I write to you this morning my fellow Americans, my fellow patriots and fellow Christians because God has put it on my heart to make this appeal to you. I am not here to bash you or tell you your choice is wrong. I am going to ask you to just respectfully listen to what I have to say and then I in turn, respectfully leave the decision to you. I ask as a patriot who for the past several years has fought for everything we value and who fully understands the anger and frustration with our politicians.
What I ask this morning is to please open your hearts, your minds and tap into your wisdom as I tell you about Ted Cruz. Don’t close the page; don’t just tune out because I said Senator Cruz’s name. You are not stupid and I think you can handle what I have to say as if I were there with you stating my case.
First, let me dispel some myths that are just so far off yet; seem to be propagated across social media. Ted Cruz is not a globalist and has always fought for the sovereignty of our country. His wife, Heidi is not a globalist and the smears against her were created by the John Birch Society and used by his opponent in his race for the Senate. You can read about it here in this article; Anatomy of a Smear – Heidi Cruz.
Ted Cruz has never been an establishment candidate and in fact, the establishment hated him because he stuck to the values and principles that his people elected him for. He has never taken money from George Soros and he is not in the pocket of banks or Wall Street.

Me too. :)

EXACTLY
Ted rafael cruz is a sitting senator, is he not?
He supports the infolding of illegal invading immigrants,
does he not?
He has vocally mirrored Trump ideas, but did not
evoke them first, has he?
No sir, I am not voting for an immigrant’s son,
a former President’s dyke wife, or a self-loathing,
self-professed Communist Jew, or lastly, a
delusional son of a postman from Ohio.
I am voting for Donald J. Trump, the WASP.
The question asked of Trump was on national security and defense policy, not foreign policy. Your typing in all caps doesn’t change that.
Haass was against the war in Iraq, and against taking out Qaddafi in Libya.
You do see the difference between national security/military policy and foreign policy, do you not?
Here we go, the claim that Ted Cruz and his followers are pure and Christian. There is no evidence that Cruz is Christian and the behavior of his followers is anything but Christian.
As for the claim that Cruz is conservative, I used to think so. But look at his endorsements lately. Glenn Beck, Rick Perry, Neil Bush and JEB BUSH. All four are very leftist and establishment.
I will come out and be honest. I’m not thrilled about the endorsement of Chris Christie for Trump either. But at least I’m honest about it.
Cruz supporters could stand to learn some humility and manners.
I’m a Trump supporter, and I read it.
I am saddened by the divisions among our team of patriots. It’s like something is out there urging, “Let’s you and him fight.”
I think some of the anger on both sides is because we as a people and nation - as a free people have been gas-lighted now for decades, and it is just so hard to know and understand what is real and what is not. It all boils down to our own gifts of inner spiritual discrimination and judgment.
I will crawl over broken glass to vote for one of the two candidates who have held themselves out to be willing to challenge the power elite. I will join with my fellow Trump AND Cruz patriots in outrage if the power elite manage to steal the nomination from either of them.
Politics is known as being dirty. With so much at stake from all directions, how could we not have expected it to be especially dirty this year?
I LOVE THE PASSION OF ALL OF THE PATRIOTS HERE, WHETHER TRUMP OR CRUZ, and hope that all of us can somehow govern the strong emotions we all feel and be more merciful to each other. Each person who is maligned by vitriol is a real person, and not just an electronic post. Feeling the disdain from another poster hurts and can last.
I ask God to bless each and every one of you.
No, I don't think He has.
If it were actually what YOU want and desire God's blessing on it: how would you know the difference?
I ask you and others to understand this takes place every four years.
People gather behind the person of their choice, and it gets ugly.
Later on we gather together and in time we become one big happy dysfunctional family again. “:^)
Thank you Doughty One, for the reminder. It is comforting. I have been through this cycle too, and it is always distressing. It just seems this year is particularly onerous.
I just looked at our initial FR sign up dates - if I’m reading the dates correctly, we were within days of each other!
My first intro to FR was seeing the October Washington DC rally protesting Clinton. It must have been 1997. I lurked for a while then signed up. What sold me were the wonderful signs and the humor of our people shown on the DC mall, and the same humor of the people who showed up here in Jim Rob’s living room!
I know this is a painful period on the forum.
I got sick of it in 2000, and left for 90 days.
When I came back almost every person who had been causing discomfort was gone.
I hadn’t expected that. Hate to say it, but it sure improved the place.
LOL! That’s really true! We just have to hang tough and stay balanced. Thanks for being there and for all you do!
Happy Easter to you and all!
Happy Easter to you as well. Nice thought...
Thank you.
Hey foolish idiot! The John Birch Society did not make Heidi Cruz the Director for the Western Hemisphere on the National Security Council in the Bush administration or make her join the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) to coauthor a paper recommending ways to enhance our so called "North American Union" and meld our economic systems for New World Order assimilation.
Now you can try to dispel the fact that you are a globalist tool and a used putz. Do I sound mad? You Cruz maniacs cannot accept reality.
And furthermore, Cruz was born in Canada and will never get the vote of a Constitutional Patriot!
The author makes a big appeal to Trump supporters to just listen, to be open minded. He says we’re not stupid.
I read the whole thing and was half expecting the author to offer his ear in return. To offer to be open minded in return. To reciprocate by listening as we argue our case.
But that offer never came. This is a one sided appeal. An appeal to Trump supporters to finally take a pause and listen to reason. To stop being wrong and be willing to be right, like the author thinks he is.
This is the same condescending crap all over again. The author is so damn sure he (and Cruz) represent the side of truth and we are lost sheep.
Get a grip! Cruz may be a conservative, lately I have my doubts, but even if he is, he preaches to his choir and has no game against the leftist majority. They will chew him up and spit him out. His debate team arguments won’t make a dent - the leftists use lies and tricks and psych ops against conservatives and logic and reason are as ineffective as the British in the American Revolution, marching in straight lines with bright red coats, saying ready, set, go, before getting shot.
Trump is smart enough and practical enough that he may actually do some real damage to our enemies on the left. He may tear down their cloak of politically correct speech and discredit their blatant pandering to naive idealism and reveal how bankrupt and corrupt their agenda really is.
That is why I support Donald Trump.
If, as a Bible believing Christian,(as he claims to be) then he must also believe that God personally anoints our leaders and they are there by His will - even Obama. Which makes his plea a bit hypocritical.
Because he argued and won the Heller gun rights case?????
Yes, but Trump was giving TO then; Cruz is getting FROM the globalists now. Opposite sides of the coin
Yes, because that makes it even worse. Trump making a deliberate choice to aid and abet our enemy within (the leftist Democrats) is far worse than Cruz merely accepting donations from the establishment GOP. You can't see that difference?
