I remember Rudy saying states have the right to regulate guns, but the Feds don’t. If we favor states’ rights, we should be consistent. The Bill of Rights is not automatically incorporated into all state law. And if we don’t like our state’s laws, we move.

So true.

Fits in great with Trump then...
Mark my words: if Trump secures the nomination anyone foolish enough to vote for this charlatan will regret it. He IS a NY liberal lying his face off...

Get it right,

I'd like a $ for every time in the past year Trump and his Trumpets have taken a dump on conventional conservative wisdom here at FR. They have used the political equivalency of political Jedi Mind Tricks to dupe many into that this carnival barker is the reincarnation of Reagan.

Four years ago Rudy was a pariah here at at FR, and now all the sudden he has become a FR Darling.......

It'd would be funny, but in true reality it is beyond sad.

The talking heads still don't get it. In large part, America has figured it out. For the last quarter of a century, WE the Republic, have been denied the choice to say NO to socialism.

It has been a setup. The fix was always in. We, the Republic, have been loosing a war of financial attrition for decades. We, the Republic are engaged in a war with those who govern us. Drastic measures are required to defeat this enemy in order to stop the bleeding that each of us are seeing in the depreciation of our savings, the constant onslaught of taxes, fees, and licenses. Each of them designed to remove our ability to live free.

If a slave is a person who works for no money, then a paid person who works with no money left for savings or investment is therefore a slave.

The Communists are very good at planning each move, they have been at it for over sixty years, to bury us. They are so close to succeeding.

Trump has stepped in and has sensed our rage.We want to throw our shoes into the machinery. We want to turn over the apple carts and toss tea into the harbor. Trump is giving us a voice. He is giving our children and grandchildren a fighting chance of enjoying the life that our parents fought and spilled blood in Europe and Japan so as to impart liberty to ourselves.

No, we will no longer hide in the shadow of political correctness.

No, we will no longer stand idle in the face of the globalist Red Menace.

No, we will not play the game of choosing which Socialist will rob our children.

No, we will not play the game of choosing which Socialist will import an army of decapitating, lawless, savages into our home to eradicate Freedom and the American Way.

ANY and EVERY politician who will not build a wall is declaring he/she DOES NOT CARE IF YOU DIE!

I do not think Trump is a conservative.

I do not think Trump is morally pious and pure.

I do not think Trump is void of indiscretions or mistakes.

I do believe that any candidate that is a true conservative, morally pure, pious, and has walked the straight and narrow...would not stand a chance against the the globalist red menace that is systematically deconstructing our nation.

No, far from it.

Right now we need our own paladin of chaotic malice with a depraved sense of overly vengeful justice that will stand not for giving quarter. Right now we need our own Son of a Bitch glorious bastard, faults and all. We need to stomp out the treachery of political correctness that perpetuates racial discontent and has created Europe-istan, a Nuclear Iran, as well as ushering in a new world order of penniless servitude consisting of the entire earthly population bowing to but a few of the elite socialist megalomaniacs.

We need our own monster.

Ted Cruz may well be as advertised. No one knows. Four years ago, no one knew who he was.

He is young, deploy the Trump Bomb now, it is an ugly weapon of mass destruction that will result in some collateral damage, but it is required.

Alas, we have run out of time.

It will take many Ted Cruz clones to restore order in the aftermath.

Wonderful post! I agree! It took me a long while to figure out that; after decades of Liberal government doing it’s best to destroy everything Conservative and Christian that has ever made this nation great; that I could no longer combine my Christian faith with my Patriotism. It was a hard lesson, with many setbacks. But when Obama won his second term; I had to come to terms. My Christian values and beliefs can’t be changed by any government or power, but the ability to practice them and live them in peace depends on a nation and a country that will at least allow it. America is teetering on the brink of those Christian values and the practice thereof being declared illegal. In fact, there are some instances where that is already the case.

Therefore, I had to stop the unrealistic practice of judging my political choices with my faith. Politics are of worldly business and should be treated as such. Our forefathers went to great lengths to make sure that religion would never force itself on Americans. It just so happened that, since our beginnings, life here in America was compatible and almost totally in agreement with Christianity. It only took a few decades of Liberal thinking and power in politics to unleash just about every evil and depravity that is hostile to Christianity on America. They called it “progress”. They called it “advancement”. They taught it to our youth while we, in our American complacency, ignored the onslaught until it became so blatant that we couldn’t any longer. Now, after two terms of a President that hates all things American, it’s almost too late to save any vestige of what once was America, where Christians were free, safe and unfettered in the practice if their faith.

At this time in our history, Christians and Conservatives MUST come to terms with the idea that they must separate the practice of their faith with the imperative to save the America in which they MAY practice their faith.

No power on earth can take away our convictions and our Christian faith and salvation. But the freedom to practice and live it is in grave danger. Donald Trump hasn’t ever given the impression that he’ll put all the things that are the antithesis of Christianity back in the box. No one can, no matter how they try to give that impression. What he has said is that he will protect the right of Christians to practice and live their faith.

The bottom line is that a Christian nation with Christian values is not the business of government to provide. It’s the business of government to provide the freedom to live, work and teach as such without hindrance. The business of spreading the values, convictions and morals of Christians can’t be achieved by electing politicians. That’s for us to do. The business of Patriots is to protect the freedoms that make the job of Christians easier and possible. It has come to the point where Americans must stop holding on to the pipedream of a Christian President who will wave his wand(pen) and put all the modern day evils back in the box. Souls aren’t saved by political actions, good or bad. They’re saved by devoted Christians one at a time. The only thing that can be legislated is the freedom to do so.

Seriously? NO One is more an ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICAN than the Cubans!

“A Trump Giuliani ticket is unconstitutional unless Rudy has moved...”

It might be stupid, but it’s not unconstitutional.

A Trump/Giuliani ticket would be formidable

You lose any chance for the New York electoral votes: 12th Amendment.

Rudy has his upsides, but amnesty isn’t one if them. He doesn’t believe illegal entry into the US is a criminal offense.

I think Trump will continue the same with Gingrich too, probably more formally. Then maybe some guys like Krauthammer? He has Ann Coulter advising him, so he will be smart in building his "kitchen cabinet".

Trump / Gingrich anyone?

“You lose any chance for the New York electoral votes: 12th Amendment.”

Is that the only penalty? It’s not like NY is in play anyway.

Other that being pro-abortion Giuliani would be a great pick for AG. He sure as hell cleaned up NYC. Been there hundreds of times and it was basically a crime infested ghetto until he became US Attorney for the South District of NY. He put a lot of mob bosses in prison, then became Mayor and was one of the best mayors in the city’s history. Mr Law and Order!

Sheriff Arpio has already endorsed Trump and there’s no better crime fighter in the country. He used to be a top level FBI agent, then democrats took over. His age is the only thing he’s got going against him. He’s in his early 80s, but has the energy of a much younger man. He would be a great Director of Homeland Security. And I do wish it was called Director of United States Security, because Homeland sounds like something straight out of Nazi Germany.
