Not even slightly. First of all, there is more to life than Internet discussion forums. But If supporting a fine, qualified candidate like scott walker can get your posting right revoked, then, then that tells you more about the value of your posting rights than anything else.

The only reason why the confederate flag became an emblem in the south is because of the Dixiecrats using it in 1948.

What crybabies you are. Point to even one poster zotted just because they didn’t “support” Ted Cruz. Hell, there are numerous Trump, Romney, Bush and Christie supporters here. Get over yourselves.

[JohnBrowdie]

nasty indeed. seems to happen in every thread, and it’s always the same actors.

[JohnBrowdie]

now you’re trying to act like you never posted 12 or 17, which is sort of irrational.

[Nuc 1.1]

Our would be masters think themselves so powerful that they can dictate what a state flag must look like. Soon, they will want us to line the roads and cheer as they pass by in their motorcades. Those of us not cheering robustly enough will be sent to re-education camps, where we will be... processed. Screw them.

I was asking if you didn’t understand sarcasm, because English might not be your strongest language. Scott sure is drawing in the intelligentsia, isn’t he?

[2ndDivisionVet]

Uh huh.

[cripplecreek]

Pretty ballsy statement for Lindsey but its nice to see that he stands for something.

[Dr. Sivana]

The author’s point that there is no unbroken tradition of that flag is irrelevant to Cruz’ point, which is that South Carolina gets to select her own flag. All the window dressing doesn’t even touch that argument.

LIBERALS NEVER QUIT with their attacks of SYMBOLISM OVER SUBSTANCE !

These stinking LIARS always divert from the truth that Obama is EVIL and is a FASCIST.
They don't DARE debate the FACTS that their leader is a LIAR !
Booker T. Washington nailed the truth about them long ago.

Take a look at Booker T. Washington on Black Victimhood.
This is a very important fact THAT IS NOT BEING TAUGHT TODAY !

A number of black “leaders” (e.g., Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton) have made their living by promoting black victimhood and white guilt.
Jesse Jackson has been shaking down corporations with the scam for decades.
Booker T. Washington (1865–1915) warned of such people within the black community in his 1911 book My Larger Education.
He described them as “problem profiteers”:

“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the public.
Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs
– partly because they want sympathy
and partly because it pays.
Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances,
because they do not want to lose their jobs.”
(p. 118)

I’m sure he remembers what happened to the Mississippi Democratic governor who tried to get rid of the stars & bars on their state flag about 10 or15 years ago.

[JohnBrowdie]

jeez. you got angry and said something stupid, which seems to happen a lot, and now you can’t seem to disengage.

Ted Cruz is a fine senator and a compelling presidential candidate, but he seems to attract a lot of constantly angry people. Seriously. Nearly unhinged.

[Reno89519]

Bush III?! No way, guess you haven’t been reading on FreeRepublic much. I was one of the first to donate to and support Cruz. I’ve tired of his non-answers on illegal alien amnesty, on his trade positions, and so forth. But I’ll sit out before I vote for Bush III, his stab-in-the-back shadow Rubio, Christie, Fiorina, and most of the others. Walker is possible but I tire of the spamming a couple of his supporters do to support him. Right now it is a free-for-all and I like the pot stirring that Trump brings to the mix. Doubt we’ll have the chance to vote Clinton or Trump, but that would be interesting. His policies are not a consideration to me at the moment—he’s already made perfectly clear on the key ones: illegal aliens, the border, US exceptionalism/nationalism, restoring America. The others also have their points and lots to consider. Right now, I am railing on anyone that does not want to give a straight answer to questions, who doesn’t have the conviction to give clear yes/no answers.

>> I would ponder the notion of a strong central government vs. state’s rights. I fully understand that concept today. The Founding Fathers warned of the former and were advocates of the later <<

You apparently missed the section in the history books about the Article of Confederation and Shay's Rebellion while you were pondering that question. The purpose of the U.S Constitution was to create a stronger federal government. The federalists who wrote articles in favor of ratifying the U.S. Constition WANTED a stronger national government. The anti-federalists, who were AGAINST ratifying the U.S. Constituiton, wanted to maintain the state-driven government that existed under the Article of Confederation.

[2ndDivisionVet]

I said nothing that I didn’t mean. Chew on that.

[smokingfrog]

We all know the stars & bars did not cause this punk kid to murder 9 innocents. Just another example of opportunism on the left.

[smokingfrog]

Idiotic “gotcha” questions don’t even deserve a legitimate answer.

[House Atreides]

“Cruz makes a great poster boy for non-answers. ... If he was to be a winning candidate, a leader, he needs to offer clarity, not non-answers. No sympathy to him and is coy games.”
****************************************************************************************************
The Left always tells you who they fear...and they fear Ted Cruz mightily. He’s far too intelligent to fall into any of the “traps” that they set for him and thus avoids giving them ammunition with which they could pound him. The Left appears to find this VERY frustrating...and apparently you do also.

Actually, he did give an answer:

“Sen. Ted Cruz says whether or not South Carolina removes the Confederate flag from a state house memorial is an issue for the state to decide...”

You and the Left may not like that answer but it’s an honest one. And it’s a CONSTITUTIONAL CONSERVATIVE answer. I suspect that Ted Cruz will continue to leave both you and the leftist media very frustrated.

Deal with it...you won’t find Ted Cruz to be another Akin dim-wit committing political suicide.
