"Wha? Stop reading The Times??? That's crazy talk! Where will we get the news?"
I believe that 98% of the rags referred to as 'newspapers' are nothing but shills for the elite political class and this phony 'president' who is America's first illegal president. There are, unfortunately, many more dogs elected to the presidency, but this one is in a class by himself. I cancelled my subscription to the local leftist rag within two months of moving here.
Conservatism is about protecting our constitutional rights and wanting a responsible fiscally sound goverment, yet were are referred to as extremist by the NY Times and the liberal media. Interesting though both the NY Times and NY are broke and they know what's good for us. The central socialist government as well as the socialist state governments are broke and they have no business in their evil march towards completely ruining this nation and our lives.
Ha ha! This is how you fight back. Imagine if all our guys started fighting back fire with fire!
Do we have a statesman now?
Ted Cruz is one of the very few conservatives can count on........
Ha ha! This is how you fight back. Imagine if all our guys started fighting back fire with fire!
I wouldn’t say to stop reading it because that’s a democrat game. However I would constantly remind congressmen that the NY Times speaks for a very small left wing segment of the country and they would serve us better by listening to their constituents.
You got that right. That scumbag Menendez didn’t get one question about his prostitutes on ABC news. Only pubs get dirt dished out on them. Bring on the revolution!
During Revolutionary times, you had patriotic newspapers and Loyalist newspapers. In the 1800's, you had Democrat papers and Republican papers, pro-slavery papers and anti-slavery papers, etc.
I would personally love to have a conservative version of MSNBC (the big difference is that they wouldn't be lying). CNN tends to be moderate-left to left, while Fox is moderate-right. Glenn Beck is building a media empire that could possibly do just that. If it got big enough, then Republican politcians might not feel the need to go to Katie Couric for "intimate one on one interviews".
We should keep mocking the NY Times. Make fun of it. Make it even more uncool to be a NYT reader. Why read corporate news when you can read citizen media? NYT readers are corporate kiss-asses (or something to that effect). Pet stores can sell bird cages with NYTs lining the tray for free. I mean,,we gotta get creative here.
Besides the media the biggest stranglehold the libs have on our culture is education. That’s another huge battleground.
Maybe local school board situations deserve more attention. Heck local everything deserves more attention. So much to do
That's the best line from a politician in a while.
GOP Elite behave like Junior High kids, when it comes to being more concerned with what others think about them, than they care about doing what is right.
I will hold my accolades until after I see how he votes on amnesty.
Ted is my hero for today!!
This guy is NOT taking hostages. I LOVE IT!!!!
...and don’t forget, The Establishment didn’t want him (and Rubio) in office. The same Establishment that is telling us that we need Amnesty, because we’re not doing enough for Hispanics.
We are being SCAMMED (again) on this Amnesty push, by The Establishment.
I think the biggest mistake that not just Congress but also conservative media make is letting the left wing media and what it does or does not print drive much of news. Why complain about the AP? Produce and alternative to it. The least that can be done is to quit paying for it. The GOP only wins when it connects with the frustration and the desire for popular sovereignity of the citizenry. Cruz is right and I hope someone is listening.
There is just one thing he said that I have disagreement with, because it no longer works. There is need of a new paradigm.
With the collapse of our economic system in the Great Depression, the fundamentals of our economy were gradually replaced with a new idea: deficit spending, inflation, excessive credit and debt; all were seen as good things.
The way this new system was managed, was on one hand, with greater government spending and deficits; and on the other, with “growth” and “productivity”, to keep the economy from becoming overheated.
However, this new economy has run its course, and now is on the path to ruin. Yet both means of managing it are still being used, though they no longer work.
We need to try something new. And the only other functional economic model is going back to the way we used to do things.
To start with, not just an end to deficit spending, but an actual reduction in not just existing debt, but projected debt. And once this is done, not just a balanced budget, but a surplus budget.
Then, credit has to “dry up”, in most cases, returning to the idea that “The only people who should get loans are those that do not need them.” 100% collateral for most loans, and very strict limits on mortgage loans.
“Student loans” are finished. So if students cannot afford college, they don’t go to college. And colleges will have to slash their tuition so much that students *can* afford to attend, or they are out of business.
Much of the espionage directed at Americans by the government ends as well as the vast number of federal police agencies. Just too expensive.
Then the real reductions begin, with every federal agency having *clear* constitutional justification, or being eliminated.
All I can say is THANK GOD FOR SARAH PALIN! Cruz had 30% against the RINO Dewhurst until she stepped in. She single handedly stepped in and saved his bacon. The fix was in by Perry and the establishment. We generally have a choice between one or two and Palin usually picks right. We need more Palin’s and Cruz’s and not Boehner’s and McCain’s.
