Have you considered that his wife is the CEO of the Houston branch of Goldman Sachs?
YES.. I’ve considered it and it bothers me...
BUT not as much as Trump bothers me...
I trust no one.. not even Cruz...
I still remember what was done to Barry Goldwater..
AND Joseph McCarthy..
Currently I have zero other choice.. than Cruz...
Even Trump looks better than the others..
You have to go with somebody... I’m left with Cruz..
Course I could learn Chinese.. if we’re totally SCREWED..
And to be honest we may be...
It could way too late to STOP THE Fascism...
America is in transition from socialism to fascism NOW..
You do know both Russia and China have slowly moved from socialism to Fascism.. don’t you?..
Both being different flavors of the same thing..
Russia China - Communism-Capitalist hybrid ... for the masses to lap up .... However, the Marxists are still there in full force, if need be. Putin is a KGB thug - a murderer, and perhaps a genocidal maniac. If you know your history about the KGB, you should know what I am stating here. The same goes for China. Their little tryst with “fascism” (as you call it) is but a means to a Global Marxist end. Don’t kid yourself - the Communists have not surrendered their doctrine, but rather suspended it in part as a matter of expediency.
Further, as the political spectrum is not a linear thing of right and left points, but rather a closed circle upon which fascism and socialism join together 180 degrees opposite from what one might call our form of constitutional representative republican government.
You do understand that socialism is also divided into two philosophical archetypes: Fabian socialism, which is the art of socialist conquest by way of stealthy incremental changes; and Marxist or Nazi-style socialism, which achieves its goals through the violent overthrow of an established order.
But do not fool yourself into believing that capitalism is some noble good. It too is fraught with the danger of tyrannical impulses - unless it be modified and tempered by the influence of Christian teaching. Thus, the idea of a separation between Church and State is a dangerous and fatal folly to desire. Even in admitting the natural antagonisms that may from time to time create conflict, yet the two cannot well exist if separated - like Siamese twins, they both need each other as a symbiotic pairing. Only the power of the Church can equal and balance the power of the State, curbing the tendency for the State’s inclination to concentrate its power and abuse its privileges. Since both the State and the Church were created by God, and power to govern comes from above, then it is the epitome of foolishness to insist that the two are natural enemies. The animosity only develops when the State, no longer under the restraining and beneficial influence of divine law and supernatural grace, begins its inevitable descent into godless tyranny - whence it then begins to subvert justice, undermine economy, and corrupt the monetary proxy that equates to a man’s life. Thus comes the enslavement of men by way of debt, concupiscence, moral decay, and eventual dissolution from the divine natural order.
In that dreadful set of circumstances, men will behave as beasts, having neither fear of God, nor respect for his fellow man, nor any affinity for the natural law - and thus, being given over to depraved minds, men will then think themselves wise in their own vanity, though they be fools in truth.
