"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Ted Cruz Ping!

If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.

Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!

I don’t know how explicitly Adams recognized the Lord, but it sounds like he knew the Lord was the author of freedom.

"A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice."

The attitude that led directly to the Terror in the next two years.

I would like to hear Ted Cruz’s version of this ‘event’.

[firebrand]

Two of my favorite people have dinner together. I can easily see how they had much in common and much to talk about. Both brilliant and both speak from the heart. Hope Washington doesn’t harm Cory. No chance of it harming Cruz, I think.

Booker shouldn’t feel he has to go on and eat with the other Republican senators—he’s had the best.

[Coleus]

ok, Corey, so what? the carpet bagging, empty suit, socialist had lunch with a conservative...

[Seattle Conservative]

Given Ted is polite, I doubt he asked Cory about NewarkGate (though perhaps Cory asked Sen Cruz for some legal advice regarding same):

NewarkGate: How Sen. Cory Booker’s Friends Made Out Like Bandits

New Jersey state senator Ron Rice, a Democrat, calls it “Newark-gate.” He is referring to a state comptroller’s report that details how a contractor swindled the city out of millions in public funds, and to the larger culture of “white-collar crime” that he says former Newark mayor Cory Booker allowed to flourish on his watch.
