Jeb won’t be the nominee.
I am unable to read farther than this :
“I am not suggesting that the frustration may not be justified; I’m suggesting that the rage buoying up Trump’s campaign is a very dangerous and ultimately counter-productive political emotion, one which threatens to trump (pun intended) the principles on which the movement has been based on for the last 60-odd years.”
Hello, idiot. [Not SeekAndFind] We voters have always been sitting here with our principles, looking over those who run, finding the one guy who comes closest to the principles, and watching him lose to the GOPe guy.
We are bleeping DONE. It’s a kabuki dance. The rage is not counter productive; it’s productive. We really do want to kill both statist parties.
>> Trump represents, as Leon Wolf has eloquently written in Red State, not any sort of conservatism, but a right-wing mob ...
Eloquent?
These establishment jerks would have favored British rule over Washington’s liberation. Different scenario, different players, but the risk of change is not that dissimilar.
Do some research and look at a picture of her property before you judge. Keep in mind she was offered a fortune.
I was critical of Cruz on TPA, the Corker Bill and H1B visas. But none of those votes or policies abridge individual rights.Wow, BFD, you were critical. SO WHAT?
You don't think a nuclear Iran coupled with all the money we're going to pay them could possibly, somehow "abridge individual rights"? Yours and your grandma's individual rights and property might be the last thing you'll have to worry about.
That's really, really pathetic.
OH BTW, Iran would make Cruz look like a meek little girl scout compared to how they would react to a real man with balls...And that Corker Bill you take so lightly could leave blood on Cruz's hands... Maybe yours.
What’s with PJ Media. Has it gone over to the Dark Side. Was it always that way? Or is it just another Erik Erikson type RedState front?
Geraghty is a douche. Just because people use the words freedom and liberty in speeches does not make them champions of those things. Look at GW Bush for example. He used those words a lot in his speeches. He gave us the DHS, TSA, NSA spying on Americans, TARP, the largest increase in welfare since 1965 up to this term, a massively bigger government and many other freedom killing things. I guess Geraghty thinks that as long as he mentioned freedom, the stuff he actually did does not matter? I do not know if Obama regularly uses those words in his speeches but it would not surprise me if he did.
They are peas in a pod. I have not trusted Rush in years.
But that's not the situation with Iran, is it?
With Iran, you have the right to refuse the customer, who has repeatedly, and very publically, stated that they intend to kill that 'someone'.
Now, to use your words 'Are you, the customer or the knife the one that abridged the victims right to life?'?
Railroads
Freeways
Electricity
Natural Gas
Canals
Lakes
Every one of those things has forced people, even little old ladies to move.
Where Kelo was insane was allowing a city to force people off property strictly to allow a city to gain revenue. Without Kelo there would still be imminent domain and you have directly benefited from it. All of those things involve some crony capitalism and only Jesus Christ can stop that.
How many Natural Rights will you retain if a nuke goes off near your home, idiot?
“He is just as sick of the GOPe as we are...or “
He is. No doubt. He is no longer in the inside beltway crowd. He used to talk about inside events but now he is nothing but a social commentator like Fox News or CNN.
This country owes Rush a great deal for educating the masses for more than 15 years before he no longer had inside information to share, but he, like all the news media, no longer has anything to report on.
Using the words is immaterial. North Korea and Red China use the words "People's Republic", and they mean nothing. Leftists use the word "freedom" but try to reserve it for themselves alone.
And no, I'm not calling Walker or Cruz liberals. They mean it, they don't just mouth it.
The word "steal" implies that there was no fair compensation. He acted within the law, a law of which I am no fan and one that can be abused. But I don't see Trump as being the abuser, but the government.
Trumpswab?
Then you are ignorant of the facts.
Key words are “her property”. I met Mrs Kelo at a rally at her home and she did not want to “ sell” her property either. But guess what? The government took it anyway to line the pockets of a developer.
You’re a liberal. Sorry but that is the fact of the matter if you think Cruz’ vote on that bill makes him liable for jihadists nut actions. But if it is any consolation there are well over a hundred million Americans who would agree with you.
You know this is getting tiresome. You liberals do not even know how to spell eminent domain, have no clue that Kelo was about taking a private citizens property to benefit another private citizen and would make excuses for Trump if he was in n to making a Muslim his running mate.
Only a liberal would assign responsibility to a Cruz vote in the senate for the actions of jihadists nuts. But you are not alone here at FR. Plenty of liberals supporting government theft of property.
