It seems like he is reading up on RR and articulating those values, as well Thatcher.Funny that you should ention THOSE TWO people. ;)
Last week, just before this FReep, I got my 2014 Calendar from Hillsdale College:
Inside, as you might imagine, each month features an elegant photograph, mostly of scenes from around the college...
...but ONLY THREE public figures grace the pages of next year's calendar from America's Home of Liberty in Academia......Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher -- and TED CRUZ!
THEIR actual image is much nicer than THIS one, also from his Commencement Address there...
...and at the "after party," Senator Cruz signed MY COPY of that calendar photograph. :)
