We need him more than ever. Our country is almost done.
bump
Bump!
He may just be the lunatic were looking for.
Why was candidate Obama never referred to as a firebrand? The man was a community agitator for Pete’s sake!
Firebrand - a person who is passionate about a particular cause, typically inciting change and taking radical action.
“a political firebrand”
synonyms: radical, revolutionary, agitator, rabble-rouser, incendiary, subversive, troublemaker
Are Hillary or Elizabeth Warren ever described as “hardcore” progressives?
I expect this from the mainstream media. But the ostensibly Conservative media should know better. These words have meanings and need to be chosen wisely.
JMHO
The phrases like “hardcore conservatives” and “Firebrand” in this “Breitbart” piece come off like an MSM hit piece...interesting.
Since Ted Cruz has very near unanimous support here at good old FR, it seem appropriate for Jim to offer up our services in support of the Cruz campaign.
I’m not sure exactly what we would do but the expertise that exists within the membership of Free Republic is really something to behold. We’ve all seen it in action. There is some real brainpower at work here and surely we should be able to bring it to bear on the most important election of our lifetimes.
Jim: contact Ted Cruz and tell him we are ready.
Breitbart has gotten very slow to load for me. I use dsl so I am accustomed to not real fast. But it times out often.
Suddenly there are rules?
later.
The Republican elites don’t like Firebrands. They don’t like real orators, or even good stump speakers like Palin. They like mumblers like Bush, Dole, Bush, McCain and Romney, the kind who do their talking to small groups of donors.
Rule# 2- Vote for Jeb.
Rule# 3- See Rules 1&2.
I love the courage of TC. I am concerned about his electability. I would vote Bush if it meant beating HRC. But oh how I would love to see President Cruz!
In a good way , so to speak...
( GEORGE C. SCOTT PATTON’S VOICE )
TED CRUZ ?
YOU OLD CALCULATING SLY FOX !
YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARD !
CRUZ TIDE !
NO TIME TO LOSE, SUPPORT TED CRUZ !
UNITED WE STAND WITH TED !
UNI-TED WE CRUZ !
UNITED WE WIN !
UNITED WE OVERCOME !
THE CRUZ NATION !
You maybe right, I maybe crazy, but I’m is just the lunatic you been looking for. Billy Joel.
TED CRUZ The GOPe Party Crasher.
He maybe just the lunatic we been looking for.
I agree. I just don’t see Cruz as a “firebrand” or a “hardcore” anything. Those words carry with them negative connotations and are chosen and used for a reason. The radical left is projecting who they really are onto their opponents. There is nothing radical about Liberty or Conservatism, except in the minds of the progressives, socialists, and big government types.
Cruz is a principled Conservative who believes and upholds the Constitution and the Rule of Law. And a Christian, which is quite a refreshing change from the last few election cycles. This nation has suffered greatly by electing folks without any moral compass.
One of the most annoying phrases out there. What does it mean that “America is a center-right country” other than that one’s measure of America leans left? If the “center of America” is to the “right”, what kind of scale is being used?
Not only does the phrase betray the bias of those who utter it, but it is fundamentally meaningless.
