Cruz, Rubio and Kasich criticize Trump for creating ‘environment’ for Chicago protest
The Washington Post ^ | March 11, 2015 | David Weigel

Posted on 03/11/2016 8:31:56 PM PST by lonestar67

"The responsibility for that lies with protesters, who took violence into their own hands. But in any campaign, responsibility starts at the top. Any candidate is responsible for the culture of a campaign. And when you have a campaign that disrespects the voters, when you have a campaign that affirmatively encourages violence, when you have a campaign that is facing allegations of physical violence against members of the press, you create an environment that only encourages this sort of nasty discord," Cruz said

“This is a conservative website. Maybe Trump does not belong here.”

You have completely lost the thread of what the conservative movement is really all about.

If you don’t see that Trump is our best hope for dismantling the Uniparty behemoth and the Fedgov monster that are eating America alive, then there’s no hope for you.

And you’ve every right to think that.

I, for one, am very disappointed in all three candidates mentioned; Sen Ted being the first and the most difficult to accept. It was thought the ?man? was on MY SIDE but finding him to be just another weaselly wabbit of a politician brings me to tears. It is impossible for him to be another John McCain due to the fact he has never worn a uniform or fought for AMERICA. Perhaps, more like Bill Clinton with a power hungry wife who has her own aspirations.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. Jesus is that peacemaker, that Son of God. But the angry mob told Him to buzz off. Nobody wanted to hear what He had to say. “Crucify Him! Crucify Him”, they cried, as He bled from raw flesh that took their sins on Himself. And He said that if He is treated so, His followers will also be treated so. We will be called weak and be despised, because HE is considered weak and despised.

No. If I could destroy you I would. You disgust me.

Remember what I told you about a bloodbath being in our near future?

The seeds are already sown. You're reading them.

God has given the nation over to it's passions and it shall have it's fill.

“I am ashamed Calgary Ted is my Senator.”

Me too. I voted to send him to Washington. I won’t be voting to keep him there.

Behavior, not words. We still have the 1st Amendment. And that is the context of this debate, whether the 1st Amendment is still law that should be upheld. Because Trump speaks uncomfortable truths, this does not make him responsible for the actions of others who hear those words. We are in a fight against turning America into a globalist entity wherein we no longer have rights or borders. There is a time to speak up, even Jesus spoke out against those who were against Him.

It has become SCREW PRINCIPLES - BURN IT ALL DOWN AND KILL EVERYONE WHO DOES NOT SUPPORT OUR KING.

THAT is what the Conservative movement in America seems to now really be all about.

John 8:44 “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you wish to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks the lie, he speaks of his own, for he is a liar and the father of it. 45 And because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me.”

Jesus did not keep silent!

I thought Cruz was supposed to be some great Constitutional expert. I guess that being an “expert” doesn’t mean that a person actually has to love or following the Constitution. Let’s see...

He doesn’t believe that only a natural born citizen is eligible to be President.
He doesn’t believe in the First Amendment.

What other parts of the Constitution does he discard?

I do seek to disrupt the idea that will rapidly be propagated here at FR that Cruz somehow sided with the protesters against Trump.

Are you a Time Lord?

If not, too late; he already did.

I cringed when Trump encouraged people to knock out the tomato throwers and he would pay for their legal fees.

You might have cringed, but Trump's suggestion is lawful. Basically, a person can use force on a person if that person is assaulting a third party. Trump's statement was made in Iowa, so I looked up the Iowa law to be sure. Most states have similar laws.

Yep. They can’t see it.

We went to a funeral, and I just listened during the fellowship time. The good salt-of-the-earth people are sickened by the political noise. They sense that everything we’ve loved in this country is passing away, because people would rather verbally shoot down their neighbor than just listen and discuss reasonably. The love of most has grown cold.

Because, as he noted, the responsibility lies with teh protesters.

****

...aaaand then he went and blamed Trump.

Sorry dude; your god-king Cruz turned out to be as phony as six squirrels in a headdress.

I’d feel bad for you if you weren’t a holier-than-thou prig for the last six months.

So now I rub it in your face.

I have no problem with Trump saying the things that need to be said. I have commended him for that here, many times. And yes, Jesus used harsh words against the Pharisees whose teachings were condemning people for whom He would die.

I don’t think He ever said that we should punch those who disagree with us in the face though. Or ridicule the Pharisees for looking like a horse.

“I think Cruz has demonstrated again and again and again true conservative principles. He has not simply professed. He has acted decisively for the conservative voters of this nation.”

You betcha:

TPA/TPP
Corker bill
Married to Goldman Sachs
Harvard lawyer
Freshman Senator
Government careerist
No executive experience
Cuban/Canadian/American
Was for more H1-B visas before he was against them
Hasn’t been attacked by Mitt Rove (wonder why?)
Stabby The Clown
Neil Bush
Billionaire donors

Yep. Nuthin but consistent conservatism there, boy!

Heck, he can't even read the plain language of the Constitution...

14th Amendment, Section 1: “All person born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the State wherein they reside.”

#1 Cruz was not born in the United States, therefore
#2 he was not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States at birth, because
#3 at the time of his birth, the place of his parents permanent residence was located in Canada

Me, 3

I actually voted for the man to start this road in politics. He, especially, received my vote due to Sarah’s endorsement of being ‘the man for US’ To find he is just another politician is the feeling that our state was used and raped by a weaselly wabbit who had to begin somewhere. USED, I feel USED. He was once considered to be the ONLY CANDIDATE on MY SIDE. It will be impossible to ever trust another Canadian again.
