Folks, we need to keep our eye on the prize and settle down. We are going to have a great pro-America candidate whether it's Cruz or Trump, and we're going to crush the godless America-hating Marxist/fascist felon, Hillary Clinton, in the general election! And that's just a fact.
And that's the bottom line.
We are finally going to secure our borders and start helping repatriate the illegal aliens to Mexico or where ever they came from. And we're going to tighten up and start enforcing our immigration laws, including ending sanctuary cities and possibly ending anchor babies. Both of our leading candidates agree on that.
And we're going to repeal Obamacare, cut taxes, cut spending, cut regulations, cut the government, cut the debt, cut the global balonyism, cut the P/C crap. We're going to cut the EPA, cut the education dept, cut a whole lot of unconstitutional stuff out of the federal government and let the states control education and other issues that the constitution reserves to them. Both of our guys agree on that.
We're going to pay more attention to trade deals and get better deals for American industry and American workers for a change. We're going to bring back capital, bring back manufacturing, bring back jobs! Cutting taxes, cutting government, rolling back regulations and replacing socialism with capitalism will see to a booming Reaganesque economy and that will generate prosperity and jobs. Cruz, Trump and all of us agree on all of that.
We also agree that we want pro-life, pro-family, pro-constitution, pro-America judges. Both our candidates agree with us on that.
We also want to rebuild our military and make it the most powerful force for peace and defense on the planet. We emphasize peace through strength and do not use our military for nation building or social engineering. We understand it's for blowing the crap out of terrorists and war mongers who wish to do us harm. And both of our candidates are on board for that.
Hillary stands for the exact opposite on all of the above!!
This primary is going to be over soon and we're all going to have to make a decision. No matter whether Cruz gets it or Trump, we must unite behind OUR candidate and the AMERICAN side and do all we possibly can to get him elected and send the unindicted felon and all around America-hating, liberty-hating traitor, Hillary Clinton to her well deserved next term--in jail.
I say we drop the vitriol against each other and against our leading candidates as of now. We're only serving to harden the hearts of our natural allies against us and from this point forward, the hit pieces will not change minds or votes, but will possibly feed the enemy propaganda machine.
Lighten up and bring some joy back into our lives and peace on our board.
We're among friends here.
Thank you all very much.
God bless.
Agreed
I was beginning to believe I must not be a very good conservative because I refused to buy into the "a good conservative eats their own" meme.
Undoubtedly, many here will have their litmus test, and by their standards most if not all candidates will fail. As you say Jim . . . its about stopping the liberals/progressives/marxist/socialist/communist or whatever new name or brand they come up with next.
I would tend to agree with you. I think Cruz will struggle in the general as I don’t know if he has the charisma and crossover appeal. I would support him, though.

(grabs the Trumpster in his right arm, and the Cruzer in his left arm - not to imply Ted is a leftlist)
(they let it all out in a three minute sob)
Sap: “Ok enough of this touchy feely stuff, even if it gets us the gay vote.”
Trump: “Ted, you have a light for my torch?”
Ted: “Sure Donnie.”
Ted: “Donnie, can you loan me 20 bucks for a new pitchfork? Somebody stole my current one. Oh, wait, make that 50 bucks for a ‘made-in-America’ pitchfork.”
Donald: “Here you go, yah yah it’s a 100 dollar bill but’s that’s all I carry these days. It’s worth it to save Americans’ jobs.”
Sap: “I luv you guys...(eyes water).”
Thanks, Jim.
I can only hope...

YES!! Thank you for reminding us all, Jim.
An end to the traditional (and suicidal) Circular Firing Squad that too often characterizes the right.
You're absolutely correct -- we're among friends here. That's certainly why I'm here.
God Bless you and Free Republic, and God Bless Our Beloved America!

All the remaining candidates, even Kasich and Rubio, are immeasurably superior to Hillary Clinton.
I have no problem with Cruz or Trump. No one is perfect. Either one of them will need their feet held to the fire. I wish everyone here would chill out and realize we’re all on the same team. God Bless.
Amen and thank you.
I’ll give you this.. If trump stays the course on where he stands yes I will. If he starts moving left (and I hate to say it, I am seeing a bit of this)... He might get to far left for me to vote for..
I am kinda sick of holding my nose and voting for a slower death of my country.

It kind of started when someone on one of the networks referred to “FreepRublic that website run by that Jim Thompson guy” getting Jim Robinson’s name wrong while trying to appear “in-the-know.”
So with B-Chan’s stirring call for all of us to take the position like the movie and say, “ I am Spartacus” using the Thompson name. Then to prove how virile Jim Thompson was someone came up with the picture that “TheOldLady” uses at post#43 on that thread and when the name comes up we generally see that picture.
We occasionally tell Jim that he looks a lot like that guy but I don’t think he is buying it.
Best regards to the unreconstructed monarchist B-Chan where ever you are these days.
I posted on another thread in this same general vane a few minutes ago, you’re not the only one trying to get people to be civil.
Myself, I’ve always tried to do that, I never use any of the pet names for any of the candidates, I don’t think I’ve ever been insulting to anyone here or any other forum, that’s just the way I prefer to do things.
In some cases, I Just stay out of the discussion, rather then jumping in the mud with them if it looks like a bunch of 4th graders arguing over a sandlot baseball game.
A little off topic, I’m listening to primary results, Trump just did his press conference, one of the first things he did was congratulate Cruz for his wins. Once again he shows class. I haven’t seen anyone else do that, unless I missed it when Cruz was speaking.
Both have their faults, but I’ll vote for either one to keep Hillary out of the White House. Hell, I’d vote for anybody not named Jeb or Marco...I just can’t stand either of those two...
Judging from the tone of posts following today’s results, I have to suggest that the only way you will restore a semblance of civility on the forum is by cleaning out the worst of the slaggers, trolls, and provocateurs on both sides. This is something I think has to be done even if I turn out to be one of those affected. Maybe two or three month suspensions for those the moderators feel are out of bound a lor of the tine.
I fear there won’t be voluntary compliance.
I really hope so. The thought of another Clinton makes me physically ill.
To (mis)quote Spike Jones: “We HEIL! HEIL! Right in der Hillary’s face!” :-P
Jim,
Can will still make fun of Jeb and Rubio? ...and maybe Kasich?
I mean, his father was a mailman!
