who are in your personal life. But if you post something that is factual incorrect about any Republican candidate I will continue to respond with the truth.
I cannot speak for Cruz or for all Cruz supporters but I can speak for me.
You have served our country in its military forces and achieved the rank of captain. No one gave that to you. You earned it.
You were born female and have nothing to ashamed of on that score any more than I should apologize for being male.
People who descend to the level of calling women "bitch" or "whore" rather than engage in rational argument humiliate themselves and are entitled to no attention except as a preliminary to arranging for them to ride the lightning.
If you and I were acquainted, I feel sure that we would have areas of disagreement. Go, team! That's part of our freedom for which you fought or were willing to fight. And discussing your choice, if you choose to dos so. is also part of our freedom which you stood ready to defend.
If people calling you a "Clintonite" are making a racial presumption, they should be ashamed of themselves. Some lacks have always been Republican. Even more blacks have been social and military conservatives. People like Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams understand, as Milton Friedman once observed, that capitalism is a level playing field for everyone and no dollar that ever came into his possession ever asked first if he was a Jew, only whether his competence and diligence had earned that dollar. I look forward to a day when we can clear the GOP-E out of the way and treat each person with respect and convince many who are now Democrats to become, most importantly, conservative and consequently willing to vote Republican.
Thomas Sowell used to be an actual communist party member until he changed his ideology. Most founding editors of National Review who were recruited by ill Buckley were actual communists at some stage of their lives, most of whom defected to conservatism after WW II.
As a Cruz supporter, but more importantly, as an American, I wish you every success and that you choose whatever candidate, in your own judgment would do the best job for our country and its institutions and work as hard as you know how to elect that candidate. If that candidate is Donald Trump, I shall not presume to deride your choice. You are every bit as entitled to make it as I am to choose Cruz and probably a bit more so since you are a veteran and I am not.
If Trump is nominated, I will very likely vote for him, but I would feel a lot better about it if he would explain his specific policy positions much more clearly as he has on immigration, guns, VA policy ad a few others.
In any event, may God bless you and yours abundantly and thanks for being an important part of FR!
BFAC, I have seen you take way more than your fair share of the vituperative pure hate from those opposing and deriding the things you’ve posted. You’ve been personally ridiculed and criticized and called out as a liar and phony. Hang in there. Your posts have been very valuable contributions to this site.
Your one of the good one here imo and you sure do take a lot of abuse and remain standing tall. It does not go unnoticed.
Wow. The worst thing that I’ve been called so far is a ‘liberal’ and ‘evil’.
YOU got blasted, is what you got. I was stunned they were taken down here and there, but never zotted. It was outrageous the liberty they were allowed against you.
I see your complaint. Let us begin by understanding that I am, by and large, a Trump supporter. I’m on your side.
Here’s why I took issue with you.
Your response to one of my (rather gentle, BTW) challenges of one of your comments, was to rebuke me, pull scripture, and imply I was an evil man.
That’s not acceptable behavior.
JimRob has granted you a perma-pass. That means unacceptable behavior might not earn you a banning. That’s cool, I kinda have one myself. But between you and me, pulling scripture (which I revere and love) is not the same as a response to an intellectual challenge.
I am not evil. I am not someone to be rebuked, or told to get behind thee.
I still am miffed that you did those things... especially since we were supposed to be allies.
