I cannot speak for Cruz or for all Cruz supporters but I can speak for me.
You have served our country in its military forces and achieved the rank of captain. No one gave that to you. You earned it.
You were born female and have nothing to ashamed of on that score any more than I should apologize for being male.
People who descend to the level of calling women "bitch" or "whore" rather than engage in rational argument humiliate themselves and are entitled to no attention except as a preliminary to arranging for them to ride the lightning.
If you and I were acquainted, I feel sure that we would have areas of disagreement. Go, team! That's part of our freedom for which you fought or were willing to fight. And discussing your choice, if you choose to dos so. is also part of our freedom which you stood ready to defend.
If people calling you a "Clintonite" are making a racial presumption, they should be ashamed of themselves. Some lacks have always been Republican. Even more blacks have been social and military conservatives. People like Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams understand, as Milton Friedman once observed, that capitalism is a level playing field for everyone and no dollar that ever came into his possession ever asked first if he was a Jew, only whether his competence and diligence had earned that dollar. I look forward to a day when we can clear the GOP-E out of the way and treat each person with respect and convince many who are now Democrats to become, most importantly, conservative and consequently willing to vote Republican.
Thomas Sowell used to be an actual communist party member until he changed his ideology. Most founding editors of National Review who were recruited by ill Buckley were actual communists at some stage of their lives, most of whom defected to conservatism after WW II.
As a Cruz supporter, but more importantly, as an American, I wish you every success and that you choose whatever candidate, in your own judgment would do the best job for our country and its institutions and work as hard as you know how to elect that candidate. If that candidate is Donald Trump, I shall not presume to deride your choice. You are every bit as entitled to make it as I am to choose Cruz and probably a bit more so since you are a veteran and I am not.
If Trump is nominated, I will very likely vote for him, but I would feel a lot better about it if he would explain his specific policy positions much more clearly as he has on immigration, guns, VA policy ad a few others.
In any event, may God bless you and yours abundantly and thanks for being an important part of FR!
God bless you!
If people calling you a "Clintonite" are making a racial presumption...
Why would you go there with no knowledge? They called her that because she posted it in the past.
The misogynist name-calling I’ve seen on FR has been by the Cruzers since a few days ago when Sarah Palin endorse Trump. She’s been called names and things have been said about her here on FR that make me ashamed. The War on Palin, much of it because of and inspired by her being a female. (FYI I am male.)...NONE of it would have been said if Palin had endorsed Cruz. But because she didn’t all the things the left has called her since 2008 have now been recycled and repeated on FR. And that’s just the ones that were so bad Jim didn’t have to delete them. I can only imagine the words they called Sarah that Jim had to delete the whole post.
