Thomas Sowell: Ted, rather than Trump, 'has the intellect to understand' what's at stake...
(Excerpt) Read more at mobile.wnd.com ...
....”Trump is winning”....
No...Trump is running for the Primary Election...which has yet to be determined. He lost Iowa, won NH, there’s a host of other states to go....so no...he hasn’t won further then where he is currently.
Further the polls said he was winning in Iowa...he lost. So following the polls is no indication who the winner will actually be. But Trump does like to use them to keep his fans hyped regarding him.
You are not alone in your choice.....any others undecided have moved to Cruz now...Trump will continue to wilt once the other candidates turn to the issues, which he wears as a cloak and doesn’t take much to reveal they are not part of the man himself....just a surface painted picture which is why he cannot defend himself on the issues he claims.
Spin however you want, but your boy Cruz is sinking like a rock and is going to get blown out in SC. Writing is on the wall for Ted. Nobody wants to elect a preacher for President, not to mention one that lies as easily as Ted.
You’re mistaken...... Cruz is raising up the silent Christian community and speaking their language they do understand and why it’s important to vote for the right man in this election and why..... He’s right.
Nothing in Cruz’s life of public service has shown he would force his Christian religion upon others, and he has repeatedly defended the Constitution.
I would not expect the people of the world to understand that focus....it’s not met for them....though if they have ears to hear that’s a good thing.
The stakes on this nation go higher than simply a change in Governance....Without christian/Judaeo morality there is no civilization ....and without faith there are no morals.......separation of church and state does not mean that the president can not be a God fearing man and a christian worshiper as the left would have you belief...
Nothing in Cruz’s life of public service has shown he would force his Christian religion upon others, and he has repeatedly defended the Constitution....
What he is focused on doing is raising up Christians to vote rather than stay home....and telling them the risk if they don’t...he is right to do that and he speaks in the language they understand. Our nation will not survive with just a change in Governance.....it must return to the God it’s abandoned and it will be Christians who assisst in doing that.
I agree its very simple. Trump has the same kind of appeal that Jesse Ventura, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Barack Obama himself did. Some slick con artist with no track record in politics just tells gullible fools what they want to hear and promises them that he will take on the cozy political insiders, clean house and fundamentally change government. The fools believe it and drink the kool-aid that utopia will result if their guy wins. His horrible record before he ran for office and his empty vague promises mean nothing to them.
Oops. Meant to ping you on #126
Where you and I differ and where Cruz and Trump differ, is That Trump is not interested in “raising” up Christians to vote. He is interested in fighting for “Americans” and inspiring voters to come out and vote to restore American values. I don’t mean to pick a fight with you, but I guess you really can’t see how narrow your focus of the world is when you limit your views to “raising up Christians”. It’s actually very unseemly that you would even use those terms as we both know that the only Person capable of raising us up in Jesus Himself. The fact that you compare those abilities to a politician is actually scary in its own right.
Why are you writing to me? I tend to ignore your posts - anywhere and everywhere.
...”Trumps inspiring voters to come out and vote to ‘restore’ American values.”....
Really?.... what ‘values’ is he inspiring?... all those he spent 30 years opposing?
Further it’s not “unseemly” to use the terms I did....the Christian community is known for not voting because the candidates are rare to reflect the values they know come from God.....just like America needs to “wake up” so too the Christian community. Cruz is speaking to that throughout his campaign when he has a Christian audience......and why he often meets as well with Pastors.
You cannot have our nation back independent of the Christian God of the Bible....those very values and principles come from Him, not man.
Ok ...consider then an understanding and I shall do likewise.
Trump visited GW at the Ranch back in November 2000 and warned him about Bin Laden planning to attack the US and W ignored him(Trump).
Then in late 2002 two years later Trump visited W and Cheney in the WH and told them to not invade Iraq, that there were no WMDs.
Trump knew that because he used to give $$$ to Saddam, Saddam was under his control.
But W wouldn't listen because Dick Cheney told him what to do.
All that following mess could have been avoided: Sept 11 attack and the Iraq mess and ISIS, if only they listened to Trump.
On day one Trump will disarm Iran and NK and make Mexico build the Wall and force China to send back our factory jobs....and get the Dems to vote for his bills....Trump gets great deals....
If that’s a pact, I will sign it.
Writing is on the wall for Ted. Nobody wants to elect a preacher for President, not to mention one that lies as easily as Ted.
...oookay... I’ll play the game. Please tell me specifically the biggest “lie” that you are sure Cruz told. Put up or STFU, I’ll wait for your well thought out reply.
ymmv
If Ted is not a citizen FROM BIRTH, when exactly did he become one?
Ted Cruz,R,Goldman Sachs. Good luck with that!...
I want a real American in the White House. One who was born here and whose parents were born here. One with a name I can pronounce. I want them in the Supreme Court too. No more of this oath in Spanish or taken on a Koran.
Congress can confer instant citizenship by statute to any class of people born anywhere in the world to anyone. Only the Constitution can confer natural born citizenship. The definition cannot be changed by any act of Congress.
I’m with you. I’m fed up with identity politics and ethnic vanity. The best thing to be in this country is a true American. And I’m really sick of Hispanic nonsense!
The distinction is beyond silly, if it exists.
