“I think it is mainly his saying he’ll build a wall. I live in Texas and I promise you it will never be built. “

The wall thing is crazy anyway. The border can easily sealed without a government built wall. Just send National Guard personal there, and it could be closed in a week.

The goal is to seal the border; not to have a huge government make work project.

Trump knows this; but “building a wall” is a catchy phrase.

“the “conservatives” we support tell us we can go along for the ride, “

You are confusing “conservatives” with Republicans. Big difference.
The few conservatives we have in the country; such as my states Steve King; have done some good things in DC.

There is really only one candidate that could beat Trump. That candidate is Cruz.

However...., I do not consider Cruz to be a natural born citizen.

The wall will be built or the Republican Party will go the way of the Whigs.

Do you really think a leftist would have written this back in 1999?

This would be a good zot thread. A lot of old trash needs cleaning out.

"Trump does not support the abortion aspect of PP"

Riight, and he probably didn't support the holocaust aspect of Hitler, either, but boy, did Hitler do a good job of getting the German economy back on track!

I case you missed the sarcasm, your comment is the most ridiculous justification of Trump I have ever heard. Your reaction is the whole purpose of the post. Plan Parenthood IS abortion. The rest of its organization is just there for cover to keep the money flowing from killing babies.

I live in Texas and I promise you it will never be built.

***************

Could you explain your promise that it will never be built? I know there are some major
obsticales to be overcome if it is built.

It is coming from a place of sincere desperation. The last 3 Presidential election cycles and congressional races have failed to produce the Republic we knew.

Instead, we have been mislead and betrayed over and over again ...not just for Obama’s term, but also I feel in Bush’s last term.

Our vision is 20-20 looking into the past, shaking our heads and realizing we have failed the last great President’s challenge ....”freedom is only one generation away from being lost” to failing our founder’s admonition of...”a Republic, if you can keep it.”

In the land of Freedom we have failed to defend our nation from the enemy within. Instead we have exalted them as some of our nation’s best thinkers, philosophers, teachers, and scientists. We gave them room to pander their dangerous ideologies and they used our own Rights against us. All the while we complied to their demands and acquiesced our Freedom to them.

So, here we are at what I am considering the first Post-United States election. Desperation, yes that is what it is. But, Freedom has been lost and I can’t say I feel guilty about losing it, we worked within the system and being good citizens didn’t tread on the soil of the tree of liberty. We thought we could water it with votes. In a time when real drought was cutting off the blood supply, we sprinkled the ground with poisoned votes.

I don’t believe that tree is coming back to life anytime soon. Perhaps someone with save a bit of the root for another future time and another generation.

But for now Liberty has been lost. Paging through my own posting record I still believe Trump, Cruz, and Rubio are not the answer...but then the pain arrives, the ache of the heart for Post-America and faux elections.

#1- it will be 100% eminent domain here in Texas

#2- it cuts off the rio grande from ranchers cows

#3- congress and senate will never approve it.

I think the solution here in Texas is to give the feds an easement to build a road along the rio grande and atleast quadruple the border patrol. Plus give bonuses for each capture.

unless you stop illegal immigration you will have no [] country

Exactly correct. Trump is the only candidate will to tell the truth about the destruction of this nation via mass immigration. The only one, yeah maybe Cruz had a meaningless talking point or two. Cruz had the opportunity to make legal and illegal immigration the center piece of his campaign but his choose not do.

From another thread

Why are we supporting Trump? We are in a war with the Marxist globalists and we are at war with Islam and we are losing both wars. The country needs a leader that is unabashedly an American first. A leader that will defend America, rebuild the military, secure the border, defend Christianity, bring back manufacturing jobs and deport illegals. Prior to Trump getting in, NO ONE was talking about any of these things. NO ONE.

If we do not fix immigration this election cycle the country is done, the constitution is dead and we the people are screwed. That is why we the people are getting behind Trump. It got zero to do with right/left. It's survival.

I guess Phyllis Schlafly is not a conservative any more either. Trump is 'last hope for America'. Some people can see the forest thru the trees others can't.

“Cruz has done nothing for the state of Texas since elected.”

True. And he did look away, and did not support landowners, when the government was trying to use eminent domain to seize land for a foreign pipeline. This, after he promised to stand by the citizens against eminent domain.

Limbaugh has been brain washing conservative listeners into supporting the glowBULList agenda for decades. His handy work is can be seen all over Free Republic.
