Yes, but this honestly seems to apply to Trump folks too, because they have no actual history to base their hopes upon. I'll be hoping as well, if/when I vote for him in the general, and/or he is sworn in... but in the meantime, I have to keep pushing for Cruz.
I always prefer to go to the bible if there is a difference in the viewpoint of literature.
Socialism as we know it failed because it tried to impose equality from top down—an idea with tragic consequences, as we saw the millions upon millions of people dead in the Soviet Union during the reign of Josef Stalin and China during the reign of Mao Zedong.
The Trump coattails can’t be ignored; against sometimes stiff resistance, he’s getting a consensus among an unexpectedly broad set of voters for the need to stop the blind giveaway to the winds which modern “liberalism” has become.
Is there any absolute guarantee? No, but we don’t know Cruz won’t go crazy either. Trump’s optimism, however, is something I have seen on video and it is persuasive through his manner that he is hoping from the heart for something good through assembling a consensus and a set of ideas that, in fact, may be less based in Trump than they are in We The People. We’ve had samples of that already with him and Jeff Sessions.
Actually, Trump does have a history—he built a real-estate empire, something which very few people have the knowledge or skill set to do. He’s proven that he can get things done.
Cruz is probably more attuned with conservative values, but does not have the track record of getting things done. He has not been in Washington long enough to demonstrate that he is able to withstand the pressures that seem to turn most representatives into RINOs no matter how good their conservative credentials were going in.
I can go for either one. My dream ticket is Trump/Cruz. My alternate dream ticket is Cruz/Trump.

In the Bible “The Farm” is named Ba’al.
That Ba’al isn’t a deity - it’s a pattern of human behavior repeatedly illustrated in both the Old and New Testaments.
It’s the collective state-establishment the characters worshiped and served - and were ultimately, repeatedly, enslaved by.
“...they worshiped and served created things... and because of this...”
Romans 1.
Same Ol’ Bull, different municipal toilet.
It won’t work because, well, from an earthly point of view some people had to be “more equal” to have the authority to oversee it all.
In a system where people are sincerely believing on God, the authority is in God and the mediator is the action of God on the conscience for the most part. This leaves people to be able to be equal in the sense they are equal before God, not equal in worldly stature. This is why the Cold War actions of the West so strongly stressed “In God We Trust.” Whether a mere slogan moved the West, is less clear — more evangelism and less sloganeering might have been the better order of the day. But people did see the need on some level.
No, I take it literally. Baal meant lord and it was a demonic deity. There is no “pattern of human behavior” without entities around which it forms. Ephesians 6.

Socialist = Thief.
Whereas, God = giver.
>>No, I take it literally
And you voted for Carter and other Useful Idiots how many times?
>>There is no “pattern of human behaviorâ€
LOL. The Israelites who were repeatedly given over to their enemies for their participation in the worship of that state-established pattern contradict your opinion.
” Thus we read of the “ba’al” of a house, of land, of goods, of a woman (that is, as a husband). It is also generalized so far as to be a mere noun of relation. Thus a “ba’al of dreams”is a dreamer; a “ba’al of anger” is an angry man; a “ba’al of wings” is a bird; a “ba’al of edges” is two-edged; “ba’alim of a covenant” are allies; “ba’als of an oath” are conspirators. Further, a “ba’al” may be the owner of animals (Isa. i. 3; Ex. xxi. 28 et seq.), but not of men as slaves or subjects, for the phrase in Isa. xvi. 8, the “ba’alim” of the nations, implies dominion over regions rather than over people. “Ba’al” in Hebrew is therefore essentially different from “adon,” which implies personal sway and control. When any divinity is called “ba’al” or “a ba’al,” the designation must be understood to imply not a ruler of men, but a possessor or controller of certain things. On the other hand, the Assyrian (Babylonian) “bÄ“l,” originally the same word, implies especially lordship over men, though it is also, as in all north-Semitic languages, used as a mere noun of relation. In Arabic “ba’al,” as applied to persons, is confined to the meaning of “husband.””

I did all that BEFORE I BELIEVED.
Can you read? I know you can.
Will you comprehend? That is a matter of your will.
And no, your LOL cannot laugh away the reality of God any more than my votes did.
This is the risk I take of making a testimony like this. It can become pearls before swine.
You really distorted me didn’t you? I said there was none WITHOUT AN ENTITY TO BE AROUND. Rest assured, VERY assured, Ephesians 6 being one of many many witnesses, that THESE DEMONIC ENTITIES ARE REAL and lured Israel and have lured moderns into much destruction.
And that will include YOU if you refuse to acknowledge God’s gospel truth.
None of which hand waves away the existence of a kingdom of a real Satan.
It is you who are begging the question in your presumptuous ignorance.
I left my presumptuous ignorance. How about you?
Who was the Ba’al of Eqypt propped up by the state-establishment?
How do you inform a group like the Millennials who do not read and cannot watch videos for, at most, 30 minutes before wandering off?
Required reading for them is the twitter message they just got.
If you are going to continue to distort me then we really can take this discussion nowhere.
YES... demonic entities and people can be in cahoots.
NO... this does not prove there are no demonic entities.
The devil tries to hide from your sight everywhere and the result is your kind of cock and bull story. People bear an onus, but are not the only actors in the story. Why is it that people who go to hell go to the eternal fire prepared for SOMETHING ELSE, namely the devil and his angels? Because they followed said devil, riiiiiiiiiiight!
And this was more like the demons propping up Pharoah’s cruel racket... NOT the other way around.
The problem is that we no longer have capitalism—we are being run by a kleptocracy that controls the politicians and the banks. Check out corruption cases against UBS, Citibank, Goldman Sachs and, most recently, Morgan Stanley. They are fleecing us and what’s left of our economy like sacrificial lambs. This is not class envy, this is the truth. Listen to these rich morons on the financial sites advocating for free trade so the jobs can go overseas and enlarge corporate pockets. Listen to them advocate for open borders so the wages can be less here. It’s all in the open if you are ready to just listen. If you object, you are accused of “class envy.”
Try to start a business these days, swimming up hill against all the regulations put in place by governments seeking to reward their friends and keep competition out.
Meanwhile, we are paying taxes so people with no or low wages can buy free groceries we can’t afford, so the large companies can keep their wages down and profits up. Grocery prices are rising and food companies thriving because food shoppers are less sensitive to prices because, heck, many of them are getting the food for free anyway! (Until very recently. Now no one can afford to shop who isn’t on public assistance.)
Do you have kids in young adulthood? Even if they have a job, can they afford healthcare? Can they go to the dentist? Can they afford to rent an apartment in a decent area if they live in a large city, where the wages are higher? Can their vehicles pass whatever overly onerous inspections process imposed by the local EPA Gestapo so the kids can afford to buy older cars? If they get a traffic ticket, can they afford the fine? If not, are they directed over to a probation office and put on probation so they have to pay those fines and are in double legal jeopardy because they have lost some of their rights due to their changed legal status?
This is why people are turning to the Bern and to Trump. We want the tables of the thieves overthrown and their temples torn down.
My dream is that each of them will gain the nominations of their parties. Then, they will meet secretly, on a dark night in some dank cemetery and agree to do away with the whole process. Trump will be president, and Bernie will be Vice. Neither of them will live longer than one term, so they’ll be free to do what needs to be done.
