What? The author didn’t like BO lecturing the new Naval Academy grads to stop their rapist tendencies, during their commencement exercise?
I cannot imagine.

Yes, but, the liberals tell us that we have poverty because we don’t spend enough on social programs. To the liberals, lifting people out of poverty happens when we spend more on food stamps and section 8 housing, not through enabling people to get jobs when the economy grows.
There are diametrically opposed opinions on this. Liberals unfortunately are in charge now, and their policies are being implemented big time.

Cruz is the REAL DEAL. Where guys like Ryan, Rubio, and others have fallen short. Cruz takes stands on principle first and knows how to explain it. These other guys are right much of the time, but kowtow to leadership way too often and buy into the left’s propaganda in defining the issues.

"Cruz then attended Harvard Law School, graduating
magna cum laude in 1995"

How is it that we never hear a Pope say this?

I get made everytime I see him in thinking about all those wasted years we here in Texas had with Kay Bailey taking up that Senate seat.
You guys do not try to run him as POTUS. We need him right where he is.

What really got my attention was during the filibuster when he spoke of opposing President Bush over his call to drop the death penalty in the case of a Mexican citizen.
He stood against Bush and his federal overreach despite the fact that Bush was a republican president.
We need more of that.

Ted Cruz’s farts sound better and make more sense than anything the Teleprompter Reader in Chief 0bama reads aloud.

We won’t have economic freedom until we eliminate the Fed and their collection agency the IRS.

The others fall short because they lack Cruz's immense intellectual capacity and his ability to use words as a gladiator would wield his sword. I am quite certain that no one wants to go toe to toe with him in a debate.

We wont have economic freedom until we eliminate the Fed and their collection agency the IRS.The whole point of Cruz' speech was that devoting ourselves to eliminating things goes nowhere and that prosperity results from doing things. Victimhood works for the left because they're experienced professionals; what we do well is create wealth by dealing with reality. The fed and the IRS have necessary missions, and we need to either see to it that they stick to them or we find a better way.
