High praise from Bozell.
Sorry I think I was posting this at about the same time you did! ;).
OK everyone, repeat after me:
Donald Trump has a massive lead in the polls
Cruz is in 2nd place
If the other candidates cannot beat Trump, how are they going to beat Hillary?
Time to rally around the Constitution.
Cruz is the leader for that goal but, it’s going to be a heck of a fight.
Ted Cruz as the only conservative who is electable is a no brainer.
Both Constitutional foundations and Christian values would lose in a straight-up fight.
We need to copy the Left's long march.
Cruz might do what you say - if he could be elected.
Hmm. Two of the incredibly few conservative columnists/pundits left that I still actually hold in high regard for their unwavering consistency over many, many years... Brent Bozell opts for Cruz, and Phyllis Schlafly opts for Trump.
Truthfully, I think Cruz is the better man. But, Trump appears the first one to come along with the actual ability to smash the maddening, decades-old PC paradigm that has kept the nation in a suffocating, ossified strangehold that has fed and bred the march towards degenerate cultural-marxism. That counts for an awful lot. An awful lot.
"Trump has an inconsistent record when it comes to civil liberties. He supported the NSA mass surveillance program but did not weigh in on the recently passed reforms. Overall, he has avoided commenting on religious freedom, but says he would be an advocate for Christians. Trump supports an individual’s right to make unlimited campaign contributions, but advocates for an end to soft money in politics. Most concerning is Trump’s belief that the government can use eminent domain powers to seize private property for economic benefit for others."
Trump supports the NSA’s metadata collection program, saying, “I support legislation which allows the NSA to hold the bulk metadata. For oversight, I propose that a court, which is available any time on any day, is created to issue individual rulings on when this metadata can be accessed.” This position was identical to the NSA’s mass surveillance program before being reformed by the USA Freedom Act. (Newsweek)
Trump has avoided commenting on religious freedom since Indiana passed its Religious Freedom and Restoration Act into law. Instead, he has said that he will be the “greatest representative of the Christians they've had in a long time” if elected president. (Christian Today) (Breitbart)
Trump believes political soft money should be banned, while individuals should be allowed to make unlimited contributions. "If I were drawing a political cartoon to represent the situation, it would include a very large guy with a huge bag of money. On that bag would be written one word: soft. Soft money is the bane of the current system and we need to get rid of it." (The America We Deserve)
Trump supported the Supreme Court’s 2005 decision in Kelo v. City of New London, giving public authorities the right to seize private land for economic development by private investors. Trump said, “I happen to agree with [the decision] 100 percent.” (National Review)
Trump highlighted his support for prosecuting "hate crimes" against homosexuals in his 2000 book, The America We Deserve. “Hate Crime” is a term used to extend special protections for a specific classes and in essence elevates the importance of these classes above others. For example, murder of homosexual or heterosexual should be viewed equally under the law and punished equally. Creating special classes is a liberal tactic used to divide and segment society.(Google Books)
Trump said that Kim Davis should not have been jailed for refusing to issue gay marriage licenses. He also said that she should allow her deputy clerks to do so, but also said that 30 miles away you can get a license so people should do that. He added, "The decision's been made, and that is the law of the land." (CNN)
Much like his stance on eminent domain, Donald Trump has shown a troubling tendency to want to use the power of government to stifle political speech. When the conservative Club for Growth released an advertisement regarding Trump's changing positions on taxation, Trump responded with a legal letter calling for them to cease and desist the advertisements. A chilling move towards the silencing of political speech. (Politico)
Donald Trump attacked SuperPACs (political action committees) in the third Republican debate. By suggesting they should be outlawed he came out against the First Amendment protection of speech, and echoed progressive talking points. (Time)
I've been assured Crewz Helmet is in control.
Surely you must know Cruz is winning by now.
There are lots of timid conservatives around who are just too scared to support Cruz. They scream about wanting a real conservative as a candidate then pick someone who is not because they worry about electability. That is a loser’s game.
How does every one know so well that a conservative can’t be elected when we haven’t nominated one in 30 years?
I hear people say that Cruz is unlikable and I ask “By whom?” The answer is by liberals and rhino’s. That sounds like a selling point to me.
I hear people say “I don’t like his voice.” Really?
I hear people say “He’s never run a successful business.” Ronald Reagan was an actor.
I hear people say “His wife works for Goldman Sachs so he is in their pocket.” So why is he not a mega millionaire from all the evil money they toss around? He surely has had a chance, in all his time in the Senate, to bend some rules at their behest so he could collect some big paydays.
We need to stop being so eager to choose someone that will be acceptable to everyone else and get pushing hard for a Strong Conservative Candidate. I will not slack in this primary because we finally have what we always say we want.
Cruz is the only lifelong, principled, constitutional conservative in this race.
I’m not surprised to hear common sense and reason from Bozell.
He’s absolutely right.
So he can get eaten alive by the media who will lie and distort everything that he has done since his birth in Canada? No thanks.

But...But...But....Mike Tyson supports Donald Trump/ /s
If the right is to rally around Ted Cruz for President, it better start getting its’ “natural born citizen” argument in order, because the media is going to try to convince America that he is not eligible to serve.
