This is not about my feelings...or about rabid supporters of anyone. I have news for you...ere are rabid supporters of all candidates.

I support Cruz and will continue to do so...but there are just as rabid Cruz supporters.

Allowing Hillary or Bernie to be inflicted on America because of the likes of anyone’s rabid supporters is , IMHO, paying more heed to your own feelings and sense of injured pride than it is to the American people and the future of the country.

See my post 65.

I will be you, dollars to doughnuts, that if Trump wins the nomination..>Cruz will support him.

why will he do that? Because he knows that this is much bigger than himself.

No. It’s not about feelings.

It’s not about one man who seeks high office.

It’s not about faction and party.

It’s not about succumbing to threats if we do not vote against the greater of two evils by voting for the lesser.

It’s about understanding history, human nature, avarice & power, the Constitution and what the Founders warned us about.

It’s about understanding the historical fact that a people who are ignorant of or discard their history and heritage, perish.

I’m simply watching and noting facets of the very things that were instrumental in the suicides and destruction of every single Republic that came before ours, most notably today, the mindset of a people who are no longer capable of keeping a Republic or maintaining freedom.

I’m not of the opinion that we can stop the consequences already sown against us by casting a ballot. I do not believe that you can stop institutionalized corruption and tyranny via civil means. I do not believe that a people who see the Executive as a quasi-monarchy or dictatorship if it suits their desires, are a people in whom freedom will remain for very long. Indeed, I have no faith in a people who cannot even agree on what the definition of freedom means or was intended to mean by those who risked their lives, fortunes and sacred honor to secure it for us.

I was told to beware of false christs and false messiahs. I was told that if people say to me “He is the one” - do not follow them or believe them. That is an admonition and warning that is not limited to religious leaders. I am as equally opposed to people who ascribe a politician the same status because of the hope they lay on them, regardless of who they are or what party they are affiliated.

I will always beware of a mob, especially one that has little facts to sustain their beliefs beyond the promises of a man running for office.

I do not give a whit who endorses whom. I’m looking at a bigger picture than even you possibly are.
