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.

If no one gets the number on the first ballot then the wheeling and dealing begins.
I don’t see either Cruz or Trump giving in to the other per se thus at some point some
of those delegates will begin to change sides or look for some one new. I don’t remember
the actual binding of delegates but after the first round or so they are freed to make other choices.
Who knows what will go down but I don’t see Trump going to Cruz and doubt Cruz would
do the reverse. JMO.
Its going to be bloody. Maybe Walker or someone like him wins in he end.
