Three Deeply Pro-American Candidates

We are beginning to understand the GOP field, and to me the most interesting thing is three front-runners who seem to be genuinely pro-American.

I don’t mean that the others are not pro-American; I just don't understand them yet.

The three I feel pretty sure about are Trump, Cruz, and Carson, each one for a different reason.

(As for the American left, it has reverted to its old and failed internationalism, with the secret ambition of being part of the new international ruling class.

Adm. James Lyons has spoken the final word on Obama. He is “anti-American, anti-Western, pro-Islamic, pro-Iranian, and pro-Muslim Brotherhood.”

It's not a secret anymore, and as David Horowitz has said, the Democratic Party is just the old CPUSA – never having learned the lessons of the Soviet breakdown.

John Kerry recently complained to Vladimir Putin that he was too pro-Russian when he snatched part of the Ukraine, the whole Crimea, and previously, a chunk of Georgia. Putin just laughed. He's seen Soviet Communism crumble; he's not a useful idiot like the Democrats. Kerry, Hillary, and Obama are all "post-American" pols, and they've done huge damage.

But back to the GOP field.)

Ted Cruz is deeply pro-American, because he was raised in a Cuban refugee family, where his dad hated tyranny and loved freedom based on his own personal experience. Freedom and persecution were not abstract slogans in the Cruz family. Ted's later career shows it over and over again.

Cruz also has an impressive academic, government, and political track record – if you still care about that after this administration.

As for Trump, I think he is an intuitive personality – he does what he does because he has strong intuitions, which have mostly worked out for him....

What say you?

Yup: The three I feel pretty sure about are Trump, Cruz, and Carson, each one for a different reason.

And I can guarantee him that none of the GOPe amnesty pimps give a damn about America. They split their allegiance.

bttt

Cruz, Carson, Trump....all love America.
Differences among them are minor.
ALL would make great presidents, especially compared to the GOPe candidates...Bush, Carly, Rubio etc.

And this person calls himself the American Thinker??? Has he never heard of Brent Snocroft, Henry Kissinger or daddy Bush??? How about the CFR???

This para might be the most important in the piece...

Voters must go back to taking responsibility for the pols, because we see the temptations of untrammeled power. If we don't watch them carefully, they will keep drifting in bad directions.

Which translates to: the voters must accept responsibility for the current crop of power-hungry and corrupt pols. I.e., the Establishment Itself.

All three are pro-America but Ted Cruz is the one who is also pro-Constitution. More so than practically every candidate in my lifetime, Ted is a Constitutionalist.

[Godebert]

Cruz has no understanding of Natural Law, the ultimate source of Constitutional Law.

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” - John Adams

Ted knows this more than any other candidate in our lifetimes. It is our nation that seems no longer to care.

[Neoliberalnot]

The Missouri Sage has deep insight. Rush nails BO and his crime ring, and is right about the candidates.

[Neoliberalnot]

Carson is not a strong leader. Surgeon general is his calling.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Except that Carson is pro-amnesty.

[DaveA37]

“Except that Carson is pro-amnesty.”.

Automatic disqualifier.

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” - John Adams

"Ted knows this more than any other candidate in our lifetimes. It is our nation that seems no longer to care."

Perhaps Cruz is familiar with the quote. I doubt he is familiar with what John Quincy Adams wrote in 1839:

President John Quincy Adams, writing in 1839, looked back at the founding period and recognized the true meaning of the Declaration's reliance on the "Laws of Nature and of Nature's God."; He observed that the American people's "charter was the Declaration of Independence. Their rights, the natural rights of mankind. Their government, such as should be instituted by the people, under the solemn mutual pledges of perpetual union, founded on the self-evident truth's proclaimed in the Declaration."

Note the reference to Natural Law in the first sentence of our Declaration of Independence.

It is crystal clear that the Founding Fathers used the Natural Law definition of 'natural born Citizen' when they wrote Article II. By invoking "The Laws of Nature and Nature's God" the 56 signers of the Declaration incorporated a legal standard of freedom into the forms of government that would follow.
