No store is forcing gays to eat chocolate crucifix, and if they do not like the product, they can look elsewhere because capitalism will find the niche for their penis shaped cookies. So that Apple CEO is really an idiot corporate welfarist, a fascist. He is inherently anticapitalist and does not accept that people look elsewhere for technology.

As for illegals, we know Mexicans are corrupt and all too willing to do the dirty jobs and suck dck, litteraly. So corporations like that.

However, I have bad news for them: globalism requires government and a huge expense in police and local armament to prevent getting the wealth from being stolen by government and criminals.

This is a pipe dream. These hyppi CEOs are shrewed, but highly utopian.

Of Cruz can portray them as snobs, antiwar snobs, globalist antiAmerican snobs, racist snobs, heck, homophobic cynical snobs, then it is a win.

These people and their peace deal with iran without the military to keep the world order are living a fantasy. This stuff is not cheap.

And part of the crony capitalism is paying off the pressure groups by folding to their radical agendas, which I see as the same as paying the Dane Geld.

He performed a trifecta violation of the biblical principles of good leadership:

Exodus 18:21

Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:

Meanwhile most Americans (who aren’t paying a bit of attention to any of this political stuff) love their Nikes, love their Apple products, and can’t spend enough money at WalMart.

” Crony capitalism is the enemy of this republic.....fortune 500 companies live crony capitalism.”

Epidemic the past 10-15 years.

95% of the $4 million dollars he’s raised are from small contributions of $100 or less. A true man of the people. Apple’s Tim Cook the homo, can go pound sand. We are not going to be dictated to by a bunch of overpaid, out of touch, narcissistic Fortune 500 CEO’s.

The fact that you buy Apple products(which are mostly made in communist China) doesn’t mean you agree with Tim Cook on Indiana or gay marriage. It’s like saying you support communist China cause them iPhones and Nike that you buy are made in China.

Crony capitalism is just another name for fascism.

--- Cruz had better have one heckuva grassroots funding machine. He’s gonna need it. ---

He's running a silent-majority, grassroots campaign. He's all in. And it's going to be a big win.

There are some things that money can't buy. Like integrity.

Not only is he right on the issues, a brilliant mind and a gifted speaker, but he's a brilliant tactician as well.

    By attacking his own new law:
  1. He showed he feared men more than God.
  2. He betrayed the truth.
  3. He loved covetousness by selling out.
