CRUZ HAD IT EXACTLY RIGHT
The American Spectator ^ | March 24, 2015 | Scott McKay

CRUZ HAD IT EXACTLY RIGHT Task law enforcement to serve as an early-warning system against Islamic jihad.

By Scott McKay – 3.24.16

In the past week, we’ve seen an almost comical level of political correctness and stupidity coming out of the Left and the usual suspects among supposed conservatives wishing to make themselves “acceptable” to the masters of our academic and pop culture.

Specifically, the smart set devolved into paroxysms of outrage over the announcement of Ted Cruz’ national security team, including as it did such national-security figures as Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy and former CIA analyst Clare Lopez, who rightly decried the destruction of America’s national interest encompassed in the Obama administration’s embrace of the Arab Spring.

Gaffney, who has warned repeatedly of the Muslim Brotherhood’s influence operation within the American government — an endeavor undeniable to anyone possessing familiarity with the government’s treatment of those within it who dared raise questions about the enemy’s threat doctrine in the War of Terror — was castigated as a “notorious Islamophobe,” as designated by the Southern Poverty Law Center, a leftist propaganda organ which commonly uses libel as a fundraising tactic.

For Cruz to include Gaffney in his national security team was sent up as a sign that he wasn’t on board with America’s “smart” approach to the civilizational conflict with militant Islam that, despite the conceits of our betters, has been going on for the better part of 1400 years.

It took just a few days from the commencement of that tempest in a teapot to its boiling-over in Brussels, the seat of not just the European Union and NATO but the continent’s abject surrender to Islam.

Have a random extra patrol a day in some areas. When burqas start appearing and the children begin throwing rocks then you know that a problem might be brewing. Keep your camera recording.

Young At Heart
By Frank Sinatra

Fairy tales can come true
It can happen to you if you’re young at heart
For it’s hard, you will find
To be narrow of mind if you’re young at heart

You can go to extremes with impossible schemes
You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams
And life gets more exciting with each passing day
And love is either in your heart or on it’s way

Don’t you know that it’s worth
Every treasure on earth to be young at heart
For as rich as you are
It’s much better by far to be young at heart

And if you should survive to a hundred and five
Look at all you’ll derive out of bein’ alive
And here is the best part, you have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart

And if you should survive to a hundred and five
Look at all you’ll derive out of bein’ alive
And here is the best part, you have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart

“CRUZ HAD IT EXACTLY RIGHT”

Personally I think that ONE WIFE and zero mistresses is EXACTLY RIGHT.

But I’m getting old, so maybe one wife and 5 mistresses is now ‘exactly right’ and Cruz appears to have met that standard, at least according to some publications.

“I suggest you peddle your Trumpian sickness elsewhere.”

Personally, I’m tired of HOLDING MY NOSE for people that claim to be conservative, but REFUSE to live that lifestyle (such as having one wife/lover at a time).

...at least Trump doesn’t LIE ABOUT IT.

1,237 is not a number it is an unreachable dream for Trump. What he has on the first ballot will be his high water mark.

Cruz dominates all policy debates, and every Trumpkin screams, ‘hey look over here, the Enquirer says’....

When in the hell did the Enquirer become a reputable magazine? I must have missed it between the UFO issues, and Oprah’s alien baby.

I prefer Trumps plan.

Because nobody has heard of it.

There will be upwards of 2200 delegates held by Trump and Cruz. Why do you think they would meekly bend to the will of the party without one hell of a battle.

I don’t think Trump will reach his number on the first round so either he has a plan to get some more delegates or he will be gone by the 3rd round.
