Ted Cruz is WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, I think Cruz is in a difficult position. If he says, stand your ground and fight, he will be accused of advocating violence. If he says nothing, he doesn’t care. And saying stand down makes him look weak. Three bad choices. Which one do you choose?
IMHO, stand down is the best of the bad choices. For one thing, the powers that be in Washington are looking for any excuse to unleash a whole lot of hurt on all of us. An armed insurrection would give them that excuse. For another, are we sure all peaceful, legal remedies have been exhausted? Do these two guys have a right to appeal? If so, it may be prudent to wait till everything else has been tried and has failed before we go the armed insurrection route.
I think civil war is coming and it’s inevitable. But it’s not something to rush into without careful consideration of the pros and cons and an effective strategy. Do these protesters have a clear plan of action?
Do you think any candidate is going to advocate the threat of violence in this case?
The situation just ended without bloodshed. The protesters did not have the support of the ranchers whom they claimed to represent nor did they have the backing of any of the militia groups in the area.
