It's been pretty silent since you asked the question. Can't wait to see the reply.

Getting tired of being lectured about the evils of derivatives by people who don't even understand what notional value is.

Government regulation and spending won't crash the monetary system but Goldman Sachs will. Wonder if these guys occupied Wall Street?

He never did tell me if I should worry about my sports bet with a notional value of $2 billion.

I lost track of Ann when she first went cuckoo, I guess she hasn't recovered.

He won't admit it, but your simple question made him realize he doesn't know squat about the subject he's pretending to understand.

I don't get Ann or why she went off the deep end. What compels her to offer an opinion on everything? She's become so focused on selling books that accuracy doesn't matter anymore. With guys like these buying her books and swallowing everything she says, it's no wonder she does what she does. Maybe she swapped spit with PCR.

Ah, yes, 15-20 year FReeper veterans are the trolls and newbies like you who tout a serial flip-flopper like Trump are the "real" conservatives.

OK, I give up. You caught us. You cracked the code.

Our attempts to point out all of Trump's inconsistencies and character flaws have all been part of a larger decades long effort to secretly help our GOPe overlords take over FreeRepublic.

“Donald Trump has the exact coalition the Republican Party, to a man, has told me they need to win, that they need to thrive,” Limbaugh said. “And now they’re reduced to bashing it by virtue of bashing Trump. And now they’re reduced to bashing it by virtue of bashing Cruz.

The two people who are showing the Republican Party all they had to do all these past seven years, but they didn’t. They purposely, strategically, tactically refused to push back, refused to make a spectacle of stopping Obama, and they have themselves to blame for this predicament.”

Well said Rush.

Cruz is currently polling around 17% nationally. Let’s say that that number holds true in Rush’s audience. Heck I’ll be generous let’s double it, 34%.

How does alienating 66% of his audience promote the cause of conservatism? How does putting himself out of business promote conservatism?

Rush is not endorsing Trump, he is just stating his observation.
Trump gathered the harvest with truths no one else wanted to address. (racist, bigot, homophobe, sexist)

So anyone who builds a coalition is Obama now?

No, just progressive populists who build coalitions of people who claim to be conservative, but in actuality are closet big government statists themselves.

it amazes me how your and your fellow Cruztians see everyone as a closet big government statist. If we are deep cover moles who hid out on FR for 10+ years just for this moment, then our infiltration was done so well and so thoroughly that you can’t possibly win.

It’s not 1988 anymore. The world changed. America changed. Smart people adapt principles to the existing conditions. You just keep closing your eyes, covering your ears, and chanting “yayaya” and hoping that when you open them again, it will be 1989.

We don't think you're moles. We think you're delusional.

And I am not necessarily a Cruz supporter. I will support the most conservative candidate who can win. That is not Trump, who fails on both counts.

LOL. I read your posts on other threads. You are a Cruztian.

The fact that you alternate between accusing us of being “closet big government statists” ( and since I’ve been here for more than a decade would definitely mean that I am a deep cover mole) or calling us stupid or delusional is the mark of a full bore Cruztian.

Your guy offers nothing to change our mind so you just make silly claims. His accomplishments are just a list of windmills he tilted at.

I am not so much pro-Cruz (although of those still in the race, I believe he is one of the better choices) as I am anti-Trump.

Trump is not a conservative. Trump is not a Republican. Trump is not the antidote to Obama's big government excess, and government encroachment on our lives. Trump is more of the same. Trump is hope and change, with a fence.

dear louD,

I am a Nativist, proud and strong.
Alas, I cannot be a ‘white’ anything, because I am a half-breed.
I did espouse some of the Libertarian ideology, and was a registered Libertarian here in Louisiana, which lumped Libertarians into the ‘other’ can, between the R can, the D can, and the ‘other’ can.
I do believe the ‘war on drugs’ is being handled inefficiently, since no drug dealers caught on the street with the stuff on their person or possession are immediately shot and dispatched.
I do not espouse the Ron-Rand Paul foreign policy of isolationism/9-11 happened because of our involvement.

Now, if you cannot swallow that, too bad.

A fence is the necessary first step. Without serious immigration control, the demographic shift will end any hope for a conservative future.

Old people on SS are “big government statists”
Millennials are “big government statists”
Kids are taught to be “big government statists”
People who owe huge college debts are “big government statists”
People who are underemployed due to outsourcing are “big government statists”
The unemployed are “big government statists”

Can you see the problem here?

The government has become their livelihood, their safety net, and the only consistent thing they can see.

Now we are adding millions of poor, uneducated foreigners to the mix to compete for their welfare and for the low-paying crappy jobs that are all they can get.

Cloward -Piven has been underway for decades and is almost done. How do you plan to fix all that with a guy that mumbles and whines and can’t even write a bill that passes and is signed into law? Yes, he is a Great Conservative. But he cannot lead and never has.

Not you, not me either, but a lot of the ‘Cruzers’ did roll over.

Rush has always chased ratings, to stay on top, and I don't blame him for doing so, but don't hold him up as some kind of iron-willed no-compromises conservative spokesperson -- he's in show business. He's merely saying something that is right once in a while, and much more often than Bill Maher.
