Ted Cruz’ Challenge To The Democrats After Orlando Will Make Lots Of Them Apoplectic…
The Louisiana Hayride ^ | June 13, 2016 | Scott McKay

…but he speaks the truth.

Because it’s about defending Western civilization, without which none of the Democrats’ constituency groups could survive, against something inherently hostile to it.

"For all the Democrats who are loud champions of the gay and lesbian community whenever there is a culture battle waging, now is the opportunity to speak out against an ideology that calls for the murder of gays and lesbians. ISIS and the theocracy in Iran (supported with American taxpayer dollars) regularly murder homosexuals, throwing them from buildings and burying them under rocks. This is wrong, it is evil, and we must all stand against it. Every human being has a right to live according to his or her faith and conscience, and nobody has a right to murder someone who doesn’t share their faith or sexual orientation. If you’re a Democratic politician and you really want to stand for LGBT, show real courage and stand up against the vicious ideology that has targeted our fellow Americans for murder."

That’s a major stink-bomb thrown into the Democrats’ camp. The cultural-Marxist Left has for years been hard at work inventing a succession of provocations designed to paint ordinary Americans and the country’s traditions as racist, sexist, homophobic, bigoted, intolerant, you name it – when there is a real villain out there which would bleed the Left just as dry as the Right, and rather than recognize that threat they’ve made excuses for it and played along with the fiction that vigilance against sharia Islam and the creeping civilizational jihad infecting Western countries is another form of bigotry.

Well, now with Orlando we see that sharia Islam and the gay community are not going to coexist. And you can’t blame this on Christian conservatives, and you can’t blame it on Donald Trump, and you can’t blame it on guns. The Left is going to have to choose. Will it choose to preserve Western civilization, which stands for human liberty and some concept of public virtue based in the Judeo-Christian tradition, or will it abandon that civilization and stand by as Islam fills the void?

You don’t have any understanding of parliamentary procedure and how congress works?

LOL!

I dunno. I think the clinically ambitious, like Cruz and Hillary, Obama, are the most dangerous of political animals.

You have to forgive me, however, for my blinding revulsion for betrayal and of Cruz’ intimate association with it.

So if Cruz is the VP pick who’ll you vote for?

I would gladly vote for Trump with Cruz as VP.

Trust probably matters to TRUMP. That sure guarantees Cruz stays stranded at the station.

TRUMP has no reason to pick Cruz, who brings him nothing, is despised in the Senate, with no discernable advantage legislatively, and certainly nothing whatsoever, relationally speaking, to the Hill. The RINO’s despise the Cruz grandstanding as much as I do.

Sessions, I hope. He has everything TRUMP actually needs.

Sessions is about the same age as Trump and if Trump can’t carry Alabama this is all for naught.

When will Ted Cruz endorse Donald Trump? Didn’t he sign some pledge?

Sessions is not young, but he has a lot of good qualities (and he helped Trump with his first position paper on H1-Bs).

I know you are right about Alabama, but the shoe still fits Sessions best, on matters of competence, political gravitas and earned collegial respect of the US Senate, legislative influence, issue research expert, loyalty, lack of political ambition, kept his head down and on his work, etc.

Same could be said about TEXAS. Unless they are overtaken by blue, TEXAS should be able to decide they don’t want to become a sanctuary state and will vote for TRUMP.

Who else, do you think? A Walker surprise, maybe? Puhleeze don’t say Kasickkkkk. lol.

Remember Cruz and Rubio are Hispanics. That’s going to mean something this time. Martinez looks like a pander move.

0bama and Muslims coming,
We’re finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Fifty dead in Orlando.

Gotta get down to it
Muslims are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew them
And found them dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?

If Don Trump selects him to be his running mate, which is highly possible, heads will explode here.

And if Cruz accepts, OTHER heads will explode, and pants will be beshatted. LOL! :)

Well, if it’s Rubio by some default, at least the RINO Establishment thought him to be their “Golden Boy”, and Florida matters, so there’s that.

Mostly, Cruz is remembered as being Canadian, and it stuck.

Scuttlebutt right now is Rubio will renege on his pledge to retire from the Senate and run again. He’s got two weeks to decide.

Considering that the focus is now on beating Hillary Clinton and Neville 0Muslim like Radical Islamic Terrorism-supporting baby Harp seals, I'm wondering when Trump is going to announce that Cruz has been accepted into the ranks as VP? :)
