No secret you’re for Cruz, but I will respect that you say it from reasons and you’re respectful of Trump supporters. So thank you.

I was fairly young when the Iraq war started—WOW, it went on a long time—so I’ll keep my peace on how justified it was. Having said that, the way it was fought beyond the first few months turned out to be total garbage.

if it was a raving success, and they paid the Iraqi army and didn’t create a half million man insurgency!!, and it became an unsteady yet budding democracy with a heavy emphasis on reeducation of the young, then it would have been a springboard in the area. but it was ####ed up beyond all recognition. you are right.

as for Trump, he gave a classy comment about a man I LOVED, an Italian American of 2nd generation who made it to SCOTUS!!

And his two choices for SCOTUS impressed me.

I know this hyphenated American stuff annoys a lot of conservatives, and rightly so, but alot on this board have ancestors going back to the Revolutionary War!!!

they made their bones and are about as American as you can get.

We second generation and ever third still felt like we had to prove we are true Americans, and we did that with having two conservative descendants of Italian immigrants on the SCOTUS!!!

it took Gotti off the front pages of Italian American contributions and we were so proud!!!

we were proud because now we were REALLY to be accepted as just as American as everybody else!!! AND SO PROUD TO BE THAT!!!

hispanics put their old country FIRST.

I LOVE Columbus Day (screw the indians and apologists) and wave an Italian and American flag, but AMERICA IS MY COUNTRY and Italy has a soft spot. That’s it.
