The progressive elites will try to do to Cruz what they did to Abbott
The American mainstream media, the Republican Party establishment and the Democratic Party are determined that Ted Cruz not be sworn in as the 45th president.
Anyone with that opposition must be formidable.
That he is. Campaigning against Federal ethanol subsidies in Iowa, a major corn producing state, and against all poll predictions, Cruz defeated the media's favourite, Donald Trump, receiving more votes than any Republican candidate ever had. Cruz is the candidate most motivated by his attachment to traditional American principles. For his opponents, these are principles to which lip service only should be accorded these days. But the principles under which a Cruz administration would operate are the very ones on which the American Republic was founded.
Cruz does not merely mouth the proposition that all men have been endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, he lives by this. As Texas Solicitor General he had been one of America's most successful public constitutional lawyers, with a string of successes in the Supreme Court. Having memorised it while still a schoolboy, the Constitution remains his guide to the good governance of the Union. By this he means the Constitution according to the original intention of the Founding Fathers, not that fictional 'living organism' which is the tool of activist judges who claim it means whatever they want it to mean.

We will be worried about the Bern if we tear each other to shreds before we face him.
I don’t, and I don’t believe Ted Cruz believes in “waving the Constitution around,”. I believe in living by it’s design for our Republic, and a chief executive only need return to his or her mandated role for that to happen, Donald Trump won’t do that. He is used to being el heffe, not having his authority circumscribed by a piece of parchment. Ted Cruz knows that’s the only reason we are still at least a pale shadow of the Republic that once was the U.S.A.
I give up Jimbo. No one could compete with your sparkling rhetoric. I really liked,
“yeah?
so?”
It was Cruz that launched the national petition that was of importance.
Really? Just ask Cinncinatus Wife about that, and read any post with Scott Walker’ s name in it.
Just sayin’
An astute Captain of a ship (like an astute President) should always know exactly what is going on with his crew! His entire crew! Period! A mental mistake can cost lives.
I'd discuss more on this altura, but I want to spend some time now reading a fairy tale book- about misguided folks who don't notice mistakes. And btw, like the other one, don't make the mistake of banging your head on the wall (over a website in space) ;)
I agree, but what can we do?
I try to be factual and a little humorous in my posts but I think we’re making a big mistake nominating The Don.
I believe he might be the one person on earth who could actually lose to the Old Socialist or Bernie Sanders.
He’s beloved here by a large group, but that is not the case in the ‘real world.’ And he has so much baggage, he couldn’t possibly get it on American Airlines or even The Trump Plane.
Believe me, the dems are salivating over the stuff they can bring out about Trump and it won’t set well with conservative voters.
Normally I just lurk and learn. But lately this place is sounding like the folks at democraticunderground website and that is not acceptable to me. I have a choice . . . not visit here anymore or just blast away. The blasting is not working
You can’t seriously believe that any candidate knows exactly what members of a large and diverse crew are doing at a certain point in time.
I was trying to help you as you seemed to misunderstand that whole situation, but if you’d rather read fairy tales....
By the way, I hate to bring it up, but the Don got really confused the other night... he needed a nap.
I don’t know what candidate you are for, but I would seriously suggest you take a break for your own mental health.
I took a week off and it helped. I take the campaign seriously but I don’t take some of the posters seriously.
That was easy.
Have a nice day.
Do you want me to post all the DRAFT DODGING articles I’ve dug up on Trump? Google is full of them. Not just from blogs either. Draft Dodging is still a Dirty word for Vietnam Vets, my husband was one of those Drafted and then volunteered to serve. Just as Hanoi Jane is a traitor.
A poster a few days ago suggested that Raphael Sr., went to Canada after registering for the draft..and returned in 1975, after Carter’s amnesty.
Can it be proven, probably not..but it’s a possibility. Should the sins of the father reflect on the son..definitely not.
If true however, it does cast a shadow on Sr’s almost evangelical love for this country...as the Moody Blues sing in “Night’s In White Satin”....”Only we decide which is real, and which is an illusion”....
I know you didn’t ask me, but I find Ted Cruz creep too. It’s his voice, looks, mannerisms. I’m not proud of it - I realize it’s shallow, but he turns me off like Al Gore turned me off. I feel bad about it because I think he is a genuine conservative.
My reasons for not supporting his nomination go a little beyond the creepiness - namely that even though he may be right, he argues his points in a preachy way - preaching to the choir. If I have a hard time listening to things I agree with, then what are the chances he will appeal to independants and potential crossovers less bound by conservative principles. In other words I don’t think he would fare well in the general election - there just aren’t near enough pure conservative voters.
That is not to say I only support winners - I also happen to think Trump’s lack of conservative purism (which I concede) is not a problem when the nation has drifted this far leftward. We don’t need a pure conservative philosopher to point us in the right direction. The right direction is kind if obvious at this point. We just need someone who can see through the leftist foolishness and has the balls to ignore the political correct nonsense and actually do stuff that makes sense.
From Trump? Well, keep in mind that we went to war with Great Britain over Orders in Council, which were Parliamentary or Royal (I forget which) equivalents of our Executive Orders.
I would hope that Trump, if elected, would let Congress work without strewing the ground with E.O.'s .... cancelling Obama's, going all the way back to the very first number, would be an excellent first hour's work in office. That, and calling on the Israeli and British embassies to begin repairing that which Obama damaged. That would be two YUUUUge messages right there.
Speaking of naps, I too will need one after my lunch. I've been offering up too many rebutals since early this morning. Altura, all the time we spend here at fr, it's quite enjoyable though isn't it. :)
No. From Cruz.
Geez, you would have thought Cruz had compared Carson to a child molester or something . . . Oh wait, . . .
On Kelo, Trump lines up to the left of Bernie.
Well stated.
