Amen, brother! Every. Single. Word.
Larri, Larri...is she gonna lemme tawk?
I suspect you were never a globalist the way I mean the term. I mean it as eradication of nationalism and moving toward a one-world central government. Graham is one of those, with the US being used to fund police actions wherever the global elites want them undertaken.
I dither between foreign intervention and non-intervention, but on a case by case basis. I think the general policy should be non-intervention. On Iraq, I supported Bush, but figured the wisdom (or stupidity) would not be clear for a few decades. Turns out the outcome became clear quicker. The US can't be trusted on long-term foreign policy, it shifts with the political winds. Iraq would be different if Obama had continued the process that Bush started but didn't finish.
Where were you back in January and February 2015?
Cruzers have been mean, vindictive, relentless since way back then.
By the time Trump came along their knives had been refined to razor sharp.
Lyin’ Ted might as well be Hillery’s running mate at this point.
>>‘Donald’ may do what ever he can to cause riots <<
Now there's a thread on it:
www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3426357/posts
WALLACE: And Senator, it's not just Boehner. Congressman Pete King of New York says, "I hate Ted Cruz."Former Senator Judd Gregg said this about you, "He's a demagogue's demagogue, and he shouldn't be trusted with the responsibilities of the office."
How do you unite, as you're trying to right now, the Republican Party to stop Trump when you're perhaps more polarizing than he is?
CRUZ: Well, Chris, it's very simple. ... John Boehner and Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are all Washington insiders. It's the same corrupt Washington game. And as you put it, Boehner's mad at me because I fought against the deals he was cutting with Obama. Donald Trump is exactly like Boehner and Hillary.
Cruz would make all the other Supreme Court justices resign.
Could be good. :)
The test should be simple: Only when strategic national interests are involved and threatened.
Obama and Hillary framed our intervention in Libya as humanitarian preventing the slaughter of tens of thousands. The reality was that Gaddafi was trying to staunch the spillover of the Arab Spring and crush the MB. We sided with the MB as we did in Egypt. More people have died than if we had not intervened at all.
And the US was being pressured by Europe to intervene in Libya to protect their oil interests and staunch the flood of refugees into Lampedusa who then entered mainland Europe. Combined with the debacle in Syria, we have now millions of Muslims entering from North Africa, the Middle East, and Afghanistan. The impact can take down the EU and alter the demographics of Europe forever. And the US will be affected as well. Actions and inaction have consequences. They will play out over decades.
Fabulous! You sound HAPPY and busy. I think the two go hand in hand.
Congratulations on being a Cantor. I’m Catholic, too, so I’m familiar with the Cantor’s role. YOU, my dear, are very courageous. Of course, you will have your wonderful New Choir Director to guide you and your Choir friends rooting for you. God bless and keep you.
Very amusing - AND everyone loves YOOGE New York values
Outstanding essay, Bray. Rush has been condescendingly using Alinski tactics against his own audience. Has Rush "jumped the shark?"
Very true, just look at Nixon, he won with overwhelming numbers.
And then he expanded the FEDERAL G'ment with new and better departments. Dept. of Education, EPA, etc. What new additional Federal G'ment dept. will we see under The Donald, The Federal WALL Dept. of course will be the first, and while I too agree that it is needed, It simply represents more tyranny and less Constitutional freedom.
DICKERSON: But if, in Cleveland, your scenario were to go forward, the person who has millions more votes -- that won't change. He will go to the convention, Donald Trump will, with millions more human being votes, real people, regular folks supporting him. And you are hoping to overthrow that with more delegates.In a situation where delegates over people, won't that lead to riots?
CRUZ: No, it won't, although Donald may do everything he can to encourage riots. ...
And just noting, this transcript also includes Lindsay Graham and Paul Manafort segments.
I really do HOPE that doesn’t happen, Dan.
I don’t think Trump will do so. I really believe he’ll CUT, not expand, government.
The reason I say this is because Trump didn’t start a wave; he’s RIDING one. Who started the wave? We did. Same folks who started the TEA Party movement. We WANT, nay DEMAND government be cut back.
If Trump goes against THAT, he’ll be left in the next trough, and someone else can ride the wave.
WE ARE THE WAVE!
So...we’d be better off with Hilary?
Yeah, we call him Rummy. Kinda takes after me!
THANK YOU, AB
for a reasoned, compassionate and eloquent appeal to all Freeprs!
Well said.
What a nasty piece of work Wallace is. He is awful to listen to—no matter WHO he is talking at...I can hardly call it “interviewing”.
The real person comes through...Trump has the positiveness of Reagen...
