"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!

"Our values are fundamentally American," Cruz told the audience. "This country remains a country built on...Christian values. And anyone who tells you differently is lying to you."

 

What?? Senator Cruz, are you calling President Obama a liar?

“We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation.”

“I also know that Islam has always been a part of America’s story.”

“Islam has always been part of America”

Invoking personal stories from his own life, the senator highlighted the power of hope in the darkest of times.

We are being pressed toward alternatives in which "hope" has no function and no purpose.

Under communism, there is no need for individuals to have hopes. The state takes care of everything for you. Individuals have no need for hope because the state gives you everything you need. All you have to do as an individual is your assigned job; as long as you do that, everything else will work out automatically.

Under Islam (the other alternative), there is no need for hope because earthly life is of no value. Death is actually preferable to life, as we are frequently reminded by Muslim leaders. The only aspiration of our earthly existence is to spread Islam to the farthest corners of Earth, and to murder anyone who resists. This is not so much a hope as it is a duty.

Cruz knows when you’re in fight never pull your punches, you will win by a knockout!

But..But…The president said…….and even on WHWeb site

“In the United States, Eid also reminds us of the many achievements and contributions of Muslim Americans to building the very fabric of our nation and strengthening the core of our democracy,” reads the statement on Eid-al-Fitr posted to The White House’s official website.

The Treaty of Tripoli disagrees, and I trust it as a rubric more than modern interpretation.

"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

One of my favorite quotes. This is basically the radical left over the years. Thanks in a large part to their hijacking of the media, entertainment, and academia. Allowing them to play Oz.

[Fester Chugabrew]

The word “Christian” technically refers only to those who in repentance and faith cling to the righteousness of a crucified and risen Christ alone. The US was not built on this, and does not pretend in its Constitution to make this its foundation. It is a wider foundation of natural law and revealed law upon which we practice order and civility.

One has only to read the Mayflower Compact for proof. And the first legislature in America convened in a church...a Christian church.

[TheConservativeParty]

I heart Ted Cruz.

[MrB]

CRUZ!

GO BOLD OR GO HOME!

YEAH!

I think a candidate that doesn’t try to be a politician but instead boldly speaks the truth would come out head and shoulders above the pack.

He might even come out and comment on the declining work ethic of our current society as well.

[Mariner]

Ted Cruz is the only SoCon that can bring the libertarians into the fold...and vice versa.

He unites the right as it has not been since Reagan.

[ForYourChildren]

I agree with him. This is great. I like the strongly worded language.

[sergeantdave]

Senator Cruz sounds like presidential timber to me.

Check one vote - mine - to elect Cruz to the office of the President of the United States.
