, you should never allow him to command you as a person,

How about I just not allow you to command me to do what you wish for me to do or not.

You go live by your rules, and allow them to guide you in your life. I only wish well for you in your choices.

Allow me the courtesy to choose my path via my own free will. At this point in my life, I have pretty much set my sails for the optimum wind to get to where I am headed.

January 21, 2017 - “May I go in and see Mr. Obama.”

Marine: “Sir, Mr. Obama is no longer in the White House. President Cruz lives here now.”

January 22, 2017 - “May I go in and see Mr. Obama.”

Marine: “Sir, as I told you yesterday, Mr. Obama is no longer in the White House. President Cruz lives here now.”

January 23, 2017 - “May I go in and see Mr. Obama.”

Marine: “Sir, as I told you two days in a row, Mr. Obama is no longer in the White House. President Cruz lives here now. Why do you keep coming back?”

“I just like hearing that we finally have an American in the White House.”

Marine (saluting): “Yes, Sir! I will see you tomorrow, Sir!”

Good article for your list, shocked it’s from the compost.

Cruz is a Princeton and Harvard graduate. Why the left can’t get behind him is unreal.

Cruz is a Princeton and Harvard graduate (cum laude from Princeton University, and magna cum laude from Harvard Law School). Why the left can’t get behind him is obvious.

Not at all; I just wanted to add more detail on Cruz’s education. Cruz is in no way an affirmative action graduate like Obama who just got a degree for showing up and being diverse.

I hate to admit this, but I had forgotten the story of Jeremiah. It seems to fit... but probably moreso me than Ted... he isn’t quite so weepy and lonely... but I am no prophet. I just see impending doom and offer warnings that people don’t want to hear, I guess.

A surprisingly balanced article from the Post. Cruz is the most dangerous candidate (in a very good way) because he threatens to upend the existing order. And it desperately needs upending.

“IMHO Ted is better than Ronald Reagan in terms of character (and I loved and voted for him).”

I have not been as excited about a presidential candidate since Reagan. There is no doubt about it that Cruz is the real deal. He doesn’t have to convene a focus group to tell you where he stands. He exudes freedom and small government. It’s in his DNA.

To: Principled

Principled.

And he doesn’t always get his way. For example regarding legalization of Marijuana, he doesn’t like it personally but he acknowledges it’s a States Rights issue.

He’s a Constitutionalist pure and simple.

And he’s not a know-it-all. For example, he admitted that he did not know all the details of the Iran deal except for those that were leaked. And he criticized Obama for not working with Congress directly. So when he does not know everything he falls back on the Constitution and blames Obama which is absolutely true and appropriate.

This reporter is scum and is attempting to influence readers in a negative way about an American politician that he does not like. But it won’t work.

Neither our Lord nor Abraham Lincoln could’ve defeated Lyndon Johnson in 1964, so soon after the “martyrdom” of John Kennedy, as I’m sure the author knows.
