Blocking legislation, defunding the government and thwarting compromise is the real mission — and he's winning.

The premise of the article is false; it is expanded upon and extended by lies, and topped off with heaping spoonfuls of pure fantasy.

In other words, a typical MSM article circa 2015.

They really do think they are entitled to their own facts.

When the left does it it’s “making progress”. When the right does it it’s “demented”.

Heather Cox Richardson teaches nineteenth-century American history at Boston College.

Oh shut up you leftist professor. How much revisionist crap have you spoon fed your students over the years?

Agreed. However, remember it is the cornered rat that bites. The organized left will fight; “shooting people and breaking things.” Conservatives are largely unorganized and unwilling to fight.

Words, language, matter. When the Left uses terms like variations of “progress” and “reactionary”, it’s important to understand their historical “revolutionary” context.

The professor would do well to read “The Forgotten Man” by Amity Schlaes.

Many Republicans believe they can work together with Democrats to hash out legislation. These are the people Cruz disdains as “the mushy middle".

That wet spot you see on the floor betwixt thar legs, that ain't rain. Ted has them flummoxed.

Summing up the Professor, Cruz is a danger because he is not a lunatic liberal.

Are the left wing writers capable of anything but ridicule and name calling? It seems not.

Well, yeah. He's just the kind of guy our founding fathers wanted. It should be almost impossible to pass a law, because the more laws passed the more oppressed the American people get.
The out of control spending and laws that try to control our bodies, minds, and beliefs are how we ended up being nothing but tools and slaves for the political class - those who want nothing but unlimited luxuries, unlimited power, and unlimited freedoms only for themselves!

We need more and more people like Cruz who are willing to stand up to the powers that be and take back from them what they have stolen from us. And Cruz is a modern day type Robin Hood, who stole from the greedy oppressive government and gave the stolen wealth back to the impoverished tax payers who actually earned it.

Yeah. Who in their right mind can be against Cruz? Imagine what the opposite would be! Have we learned nothing from Stalin, Mao, Mussolini, Hitler, Chavez, Castro, Oboma? Is THIS the kind of life a people would want for themselves by NOT voting for a man like Cruz? I think not!

My conclusion as well. I’ve been reading and listening to this sort of nonsense for far too long. I made it through the first paragraph. That was enough.

[It is an error to dismiss the Cruz candidacy as quixotic. Political observers make the mistake of thinking that he and his ilk are simply at the far right of the same political spectrum that the rest of the country reflects.]

TED CRUZ has the same values as the Founding Fathers, who loved God, Family, and Country. Many Christians who share CRUZ’s values plan to get out the vote and will elect him PONTUS.

Call us ‘ilk,’ but we Christians wear that label with pride knowing we are joint-heirs of the resurrected KING. HE has promised to fight our battles for us. If GOD is with us, who can be against us?

“”Blocking legislation, defunding the government and thwarting compromise is the real mission — and he’s winning. “”

Sounds like the Hypocrisy of the left has met its Clone.
