Cruz Won’t Reply to NYTimes Calling His Views ‘Strange’- He’s Got 5 Proud Americans to Do it For Him

Independent Journal Review ^ | 4/21/15 | Katie LaPotin

[americas.best.days...]

This fight will be won or lost in the media.

This is what winning looks like.

Cruz or lose!

[dp0622]

I still say we switch the motto to CRUZ CANT LOSE! or CRUZ THEY LOSE!!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Liberal papers have set the agenda for too long.
Conservative candidates should just flip them off.

[Hotlanta Mike]

Yeah, Cruz versus the Teleprompter....

[Excellence]

SPLC = one man and a fax machine catering to those who want to believe.

When can we stop pretending that Rand Paul is sane, that Walker has any charisma at all, that Rubio isn’t a waffle, that Hucksterbee isn’t Incredibly Irrelevant, That Bush isn’t a World government man, that Christie isnt just toast, that Graham isn’t gay and just all support Cruz?

[Blennos]

“The only refuge left for those who prophesy the downfall of the State governments is the visionary supposition that the federal government may previously accumulate a military force for the projects of ambition. The reasonings contained in these papers must have been employed to little purpose indeed, if it could be necessary now to disprove the reality of this danger. That the people and the States should, for a sufficient period of time, elect an uninterrupted succession of men ready to betray both; that the traitors should, throughout this period, uniformly and systematically pursue some fixed plan for the extension of the military establishment; that the governments and the people of the States should silently and patiently behold the gathering storm, and continue to supply the materials, until it should be prepared to burst on their own heads, must appear to every one more like the incoherent dreams of a delirious jealousy, or the misjudged exaggerations of a counterfeit zeal, than like the sober apprehensions of genuine patriotism.

I had to read this carefully three times before I could begin to understand it.

Read the Madison quote carefully.

Particularly where he talks about the people and the States electing a string of leaders inclined to tyranny.

He’s talking specifically about how the States elect Senators. Or at least did, before the 17th Amendment. IOW if you want to find the thing that has, more than anything else, enabled the spread of tyranny, thats the place to look.

[WKUHilltopper]

To totalitarian fodder....individual rights are strange.

[Revelation 911]

now if he'd only ask Palin to be his VP he'd live rent free in dems heads

I like him - I like him a lot - but it is still early.....my only desire is if he would pull a Rand Paul and turn the tables like Rand did with the gotcha abort question

I'm amused by this guys demeanor though - he always seems unflappable, with that faint smile, while dems get all foamy in response to his logic and policies

[dp0622]

Rand did a great job with that one. And repubicans should HAMMER home the 9 month abortion issues, show pictures, sonograms, play nasty and dirty, most Americans know this is just murder at nine months, let it hit home, but republicans are too wishy washy

[JRandomFreeper]

I like him - I like him a lot - but it is still early..

It's only early if you don't care who the nominee is.

As for me and mine, all time and effort and extra money go to Cruz. I KNOW what I want in a president. It ain't what the media and GOP-E pick, that's for sure.

Way to go, Ted!

It's early days, early days. Patience.

[dp0622]

not a virtue of mine. I will try harder.

[conservativejoy]

I LIKE IT!

You know, things are more like they are today than they ever will be tomorrow.

[marktwain]

If you read the Madison quote carefully, you see that he is describing conditions of today’s society rather well.

What the founders did not forsee was the centralization of the media and its takeover by an ideology dedicated to advancing the power of the state, by any means necessary.

Decentralization of the old media power is the primary fight. It is accomplished by exposing their agenda, propaganda and lies. That is our fight, it is the fight that freerepublic does well. We have to win, because, as Ted Cruz says, we have nowhere to run to.
