So you are telling me that "words" don't matter anymore, correct?
Cruz said he disagreed with the tactics of BLM/MoveOn.....but was concerned that Trump's use of vitriolic hyperbole to "get votes" was taking the party down a dark path that Conservatives shouldn't want to go......and that makes him a LEFTIST?
I'm going to say that the "let's punch out/punish anyone that disagrees with us" mentality smacks of a TRUE leftist agenda, that we see played out daily by people like MoveOn, BLM, Hillary and Obama.
What say you?
...I just said that by condemning Trump instead of the protestors, the anti-Trump politicians are taking the focus off of the Left. Words matter a great deal, which is why Cruz is being condemned. I honestly have no idea how you read my post to suggest that words don’t matter.
Do you honestly think for a second that these Leftist thugs wouldn’t attack Cruz if he held a big convention in Chicago? He may be trying to kiss up to the GOP-e now, but he’s promoted conservative thought enough to the point where he would be a desirable target for the Left. Were Cruz to be attacked by Leftist thugs, it certainly wouldn’t be Cruz’s fault. Under this hypothetical, the only appropriate response from Trump would be to condemn the protestors.
I acknowledge the fact that the Left cannot be reasoned with. I personally have no issue with getting rid of them by any means necessary, and execution has traditionally been the best deterrent to criminal activity. They do not merely disagree with us. I would certainly hope that someone who legitimately believes Trump is a Leftist would seek to have him removed by any means necessary.
By playing ball with the GOP-e, who are inarguably Leftists, Cruz endorses the Left. Maybe he’s doing that out of political necessity, or maybe he has changed his opinions on conservatism. In practical terms, it doesn’t matter; he’s a threat.
