Ted Cruz era rising

America is at a critical, perhaps historic, turning point. There is potential now for a catastrophic failure of ObamaCare, which means a catastrophic failure for the last Kennedy, Barack Obama, and for left's American governance. Potentially we say goodbye now to the entire liberal establishment postwar: Kennedy, Johnson, Clinton and Obama, which could bring Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) to the presidency in 2016 and raise a new political era.

Three thoughts:

We enter a new political era that will be vastly different from the last. We might best think of our time here since 1776 as a prelude and the centuries ahead as the main event. Washington was the perfect center for America’s capital between North and South since 1776. But America today falls instead east and west between the Pacific and the Atlantic. And the center of such a vast and fully matured America should likewise be in the middle. Exotic it may sound, but if we don’t begin to take this into consideration today, there could in time be conflict. California will not long remain Washington's distant Tibet, and in time the “new” Western states will seek greater independence and autonomy from the “old” Eastern and colonial governance. The U.S. National Intelligence Council recently considered devolution into a "nonstate world."

if we made it more easy for them to come here, there would be no more need to stiffen border security

What a great idea! If we just burned down our houses, we wouldn't need firemen anymore! And if we left our doors open so crooks could take everything, we wouldn't need locks!
