Yes, so hows ‘bout leaving off the “radical” adjective when describing islam?
Maybe a little easier to read:
To protect American national security we must first understand what threatens American national security. We must grasp who our enemies are, what animates them, and how they work together — despite their internecine rivalries — to destroy us from without and within. We must stop trying to define “true Islam” and start restoring our own principles as our guide: liberty, equality of opportunity, the rule of law, and peace through strength.
The vast majority of Americans still believe in these principles. It is Washington that has lost faith. It is Washington that looks at liberty’s enemies and sees friends; that looks at anti-Western Islamic supremacists and sees “moderates” it can play ball with; that looks at lawbreakers and tut-tuts that “the system is broken.”
Reinvigorating American principles will require taming Washington. It calls for restoring the Constitution as a vital limit on government, not a relic . . . or an obstacle.
Ted Cruz gets this. Many Republicans talk the talk — we hear it in every election season, right up until it is time to stop campaigning and start governing. Senator Cruz walks the walk. That is why I believe he should be the next president of the United States.
Cruz understands that the most immediate enemy the United States confronts on the world stage is Islamic supremacism, which ignites jihadist violence through its state sponsors, terror networks, and activist organizations. The senator has not just fought against President Obama’s disastrous Iran deal, which enriches the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism while making it a threshold nuclear power. Cruz has concurrently pushed for the designation, at long last, of the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization.
Hmmm, I think Trump is still a good contender too.
He has a different way of showing disdain for politics as usual, but he definitely shows it.
Oh, Ted is good — stained-glass good, alabaster-saint good. There’s a story about a company that was in serious doubt when it hired its best CEO candidate, because the fellow had never failed. They therefore had no idea how he would handle failure. After much misgiving, they hired him anyhow and he did wonderfully to the point of the writing of the account, but the point remains. There may be a reason that Trump is doing better in the polls and it’s perhaps because he looks more “human.”
His only problem is going to be having Congress listen to him. Not going to happen. He will be frustrated just like Obama. He will end up having to do EO’s like Obama. The Senate especially will want him to fail and be a one-termer.
I'm not complaining since I like the good publicity for Ted Cruz, but it's already posted with 175+ replies here if anyone is interested in other comments:
CRUZ BUMP!
Ted has my vote.
When National Review starts pushing Cruz, you know they’ve gone desperate to take out Trump.
I’d be happy with Cruz, but I’d like him better as Trump’s VP.
He has no ‘Joe Sixpack’ appeal at all.
The media has been given their mantra -”TRUMPTRUMPTRUMPTRUMPTRUMPTRUMPTRUMPTRUMPTRUMPTRUMP’
They have been bought - and/or gotten the lawyer letters...
it’s all TRUUUUUMP
and the sheeple follow
