That's why I say it's a mistake -- and it's being demonstrated more and more than ever before now -- it's a mistake to go on Drive-By Media as a conservative to try to get them to understand. They don't want to understand. They don't think they're wrong. There's nothing a Republican presidential candidate could say to George Stephanopoulos or Charlie Rose or any of them to make them change their mind. Nothing. It isn't gonna happen. That's not why they invite them there. They don't invite Republicans on these shows 'cause they really care what they think. They invite them on these shows to expose them. Can I give you an example? Let me jump forward here, find the sound bites. Ted Cruz went on Mark Halperin's show, whatever it's called. Let me just give you an example here. I'm not gonna have time to get to all these. Bloomberg TV, All Due Respect, Mark Halperin, John Heilemann, liberal cohost. There's Ted Cruz talking about his background. They are assaulting Cruz on whether he's an authentic Hispanic. Now, listen to this.
HALPERIN: People are really interested in you and your identity, so I just want to ask you, as a historical matter, when you filled out your application to Princeton, to Harvard Law School, did you list yourself as an Hispanic?
CRUZ. Oh, sure. I've listed myself as Cuban-American. That's my heritage and my background.
RUSH: Right. Okay. Here's the next one. Listen to this.
HALPERIN: Talk a little bit more about your Cuban heritage and ask you in the following categories whether you have an affinity for or a connection to anything part of your Cuban past. You got a favorite Cuban food, Cuban dish?
CRUZ: Oh, I grew up eating Cuban food all the time --
HALPERIN: What's your favorite dish?
CRUZ: -- at my grandparents. You know, picadillo I grew up eating all the time. We had plantains. We had beans and rice. For Christmas, we would roast a whole pig a lot of years for Christmas Eve. And so my grandparents, my abuelo and abuela, they didn't speak English.
RUSH: You see what this is? He's not an authentic Hispanic. He's a conservative. He's a fake, he's a phony. What is your favorite Cuban dish? It's pointless here. It's insulting. This is demeaning, it's racist, and it's disgusting. And here's the last one.
HALPERIN: Do you have a favorite Cuban singer?
CRUZ: You know, I have to admit in that I'm much more of a Texan. I tend to listen to country music more than Cuban music.
HALPERIN: Finally, you know, we wanted to give you the opportunity to directly welcome your colleague, Senator Sanders, to the race, and I'd like you to do it, if you would, en Espanol.
CRUZ: I'm gonna stick to English, but I appreciate the invitation, Senor.
RUSH: So you can't even speak Spanish, eh? You call yourself an Hispanic? The whole point of this was to expose Ted Cruz as a fraud, that he's not a Hispanic. The whole point of this interview was to say to liberals and Hispanics: don't buy this Cruz guy as one of you. He can't even speak their language. What is this, he doesn't even have a favorite Cuban singer. He can't even answer these questions about basic life in Cuba.
That's what this is all about. They didn't care what Ted Cruz really thinks about issues. They don't give a rat's rear end about Ted Cruz and his policy. The whole reason Ted Cruz was invited there was to expose him or present him as an unqualified fraud and faker. So the idea that the libs are gonna get their minds right on gun control or conservatism, ain't gonna happen, folks.
Yes, I’ve read that also. But, I’m sure he could have said ‘’Bienvenido, Bernie”— which is what they asked him to say. -)
I no longer try to convince liberals of the truth, as they are impervious to it. No matter what data is put in front of their ample noses, they’ll scream “racist,” squeal that you’re simply propagating Fox News “lies,” and continue on with their deluded worldview.
I’ve gotten to the point that ridiculing them is more fun than trying to get them to see the truth their sick, perverted minds can’t comprehend.
You are blessed to still have her... Thanks so much for sharing.
Cruz knows how to deal with liberal elites - most of our guys don’t have a clue... that’s an important difference.
Thank you. I can’t describe the pizza. you have to taste it to believe it. :)
she’s 82, I’m 46. The Mediterranean diet they brought over with them is very healthy (I don’t eat it) and all the older folk are into 90s easy.
When democrats are willing to have Hannity, Rush, and Krauthammer as moderators we’ll accept George, Candy, and Todd. Until then - you’re right justlurking - let’s tell ‘em to eff off....
Modern liberals are trying to convince people that there is no way to be certain about anything.
They attend "reason" rallies to justify their unreasonableness.
They build consensus by promoting ignorance.
And thus are certifiable.
Consensus through ignorance!
Sadly, you're right.
A brave new world, indeed.
Yep
I beg to differ.
The leftists in Big Media do care what Cruz believes.
He supports free markets, limited government, some form of border security, and traditional Judeo-Christian social morality.
He does not support sodomy, or abortion, or socialist tyranny, or unlimited third-world illegal immigration.
But they already know this, so they don't ask about it. Instead, they use any means necessary to trash him personally and professionally.
Ted is one of those rare talents who can flay an opponent while smiling ever so disarmingly. It's fun watching him at work. I think the GOP-e powers that be will succeed in keeping him from getting the GOP nomination, but Hillary has to fear the foreboding prospect of having to go mano-a-mano against him in a debate.
The apostle Peter exhorts believers in Jesus Christ to "be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you"(1 Peter 3:15).The conservative worldview based on Christianity explains the facts of reality better than any other worldview because it relies upon divine inspiration, observation, reason, personal experience,history,and intuition.It's the duty of Christians to share their faith and worldview with such a spiritually and intellectually rootless generation of libtards.
