No less than a high-ranking Soviet defector (Oleg Gordievsky, perhaps?) said that McCarthy was correct, but his mistake was casting his net too broadly at once...his line was something like “he was using a shotgun when he should have used a flyswatter”.
And Machiavelli makes good evening reading...in his own allegorical words to a friend, at the end of the day he took off the muddy clothes of his day’s labors, put on the toga befitting his station, and retired to his study to write and confer with the great minds of antiquity.
I'm guessing that his early childhood is partly at fault for his social oddness. We know his father was an alcoholic and left the home when he was a small child. His half-sister died a drug addict and convict. It indicates something may have been wrong in the family. Also, the fact that he did not like or participate in sports was not a healthy thing. Good parents would ensure that he was exposed to sports. Lots of socialization occurs quite naturally shooting hoops in the parking lot or playing neighborhood football in the backyard. So many questions about him are left unanswered. He is truly the Republican Obama. What motivated the guy to run for President? Why did he decide to run at such a young age with virtually no management experience in his life? Why does he continue to lie about so many things? Why does he backstab his opponents -- Kasich, Rubio, Trump, Carson? A Christian man doesn't do those things, and yet he has painted himself to be the anointed one whom God has sent to have Dominion over the world. Machiavellian or not, there are plenty of red flags and contradictions surrounding Mr. Cruz. We can only conclude that putting him in the highest office of the land would be a very risky move indeed. |
