You are the liberal in this discussion.

No moron. I oppose government theft of private property. You support it. That is the liberal position. Taking from a to give to b. Learn to live with it.

if you think Cruz’ vote on that bill makes him liable for jihadists nut actions.

I didn't say he was liable, those are words you chose. I wouldn't have chosen those words.

In your earlier example of the knife being sold to a known killer who is professing to kill again, the store isn't liable, but they are complicit in the killing.

I say that Cruz's vote for Corker is perhaps one of two things;

A vote cast with ignorance of the effect of his vote, which calls into question his wisdom.

OR

Cruz knew the effect of his vote, which would raise the question of why he cast that vote, as his love of America is without question. I have my own theories, and they align with theories Trump has proposed.

Either way, Cruz is not liable, only complicit.

It's your test, you wrote the questions, and you get to determine which are the correct answers.

However, to the reader of the criteria you've set forth, an answer to why the support for Corker would seem to be an important one in 'the protection of life' section.

Lol. Disingenuous does not begin to describe that nonsense. You said Cruz violated the right to life test by voting to delay the release of Iranian assets. Complete and utter nonsense that only makes sense if the writer of that crap is a nutty liberal. Cheers!

John McCain is a National Review conservative.


Romney is their #1. In 2008, 2012 and 2016 (the trial balloon is out there).

You know the old saying ‘If you’re getting flak you’re over the target’?

Go back and look how many personal attacks you’ve ‘fired’ at me trying to defend a shaky position. One for every response by you to serious questions I raise.

You obviously don’t have anything of substance to fire at me, only harmless flak.

Cruz is a good guy, I was the first on FR to repeatedly champion him as a VP for Trump.

Great post. The clear-eyed on this site have been making the same points about Trump for quite some time.

Rush is right 98 percent of the time. This is one of the two percent, and that’s unfortunate because the Republic hangs in the balance.

I oppose government theft of private property. You support it.

No I don't but I recognize the necessity and so do you. I am not in favor of Kelo as such, of course I do not live under the illusion of property ownership in the first place. You are merely a renter and the tax man can raise your rent anytime he wants. Time was, long past, when homestead exemption was designed to keep the government from taxing you out of your homestead.

You rationalize theft by government to support Trump. I know you are not a liberal but supporting Kelo is a liberal position. What you and other supporters should be doing is getting Trump to renounce Kelo.

I think the entire premise is wrong.

Rush is not supporting Trump anymore than Mark Levin, Hannity or other Conservative commentators.

By that I mean that they are not supporting him, but are defending him against the left wing attack machine and the GOPe as well.

While I may occasionally post a somewhat negative analysis of trump, they have stayed out of the fray and by doing that only appear to be supporting him or by inference, endorsing him.

I find myself being somewhat careful in my criticism as well. I am enjoying the political silly season for the first time in ages.

There is along way to go folks.....My primary support and vote was written in stone before Cruz announced, and he was first, if I recall correctly.

The general election slate has yet to be formed, and anything can happen between now and then.

You rationalize theft by government to support Trump.

No I don't but you use Kelo to trash Trump. I point out that Kelo was wrong but Eminent Domain is not, it is a sad but necessary evil.

Someone with serious balls is desperately needed this cycle. Trump or Cruz. Warts and all.
Hillary's got a pair, but who knows if she'll last long enough

And on the other side, Trump and Cruz are the only ones who have 'em.

Look friend. You don’t understand the “TAKINGS” clause. Eminent domain does not allow TAKINGS for private economic development. Google Justice Scalia and Kelo.

One other thing. Trump trashes Trump by supporting Kelo. What if he supported Roe or Dred Scott?

All of Trump’s campaign rhetoric centers on power politics — strength, American greatness — often in terms which would not look out of place in a speech by some nationalistic autocrat. And this doesn’t appear to bother his followers one bit

This is my fear with Trump as well. We are ushering in someone "to get things done", and he is used to doing "whatever it takes to succeed"... Limited government principles do not seem to be a part of the plan. This is something to be very concerned about, and not many people are discussing it.

You don’t see any similarities between Rush and Trump? Why else would they flock together?

I think it’s both.
