"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

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) told Bloomberg on Saturday that he was unaware of any conspiracy theories or fear surrounding Jade Helm 15.

Talk about oblivious!

The more I see TPM, Slate, MSNBC, Jon Stewart and the other Stalinists squawking about this, the more obvious it is that Cruz is onto something. These people don’t all walk in lock step at the same time like this unless they’ve gotten their marching orders.

Voter suppression of the state of Texas is more like it.

They don’t typically make a move without their marching orders. It would be rare that they aren’t in lockstep over their most precious of doctrines either way.

There probably wasn’t much light in McCain’s rectum so he couldn’t read the memo.

[Cruz’s comments came after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) ordered the state guard to monitor the military’s activities after the conspiracy theorists raised concerns.]

TED CRUZ & Texas Governor Greg Abbott acted prudently to quell the fears of their constituency. Texas citizens are jumpy, especially after the latest ISIS attack.

Can someone tell me how a major military training exercise has not been coordinated and agreed to by State officials?

McCain = war casualty.

In spite of this, he was an A-Hole prior to being a war casualty.

You’re right...the more they squawk about it, then there must be something to this. They are the paid traitorous agents of dis-information.

“When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.”

Are you listening, alphabet agencies and “trainees”?
