The first of many hurtful things that were said of Ted Cruz ought to be admitted to in and of themselves to bear little resemblance to truth.

The assertion that “Lyin” Ted Cruz is among the first that are better discarded, as there never was much basis for that accusation. In the heat of sharp debate, many extraneous and meaningless charges are hurled, which no doubt come from the heart, but have no source or rationalization. Is Ted Cruz a liar? No more than a goodly portion of all other humanity, and certainly not to the degree of being “pathological”. Some small things he may have remembered wrongly, or explained in an effort to paint himself in a somewhat better light, but what person has not been guilty of that at one time or another?

Essentially, Ted Cruz embodies all the better parts of human nature, not the least of which a point of view that supports the more classic vision of “conservative”, a word bantered about much recently, to the degree its meaning is badly diluted. Limited government, fiscal responsibility and good stewardship of power entrusted, then relinquished when it is time for the new younger generation to step in their turn, with the same admonitions to be trustworthy stewards, and not to pervert and rape the system.

That other persons who style themselves to be “Americans” do not or will not recognize these attributes in Ted Cruz is an indictment of how little America means to them. “Americans in name only”, only bearing that title because of accident of birth, and not by conviction, have become one of the serious problems of the times. Bit by bit it has become, first, of less and less consequence and finally some sort of perverse virtue, fashionable to point and mock and deny all the set of American ideals that stand behind the flag and the pledge of allegiance to that flag.

Shame on those who spit upon the flag, and those who spit upon Tex Cruz and the set of principles for which he stands. Senator Cruz is perhaps a much more ethical person than some few have made him out to be.

Lets not re-fight this fight.

Thanks for posting that. I think Cruz is morally upright and has conservative ideals. He did not deserve the treatment he got from my friends here.

That said, his campaign style and delivery came across as creepy. IMHO, that’s what did him in not Donald Trump. If Cruz had a charasmatic personality, he would’ve done much better.

But he doesn’t and he didn’t.

If Donald Trump is as smart as my friends say, he should put Cruz on SCOTUS.

All of our conservative values are meaningless as long as the politicians keep enabling the globalists to “rape the system”. Where was Ted’s “jobs” speech? What was his plan for the coal miner with a high school diploma and kids? What was his plan for the factory worker in a small town whose one big factory just moved to Mexico?

You probably say that they should get a degree, move to another state, open their own business. It’s the “conservative way”, but in a nation where it costs $500 just to get the power turned on for a person with bad credit, it’s hard to find those legendary boot straps anymore. Trump beat Mr Conservative Values on one thing: he talked about things that matter to blue collar America.

Guess what. The blue collar work ethic is the mortar that conservative ideals are built with. The globalists took that away and called it Free Trade. They took away the paycheck and insured that politicians replace it with handouts. They took away our nation’s security and replaced it with record stock market numbers.

Mr Conservative Values did not address that. In fact he celebrated that as something that helps America grow (but only for a select few). He is more Mr Harvard Values than Mr Conservative Values. So, shame on you.
