Is Cruz Our Best Hope?
American Thinker ^ | May 7, 2013 | Bruce Walker

The buzz these days is that Senator Ted Cruz from Texas will run for president in 2016. Does that sound too bold?

It is much less important to have two or three presidential terms under men like Bush, Dole, Bush, McCain, and Romney -- the presidential nominees since Reagan left office -- than one or two presidential terms under a transformative conservative leader who intends to reclaim the nobility and virtue or America and create in our nation a model which the rest of the world can see.

Reagan and Cruz both grasp the deadly moral and mental toxin of Marxism. The sins of the left, from ObamaCare to a destructively high progressive income tax to the myriad categories of notionally aggrieved classes requiring preferred treatment by government, are all rooted in Marxism.

Ted Cruz correctly and courageously talks about the Marxist domination of Harvard Law School. Go back a few decades in American political history.

Gerald Ford in his 1976 foreign policy debate with Carter was so eager to pussyfoot around the issue of Marxist evil that he famously stated that the Soviet Union had not dominated Poland. Compare that craven surrender to political correctness with Ronald Reagan as president calling the Soviet Union an "Evil Empire."

Ted Cruz knows all about the horrors of Marxism and understands as most of us could not why ending Marxism in Grenada was noble. Cruz's father, who had been tortured by Fidel Castro's predecessor, Batista, and who supported Castro's revolution, left Cuba before Castro came to power, thoroughly disillusioned with that dissembling Marxist thug.

Cruz also is a fabulous communicator and articulator of conservative principles. Professor Alan Dershowitz, not noted for his historic sympathy for conservatism, said of his days at Harvard Law School, "Cruz was off-the-charts brilliant."

Nope. That would be Jesus.

At this point, I want someone who not only talks the talk but walks the walk. Right now, there’s only one person doing that prominently, and that’s Cruz. It’s shocking how good this guy has turned out to be, and he’s put most of the rest of the party to shame and dramatically illustrates how inept or outright collaborationist they are with the enemy.

You folks don’t see Susan Collins or Lincoln Chafee as our next best hope? /sarc-barf (as if that was needed)
