"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Ted Cruz Ping!

If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.

Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!

[Buckeye McFrog]

Cruz is right. I awake to a late 70’s flashback every day.

Except that Obama has had twice as much time to inflict damage.

the Late 1970s' & Carter

Except it's $16 trillion of national debt worse now.

[MichaelCorleone]

In all due respect to the Senator, I believe we’re far worse than the late 70’s. Three reasons: lack of passion for liberty amongst the voters, much more advanced technology, and our out of control national debt.

Cruz: 'Where We Are Today Reminds Me a Great Deal of the Late 1970s' & Carter

Cruz wants to be so much like Reagan circa 1980. I hope he is and I hope we have an electorate that wants it.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Sadly, where we are today DOESN’T remind me of the late 70s and Carter. Don’t get me wrong; Carter was a bad president. But:

Carter deregulated the airlines. Carter was pushing to lower taxes. You may disagree with his characterization, but he nevertheless proudly called himself a Born Again Christian. And the entire federal debt was $640 billion. Not per year — $640 billion in total.

Carter was a horrible president but the Communist we have in office today is much, much worse than Carter.

reminds me more of 1934 and Berlin, Senator.

. rampant unemployment
. marches in the streets
. a government of occultists, sexual deviants, and malcontents
. fascistic policies swallowed in the name of the public good.
. a media unwilling or afraid to report the truth.
. the rest of the world watching and wondering what the heck has happened to a once great country

Reminds Me a Great Deal of the Late 1970s' & Carter
If you're referring to financial and foreign fiascoes, I agree.
But as inept as he was, Carter was not a Commie. Øbama is.

Funny, I was thinking that we’re way past Carter and the 70s and approaching 1917 and Lenin.

[Pollster1]

I never thought I’d say this, but if we could bring back Jimmy Carter, just as inept and antisemitic as ever but now senile and bitter too, I’d consider that a great improvement. The question today is whether Obama will end up as bad as James Buchanan or even worse than Buchanan.
